Floating Steel Staircase Fabrication and Installation in Israel

t391-6

A floating steel staircase is an open-tread staircase whose treads appear to hang from the wall, with no visible supports beneath them. It is fabricated from steel to measure, using concealed structural members, and installed after on-site measurement and approved drawings. The result is a minimalist staircase that keeps light and space flowing through the room.

What makes a staircase look like it floats

The floating effect comes from hiding the structure. Steel treads are fixed to a concealed steel spine or to wall brackets set into the building, so nothing appears beneath each step. The visual lightness depends on slim profiles, precise welds and a clean finish on every visible edge.

Thin, consistent tread profiles
Smooth, uniform finish across all surfaces

Because the design relies on what is hidden, the engineering behind it matters as much as the appearance.

Design planning with the architect

Before fabrication, we agree on the staircase's route, rise and run, landing positions and how it meets the wall. Designers often bring a sketch or a reference photo, which helps us understand the intended character. We ask about tread material, handrail preference and whether the staircase will be seen from several floors.

Early coordination with the architect and interior designer prevents conflicts with wall finishes, lighting and electrical routes that may need to be placed within the wall.

On-site measurement and drawings

Accurate measurement is the foundation of a floating staircase, since there is little room for adjustment after the steel is cut. We measure the opening, floor levels and wall construction on site, then prepare a detailed drawing and written specification for client approval.

The approved drawing is the reference for everything that follows.

Fabrication in our factory

Once the drawing is approved, the stringer or spine, brackets and treads are cut and welded in our factory at Rival Street 37 in Tel Aviv. Each component is checked against the drawing before it moves to finishing. Working in-house lets us control weld quality and fit, which is important when treads must align perfectly without visible supports.

We have been fabricating steel since 1945, and the same attention to detail guides every staircase we build today.

Finishing and protection

Steel staircases are finished to suit both the look and the environment. Hot-dip galvanizing gives strong corrosion protection, and powder coating offers a wide choice of colors and a smooth surface. For interior projects, the finish is chosen with the designer so it matches flooring, railings and other metalwork.

Edges and joints are ground and finished so the staircase reads as one continuous element.

Installation and final fit

Installation is done carefully, since the wall anchors carry the load. We confirm the wall condition, set the brackets or spine, and then fit each tread in sequence, checking level and alignment as we go. Handrails and any glass balustrade are added once the main structure is fixed and verified.

Railing requirements follow the Israeli standard SI 1142, and we check exact dimensions with the project engineer before final installation.

Frequently asked questions

Is a floating steel staircase safe?

Yes, when it is properly engineered and anchored. The structure is designed for the loads it will carry, and the wall connections are checked during installation.

Can a floating staircase be installed in an existing building?

Often yes, provided the wall can take the anchoring and the openings are measured accurately. We assess the wall condition on site before recommending a solution.

How long does the process take from inquiry to installation?

The timeline depends on design approval, fabrication and site readiness, so we agree on a schedule once the drawing is confirmed. Please ask us for an estimate tailored to your project.

Can I choose the tread finish and color?

Yes. Treads can be finished in galvanized steel or powder-coated colors, and we help you choose a finish that matches the rest of the interior.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering before final measurements and wall details are confirmed is the most common error, since the steel cannot easily be adjusted afterward. Choosing a finish without considering the environment and daily use can also lead to early wear.

Our recommendation

Share your floor plan, a photo of the opening and a rough sketch of the route before any work starts, so we can plan the structure and anchoring early. Ask for the drawing and specification in writing and approve them before fabrication begins.

Summary

A floating steel staircase combines hidden structure with precise steel fabrication and careful installation. Measured, drawn and approved first, it delivers a clean, open staircase built to last.
