Open floating stair risers introduce a sleek, minimalist design, often seen in contemporary architecture. These stairs appear to 'float' as they are anchored solely to a wall, leveraging the principle of cantilever to support the treads. The risers are 'open', meaning there's no solid vertical component, which adds to the illusion of floating and facilitates the flow of light. This design transforms the staircase into a statement piece, offering a visual spectacle that also serves a functional purpose. However, engineering and construction need to be precisely executed for safety and stability, making it a feat of both design and technology.
Open Floating Stair Profiles are constructed with typical stair tread thicknesses between 2.5”-4.5” (6.4-11.4 cm) and allowable nosing overlaps of 1”-1.5” (2.5-3.8 cm).
Stair treads have a minimum allowable depth of 11” (28 cm) with riser heights between 4”-7” (10-18 cm). Stair nosings can protrude between 1”-1.5” (2.5-3.8 cm) with a maximum riser angle of 30 degrees.
