Every detail matters when designing floating stairs that blend seamlessly into a modern space. Our team collaborates with clients to create custom solutions, using advanced 3D design programs to visualize every angle before the first cut. We consider factors like air circulation, wall placement, and floor load to ensure the stairs feel weightless yet fully supported. Metal frameworks and premium wood treads are engineered for durability and style, while railings balance safety with sleek aesthetics.
Installing modern stairs is a meticulous process that blends craftsmanship with technical expertise. Each staircase begins with precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit for your space. We carefully select high-quality materials like wood, glass, and metal to create a balance of durability and elegance, tailored to your design preferences.
The illusion of unsupported steps is achieved through engineered brackets and hidden structural supports, providing both stability and style. Our team considers factors like weight distribution, tread thickness, and the ideal railing placement to ensure a functional and safe staircase for any environment. Whether it’s a sleek, modern style or a family-friendly design, we focus on every detail to meet your unique needs.
Cantilever stairs bring a modern, sleek feel to any house, with treads appearing to float effortlessly against the wall. These stunning designs are engineered with hidden support structures, often anchored into reinforced walls or steel brackets, allowing maximum open space beneath. They are a perfect choice for compact areas, as they create an airy, spacious look.
Traditional staircases, while functional and timeless, often require more materials and space, making them less suited for modern, minimalist homes. However, their durability and straightforward construction make them a practical option for larger properties.
We recommend cantilever stairs for clients aiming for a bold, contemporary staircase design. Combining quality materials like glass or wood with sturdy construction, they redefine how staircases integrate into your living space while prioritizing safety and aesthetics.
Navigating building regulations for floating staircases can feel like walking a tightrope, but we make the process seamless. Toronto’s construction codes demand precise calculations, especially for cantilever stairs that rely on hidden supports. The thickness of stair treads, typically 2 inches or more, must align with safety standards while maintaining that floating illusion. Glass railings are often required to meet the railing industry’s safety benchmarks, ensuring stability without compromising design. We help our clients manage permits, providing clear guidance every step of the way.
The time it takes to install floating stairs can vary, but most projects are completed within 4 to 8 weeks from the start of construction. This timeline includes precise measurements, manufacturing custom treads, and securing glass railings. Each staircase is tailored to fit the specific building and floor layout, so even small adjustments—like anchoring to uneven walls or handling Toronto’s varied building codes—can add a day or two. High-quality materials like engineered wood or tempered glass require careful handling to ensure long-lasting durability. Our projects prioritize both quality and the timeline.
Adding safety features to floating stairs is a must to ensure both functionality and elegance. We add safety features to floating stairs that combine sleek design with reliability. Glass railings are secured with engineered brackets, ensuring stability while maintaining an open, airy feel. The treads are precisely measured to prevent slipping, with textured wood or non-slip coatings added for extra grip. We anchor cantilevered stairs directly into the wall structure, distributing weight evenly and enhancing durability. For multi-story projects, handrails are designed to seamlessly integrate without compromising style or safety.
Floating staircases bring a unique blend of elegance and innovation to any home. At Royal Oak, we’ve perfected the art of crafting these modern stairs with precision and style. Each staircase is not just a structural element but a statement piece that redefines living spaces. Using advanced laser systems and robotic production tools, we ensure every tread is cut to perfection, aligning seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
Homeowners across Toronto increasingly turn to floating stairs for their sleek design and efficient use of space. A well-built staircase can handle weights of up to 1,000 pounds per step while maintaining an open, airy feel. With options like glass railings or wood finishes, each project reflects the homeowner’s specific needs and style. Floating stairs don’t just elevate the look of a home—they offer practical benefits, like enhanced lighting flow and optimized floor plans.
As consumers tastes continue to evolve, interior stairs continue to be a focal point in many new homes and home renovations. Because of this, quality and selection of product is very important to accent the interior of any home. Royal Oak meets both the structural and aesthetic needs for a wide range of stair installations. All types of wood species are available, including Oak, Maple, Birch, Beech, Ash, Mahogany, Walnut, Jatoba, reclaimed Elm and Cherry to name a few. ‘Wall supported’ or ‘Freestanding’ curved staircases are available with an unlimited range of custom components, including custom handrail profiles and custom balusters.
Circular staircases offer functional ascent and visual splendor, their space beneath providing extra storage. Both practical and decorative, they emphasize architectural style, making grand statements that vastly enhance entryway appearances. Suitable for residential and commercial purposes, Royal Oak Railing & Stair custom-tailors designs per client needs and desires. Peruse our gallery showcasing prior work, then contact us to discuss options.
Contemporary architecture favors visual openness, lightness and simplicity inside. Open-concept stairs align with these trends, complementing minimalist, modern or traditional designs. Comprised solely of treads – horizontal components – spacing remains free, creating an airy, floating atmosphere. Equally functional and safe as enclosed counterparts, they’re beautiful decorative elements too. A major benefit is not partitioning rooms into separate enclosed spaces, ideal for small areas or those lacking natural light.
Straight staircases boast myriad advantages and design options today, rendering them not just functional but visually arresting. Simplest in construction, they typically cost far less depending on detailing. Their versatility makes them among the most popular, suitable for residences and public spaces alike. Another obvious boon is pragmatism – straight designs ease movement and transporting furniture/goods. With diverse possibilities, straight stairs unite form and function seamlessly. With the help of our team, a straight staircase will fit in beautifully into the design of your space.
Winder box stairs charm with unique form and compact design fitting where circular stairs can’t. Perfect for small spaces like cottages or auxiliary attic/basement access, their space-efficient style proves popular in compact, sustainable homes. At Royal Oak Railing & Stair, we ensure Building Code compliance for comfort and safety, installing high-quality railings with handrails in various materials to prevent falls while enhancing visuals. Our expert craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure reliable, beautiful winder box stairs tailored to your needs and space.
Design is the form of art that has a defined purpose and a rigorous form. But it can be transformed drastically when someone other than the artist brings some goal to it. The portfolio showcases our designer’s creative range.
