Stair designs

  • Straight

    One run from floor to floor, the simplest and most open layout.

  • L-shaped

    A quarter turn with a landing, for corners and tighter footprints.

  • U-shaped

    A half turn with a landing, when the stair has to come back on itself.

  • Center stringer

    One steel spine under the treads, so each step seems to float.

  • Double stringer

    Two steel side beams for a strong, architectural frame.

  • Wall-mounted

    Treads fixed to the wall for the lightest look of all.

Choose your expression.

    Steel structure

    Clean, contemporary steel frames, built to carry the stair for decades.

  • Hardwood stair tread samples in light, medium and dark finishes

    Wood treads

    Hardwood treads in a range of species and finishes, from pale oak to dark walnut tones.

  • Black metal baluster railing and handrail beside light wood treads

    Glass & metal railings

    Clear glass panels or architectural metal balusters to set the look of the stair.

Railings

The railing finishes the stair and keeps it safe. Glass keeps the stair light and open; metal balusters draw a clear, graphic line. Both can continue along the landing or the gallery above.

  • Glass panels with a metal or wood handrail
  • Vertical metal balusters
  • Matching railings for landings and lofts
  • Heights and spacing planned to your local building code
