As the region’s largest staircase manufacturer, Trueline Moulding, Stairs & Railing has engineered and installed hundreds of floating staircase systems that transform ordinary interiors into architectural showcases. Whether you’re a builder, designer, or homeowner, our floating stairs deliver the perfect balance of engineering precision and visual impact.
The Evolution of the Modern Staircase
Staircases were once purely functional—tucked away and forgettable. Today’s open-concept designs demand more. Modern floating staircases have emerged as sculptural focal points that define spaces, maximize natural light, and create dramatic visual interest while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Floating stairs appear to defy gravity. Each tread is supported by precision-engineered hidden mounting systems—typically concealed steel brackets or wall-mounted structural supports—that create the illusion of weightless steps suspended in mid-air.
Why Floating Staircases Deliver ROI
Enhanced Natural Light Flow – Open-riser construction eliminates solid backs between treads, allowing light to pass freely through the stairwell, creating brighter, more spacious interiors.
Increased Property Value – Floating staircases are consistently recognized as premium architectural features that appeal to discerning buyers and become key selling points.
Architectural Versatility – Floating designs work seamlessly with contemporary, industrial, transitional, and even refined traditional interiors when paired with the right materials and finishes.
Space Optimization – The visual transparency of floating stairs makes rooms feel significantly larger without sacrificing square footage—critical in urban homes and modern open-plan designs.
Design Configurations
We fabricate floating staircases in multiple layouts: Straight Run (most cost-effective), L-Shaped (90-degree with landing), U-Shaped (180-degree turn), and Curved (dramatic sculptural impact).
Stringer Systems
Mono Stringer Design – A single central support beam creates maximum visual openness, ideal for double-height entryways and open lofts.
          Dual Housed Stringer Design – Stringers positioned on either side provide robust support while             maintaining the open-riser aesthetic
Railing Options
All railing systems meet or exceed building codes without sacrificing aesthetics:
Glass Railing Systems – Tempered glass panels provide unobstructed sight lines with post-and-clip or frameless installation options.
Cable Railing Systems – Horizontal or vertical stainless steel cables create industrial-modern aesthetics with superior sight lines.
Metal Railing Systems – Custom-fabricated steel or aluminum railings offer unlimited design possibilities with finishes including powder coating, brushed stainless, and blackened steel.
Tread Materials
Stain-Grade Hardwood Treads – Precision-milled from premium hardwood including White Oak, Red Oak, Walnut, Maple, Sapele, Vertical Grain Fir, and paint-grade Poplar.
Overlay-Ready Treads – Engineered to accept hardwood veneer, engineered flooring, luxury vinyl plank, carpet insets, or custom stone and concrete for seamless integration with your primary flooring.
Integrated LED Lighting
We offer integrated LED lighting solutions with tread lighting (recessed LED strips beneath each tread) and handrail lighting (integrated LED channels) using low-voltage technology with dimming capabilities and 50,000+ hour lifespans.
