Floating staircases are the epitome of architectural elegance. They appear to defy gravity, giving interiors a minimalist, airy feel. But behind the sleek design lies a carefully engineered structural system that ensures safety and stability. At Constructions Kerala, we transform these architectural illusions into rock-solid reality.
What Is a Floating Staircase?
A floating staircase is designed to create the illusion that the steps are suspended in mid-air without visible support. The treads are typically anchored into the wall or supported by concealed stringers, providing a seamless and modern look.
These staircases are perfect for contemporary homes, luxury villas, and modern commercial spaces looking to maximize openness and visual flow.
Structural Engineering Behind the Illusion
Though they appear weightless, floating staircases demand precise structural planning. Key engineering elements include:
- Wall-Embedded Steel Stringers: Hidden steel frames distribute loads into structural walls.
- Mono-Stringer Systems: A single central beam supports all treads with minimal visibility.
- Glass Railings & Side Supports: For additional lateral stability without obstructing the open look.
- Reinforced Concrete Cantilever Steps: For projects needing a monolithic concrete aesthetic.
Check out our real estate projects in Kerala to see floating staircases elegantly integrated into luxury spaces.
