Why Choose Floating Stairs for Your Project?
Floating stairs offer a high-end, modern look that makes a bold statement in any interior. Unlike traditional staircases, these stair systems feature open risers and concealed or minimal framing—allowing each step to appear suspended in air.
They’re ideal for:
- Modern homes in areas like Pineway and Arbor Creek, especially new builds or high-end remodels
- Office renovations and lobby upgrades in downtown Wichita or Goddard
- Commercial buildings in places Northeast Wichita looking to incorporate modern architectural elements
With suspended stairs, you’re not just improving access—you’re adding architectural value. Many Wichita homeowners and developers are also removing older stair systems during renovations and replacing them with modern staircases to elevate the design of their space.
Where Are Floating Staircases Commonly Used?
Floating stair systems are a favorite in both residential and commercial settings where visual impact matters. We build custom staircases for:
- Luxury homes and upscale custom residences
- Office lobbies, showrooms, and modern commercial buildings
- Renovation projects that call for open, airy interiors
- Multi-level properties where the staircase serves as a design centerpiece
We work closely with architects, builders, and property owners throughout Wichita to fabricate floating stairs that meet both structural demands and design goals.
How Are Suspended Stair Systems Built?
At Wichita Metal Stair and Fabrication, we fabricate different stair styles based on each project’s requirements. Here's a breakdown of some of the common items we work on:
Steel Stringers for Floating Stair Support
The “floating” effect is made possible by steel stringers—most often a mono stringer, which runs centrally beneath the stair treads. This single-beam system provides the strength of traditional stairs while maintaining a clean, open appearance.
We also fabricate dual or side-mounted metal stringer stairs when a project requires a more dramatic or cantilevered look. Every stringer is precision-cut and welded in our Wichita facility for clean finishes, structural integrity, and full code compliance. The large pieces can be challenging to install, but our team handles all those steps for you.
Custom Tread Options for Floating Stairscases
The treads play a big role in defining the visual tone of your floating staircase. We offer several premium tread options to match your interior style and we can source just about anything you can imagine. Some of the most popular options are:
- Butcher block treads: A warm, natural look ideal for high-end homes
- Glass treads: Sleek, transparent, and ideal for commercial applications
- Concrete treads: Industrial, heavy-duty, and perfect for modern or minimalist interiors
Each tread is custom-fitted to your stair system and available in a variety of finishes, shapes, and dimensions. When selecting wood, we offer all kinds of varieties so you can find the perfect shade to match your home or a statement piece that stands out.
Modern Railing Systems for Suspended Stairs
Floating stairs pair beautifully with open, minimal rail systems that protect without obstructing sightlines. We fabricate:
- Glass railings for a seamless, transparent finish that keeps the focus on the stairs
- Cable railing systems for a clean, linear look—perfect for modern homes and exposed metal designs
- Metal railing, usually in aluminum, made in standard styles or modern looks with round bars or square tubes
Our railing systems are designed and built alongside your staircase for a perfect match and smooth installation.
Stair Systems for Wichita’s Codes and Climate
Every floating stair system we build is engineered to meet Wichita building codes and designed to last through Kansas weather conditions—including hot summers, dry winters, and varying humidity. While the bulk of classy floating stair systems are installed inside, we do exterior stairs as well.
From loft apartments in Delano to custom homes in Maize, our stairs are made to stand up to the elements and exceed safety standards across Sedgwick County and beyond. If you're needing a more functional approach to a staircase as a much lower price, consider a standard
steel stair option. We can speak with you, exploring both scenarios over the phone or in person. Reach out today:
