Very popular and so intriguing nowadays are the floating stairs designs. The treads of the stairs are attached on one side, (a wall or a stringer) and the opposite side is unsupported, giving the appearance of ?floating? in space. Structurally a railing is not needed but is possible to mount one, either on or against the steps. The floating designs of staircases are usually made of wooden, glass or stone steps, but other metals are used also. This design of floating effect and the staircase structure can be made on spiral staircases, curved stairs, straight stairs or quarter turn stairs. You choose what you want for your home!
