Floating stairs achieve a sense of visual lightness and spatial transparency through hidden mechanical structures such as metal frames, glass treads or concrete supports, and are widely used in modern homes, commercial Spaces or art installations.
1. Application scenario of floating stairs
1.1 Small house: Apartment, loft and other space limited environment.
1.2 Modern style decoration: minimalist, industrial, light luxury and other design styles.
1.3 Open space: living room with visual continuity, duplex overhead area.
1.4 Commercial space: exhibition halls, villas, high-end clubs and other places that pursue a sense of design.
2. Design considerations
2.1 Security
It must be designed by a professional team to ensure that the load-bearing structure and fastening method are reliable.
Pedal non-slip treatment (e.g. glass non-slip strip, frosted surface).
2.2 Structural fit
Attached walls should be load-bearing walls or reinforced by independent support structures.
The slope of the stairs should be ergonomic (generally step height 15-18cm, depth 25-30cm).
2.3 Lighting collocation
Embed light strips or wall lamps to avoid shadows from walking at night
2.4 Unity of style
The material and color should be coordinated with the overall decoration (such as black, white and gray modern style, or log natural style).
3. Types of floating stairs
3.1 Full suspension
There is no visible support at all, it is fixed by the top structure, and the pedals are mostly glass or metal.
3.2 Semi-suspended type
There are hidden supports at the bottom (such as metal frames) for more visual concealment.
3.3 Cantilever type
The pedal is extended outward by the mechanical principle, which is suitable for the large-span design.
