Floating Staircases in Tennessee

Floating stairs use concealed supports so treads appear to hang from the wall, creating an open, architectural look.

About our floating staircases service

A floating appearance relies on a deliberately engineered support system, not simply on removing visible trim. The tread thickness, wall or central support, railing attachments, and surrounding structure define the finished result.

Planning the scope

Feasibility depends on the existing building structure and the selected support system. Concealed steel, custom tread fabrication, and specialist design review may affect both price and installation sequence.

Preparing your project

Show the wall beside the staircase and the areas above and below it. Ask how supports will be concealed, how movement will be controlled, and how the stair and guard system will be reviewed for your location.

Understand what supports the floating appearance

Floating stairs can use a central spine, concealed wall connections, or another engineered assembly. These are not interchangeable decorative options. The support must transfer loads into suitable structure, and the appearance of the underside depends on how that support is detailed. A wall that looks solid in a photograph may not provide the backing needed by the selected system.

Ask how tread movement, railing attachment, and access for installation will be evaluated. Thick timber treads, metalwork, and surrounding wall finishes can require coordinated fabrication. Review the stair from below as well as from the entrance, including visible fasteners and the junction with the upper landing. Opening limits and guarding need local review before a reference image is treated as a construction plan.

What to expect

  • A review of photos or an in-home visit to measure and assess your stairs.
  • Material and finish recommendations that match your floors and style.
  • Protection of nearby floors and walls, plus daily cleanup.
  • A final walkthrough to make sure everything is solid and finished well.
