At Custom Staircases, we pride ourselves on designing and building bespoke staircases that make a statement. One of our core specialties is floating steel spine staircases—a modern and visually striking feature that effortlessly blends architectural form with functional design. These staircases have become a favourite among homeowners, builders, and architects looking to elevate the look and feel of residential and commercial spaces.
The Art of Floating Staircases
A floating steel spine staircase creates the illusion of suspended steps, offering a sleek and open design that brings light, flow, and elegance to any interior. At the heart of each build is a robust steel spine, providing strength and stability while supporting the clean, minimalist aesthetic clients love. Whether it’s a central spine or cantilevered style, our steel fabrication ensures long-lasting durability and safety.
Premium Hardwood Timber Treads
To complement the industrial strength of the steel spine, we offer a curated range of high-quality hardwood timber treads that add warmth, texture, and natural beauty to each staircase. We work with a variety of premium timbers, including:
- Jarrah – A rich, deep red native hardwood known for its strength and dramatic grain.
- Australian Oak – A versatile, pale timber that offers a timeless, contemporary finish.
- American Oak – Sought after for its light, clean grain and consistent texture.
- Blackbutt – A durable, golden-brown timber with a clean, straight grain perfect for modern interiors.
- Marri – Distinctive and bold, with striking gum veins and unique character.
Each timber is carefully selected, treated, and finished to showcase its natural beauty and ensure long-term performance underfoot.
Balustrading Options: Wire & Glass
To complete the staircase, we offer a range of custom balustrading options, each chosen for its ability to complement the floating design while meeting safety and compliance standards.
- Wire Balustrading – A popular choice for a minimalist, coastal or industrial look. Stainless steel wire offers strength, transparency, and low maintenance while preserving open sightlines.
- Glass Balustrading – For a truly modern and luxurious finish, toughened glass balustrading adds elegance and enhances the sense of space and light. It’s perfect for homes and businesses aiming for a sleek, uninterrupted view.
