Introducing the ultimate design in luxury staircases - The Floating range

The Floating staircase is the original staircase of desire. This work of art has been perfected by our engineers and craftsmen to create a distinctive piece which appears to simply float from the wall. Each element can be customised to truly reflect your style.

We stand by what we create

The Float staircase uses either a cantilever style or spine structure to create a true floating effect in the space, eliminating the need for structural posts. With its clear glass balustrade nd solid timber treads, this distinctive structure is a work of art in itself. Once customised o your requirements, it will become a real statement piece in your home.

We recommend enquiring about your float staircase during the early stages of your build, this way we can advise on wall specifications to make the Float staircase installation simple and cost effective from the start.

  • Chunky wooden box treads made bespoke to your requirements
  • Choose frameless glass or try a beautifully crafted continuous handrail
  • Available as a cantilevered or spine design
  • Cantilevered design requires a structural wall

"The whole process of creating a cantilevered staircase is much more involved than that of a conventional staircase and truly becomes a labour of love. We have perfected our design over the last few years, focusing on the smallest of details to ensure that the end product is flawless.

We have to work closely with our customers through every detail and we develop great working relationships”.

“Our builder said that a floating staircase was not available for our property, but after speaking to Adam, he was able to utlise the structural beams inside of the walls of the build to create a floating effect we were set on. We now have the staircase we have always wanted in our new build.”

Case Study: Borth y Gest, Porthmadog

Designer/Surveyor: Adam

Mr Faulkner built a stunning home on the cliffs of Porthmadog, North Wales and we were blown away by the vision that Mr Faulkner had throughout his home. The detailing throughout the home was impeccable and it was clear that the staircase had to compliment this Grand Design.

We created a fully floating, curved half landing for the ultimate level of comfort and aesthetic. This floating landing features a solid 110mm oak board… our largest ever section of solid oak. In order to complement the interior we created a custom stain for all timber components to match the doors and architrave throughout the home. Alongside this curved landing is toughened and polished curved glass balustrades, creating a fluid balustrade like no other.

Such a unique project from design to installation and a pleasure to add to our portfolio. View our time-lapse video to see this masterful installation.
