Floating Staircases
Floating and cantilevered stairs with architectural lightness
Floating stairs and cantilevered staircase structures are among the most demanding disciplines in modern staircase construction—and have been a particular speciality of Siller Stairs for many years. They embody visual lightness, precision engineering and an exceptional architectural presence.
Although a staircase cannot physically “float”, innovative structural solutions can create the impression of almost weightless architecture. The considered use of load-bearing glass elements, concealed fixing systems and precisely integrated support structures produces staircases that appear to float freely within the space.
Cantilevered stairs with slender glass balustrades and technically demanding projecting treads create a particularly pared-back, elegant design language and lend interiors an exceptional sense of openness. Transparency, the handling of light and the minimal visibility of technical elements transform the structure into a sculptural feature of modern architecture.
Glass, used as both a design and load-bearing material, also offers further possibilities for bespoke features. Reflections, frameless transitions, finely integrated material contrasts and unusual surface treatments create unique architectural effects. Models such as Mistral Magic embody this union of innovation, transparency and exacting design.
Planning cantilevered stairs demands the highest level of experience, structural understanding and constructional precision. While conventional string or central-stringer stairs deliberately incorporate visible supporting structures, the challenge with floating stairs is to make their structural stability almost invisible.
This is precisely where Siller combines inventive engineering with outstanding craftsmanship. When screws, brackets and load-bearing elements recede visually into the background, the resulting staircase solutions are not only technically sophisticated but visually exceptional.
Cantilevered and floating stairs thus become architectural statements—created for projects in which lightness, precision and modern design take centre stage.
