Cantilever Stone
Staircases
Stone that appears weightless; each tread is simply embedded into a wall on one edge, the other free edge more slender than any other type of staircase, in any material.
Service Details
Experienced in producing the finest cantilevered stone staircases.
A cantilevered stone staircase represents the perfect intersection of traditional masonry and modern structural engineering. By utilising the natural compressive strength of stone, we create elegant, gravity-defying flights that offer a level of slenderness and permanence impossible to achieve with other materials.
Only solid stone staircases are both the primary structure as well as the architectural finish (with no other cladding or decorative elements). They are also more slender than any other material option.
Material Selection
Choosing the Right Stone
Stone selection is paramount. Not just strength and wear resistance, but also block size availability and finishes treatments, not to mention budget. We provide all options and guidance for success.
The stone selection and finish has more to it than a basic choice: we provide expertise on testing requirements, variability & shell content, slip resistance, and how the stone responds to arris and balustrade insert details. Many options are possible, each with their own merits.
We have strong and direct relationships with many quarries, and we also work closely with selected stone buyers, to obtain the best quality raw stone blocks at the best possible prices. The best 'ingredients' make for the best project results.
Technical Delivery
From Design to Installation
Each staircase project is developed and fully modelled in 3D. As part of our service we take on the full structural design responsibility. Furthermore we coordinate and integrate each touch point where the stair is supported onto the buildings core structure.
We advise on vital arrangements and details such as building control compliance, tread sectional shape options, tread nosings, handrail interfaces, soffit details, landing edgings, landing connections, finishes and so much more.
From conceptual sketch to final delivery — our service includes our advice and knowledge regarding buildability, site logistics, and particularly lifting arrangements. From engaging with us to deliver this, you can be sure that the project will run smoothly.
We're experienced in producing the finest cantilevered stone staircases.
From initial structural calculations to the final hand-rubbed finish, we provide the specialist support needed to deliver a flawless cantilevered staircase. Contact us to discuss your project requirements or to visit our workshops and see our production process firsthand.
