Stairs that float.

Floating cantilevered treads stairs, and single-spine (mono-stringer) staircases, with fine steel-rod balustrades. We make the steel structure and balustrade; timber treads are supplied and installed by your builder.

Yes. Every stair is designed to the NZ Building Code, including F4 fall-protection and barrier requirements. Your engineer designs the structure and provides the PS1 design producer statement, and we fabricate to that design and provide the PS3 construction producer statement.

A new staircase is normally part of the building consent for a new home or renovation, and your designer or council can confirm what applies to your project. Your engineer provides the PS1 for the design, and we provide the PS3 for the steelwork we fabricate.

Every stair is designed for its space, so the price depends on the stair type, the number of treads, the balustrade, the finish and how the stair is supported. Send us your plans and we will give you a quote.

Often, yes. Cantilevered floating treads need a strong fixing, either a reinforced wall or a concealed steel stringer, so the existing structure needs to be checked by your engineer first. A spine or stair is often an easier retrofit because it carries its own load.

A spine (mono-stringer) stair runs on a single central steel beam, with each tread supported off it. The result is a very open, minimal stair that looks like it floats, without relying on a wall for support.

Powder coat or paint in any colour. Black and white are popular, and we have made stairs in olive green to suit a timber-rich interior, like our Mt Pleasant circular stair. Treads are usually timber, supplied and fitted by your builder.

Yes. See our floating circular staircase in Mt Pleasant and our floating-tread stair in Cass Bay, both in Christchurch.

Every stair is made to order, so timing depends on the design and our workshop schedule. We will give you a timeframe with your quote. Talk to us early in your build so the stair is ready when your builder needs it.

Yes. We design and make steel staircases in Christchurch for homes across Queenstown, Wānaka and Central Otago, as well as Christchurch and Canterbury, Nelson and Marlborough, and nationwide, and coordinate delivery with your builder.

Yes. We design and make steel staircases and balustrades in Christchurch for homes in Nelson, Richmond, Blenheim and across the Tasman and Marlborough regions, and coordinate delivery with your builder.

We make every staircase in Christchurch and deliver nationwide, including the North Island. Regular projects across Christchurch and Canterbury, Queenstown, Wānaka and Central Otago, and Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough. Installation is by your builder or one of the trusted subcontractors we work with, and we coordinate delivery to suit your build programme.

Yes. We make steel balustrades and handrails for new and existing staircases, decks and voids, in flat bar, rod, blade or with glass, powder-coated or wet-painted to any colour, and we can match an existing stair.

Yes. Exterior steel stairs and balustrades are made in galvanised and powder-coated steel or corten, designed for weather and, for Queenstown and Wānaka homes, snow and ice. We detail drainage and non-slip treads to suit.
