Precision-fabricated. Installed in a day.
Six structural beam configurations. One fabrication standard.
Every ARC system ships laser-cut from our fabrication shop with the same engineering backbone — the beam configuration changes the geometry, not the build quality.
Single-spine beam runs center-line beneath treads. The foundation of every cantilevered system — clean, proven, and adaptable to any tread material.
L-section beam profile with concealed tread connections. Sharp edge geometry suits modern and transitional interiors where structure stays visible.
Slimmer beam cross-section, fewer connection points visible. For spaces where the tread dominates and the structure disappears.
Flush-welded connections throughout. No exposed fasteners, no visible bolt heads from any angle — the cleanest finish we produce.
Vertical spine configuration for taller floor-to-floor runs. Maximum structural depth where ceiling clearance allows a bold statement.
Alternating angular geometry — each tread offset from the last. The most architecturally disruptive configuration we build.
Laser-cut steel. Not HSS tubing cut with a grinder.
Most stair fabricators work with HSS tubing — hollow structural sections cut with a thermal torch or angle grinder on whatever surface is available. That process leaves burnt edges, grinding marks, and weld seams that require cleanup. It's standard in the industry because it's fast and cheap.
Our shop runs CNC laser cutting on all structural steel. Tolerances held to fractions of a millimeter. Clean factory edges with no surface heat damage. Every connection geometry is machined to spec before a single tread is mounted — nothing is hand-fitted on site.

Wood Tread Selection
Walnut, white oak, ash, and hickory tread options acclimated to NYC's humidity and seasonal swings — species selection, finishing, and structural thickness for your laser-cut steel floating stair system.
The structure is laser-cut steel. What you choose is the wood. We carry walnut, white oak, ash, and hickory and acclimate every tread to your home's actual indoor conditions before installation.
Best for: Warm residential interiors where natural materials and finish quality matter most.
Laser-Cut Steel Structure
Every floating stair we build uses a laser-cut steel structure fabricated in our shop — no on-site welding, no apparent welds, delivered ready to install in New York City homes and co-ops.
No grinding on site. No welding on site. No paint on site. Our steel structures are precision laser-cut to your field measurements and arrive with factory-applied powder coat finish. One-day installation, no disruption.
Best for: Lofts and commercial spaces that require high load capacity with a bold architectural look.
Integrated LED Lighting Systems
Low-profile stair lighting integrated into treads, rails, and support details for NYC residential and commercial interiors.
Low-profile tread, rail, and stringer lighting planned during fabrication so the finished stair reads cleanly at night without obvious retrofit hardware.
Best for: Clients who want safer nighttime navigation and premium architectural ambiance.
Custom Glass Balustrade Rail Systems
Frameless and low-profile glass railing systems that preserve the open feel of floating stairs in NYC interiors.

Materials our floating stair contractors specify for New York Metro
What property owners in New York say.
"The AR walkthrough locked in our Tribeca loft design before a single cut was made. The cantilevered steel stair is the statement piece of our renovation. Every architect friend we have asks who built it."
"I was paranoid about structural integrity. These engineers explained every load calculation. Knowing my staircase is built for strict local building code requirements is worth every dollar."
"The on-time guarantee was in the contract and they honored it. One week early, partial refund processed without us asking. In 15 years of NYC renovations, that is genuinely unprecedented."
