These staircases create a modern, floating effect with a single steel beam for support. We design them to maximize light and space, using solid oak treads and toughened glass balustrades for a clean, open feel.

During installation, each solid oak tread is carefully bolted to the custom-fabricated brackets on the steel spine.

The floating staircase is installed before the final flooring is laid, ensuring a clean integration with the finished surfaces.

The combination of warm oak, sleek glass, and industrial steel creates a balanced and modern look for this home's main staircase.

About Centre-Spine Staircases

When you choose a centre-spine design, the structural strength comes from a heavy-duty steel beam tucked directly beneath the treads, which eliminates any bounce or movement. We use 60mm to 80mm thick solid oak or ash for the steps, ensuring they feel substantial underfoot while keeping the overall look light and airy.
