Floating staircase -cost

Has anybody here installed a floating staircase ?
DO you know the price of it ?
Has anybody tried to install one themselves ?

BryanF

out of what?
is this a new house or are you retro-fitting?

re installation: if your asking these questions - in the manner you have asked:

then I would not recommend you install one yourself;)

have you mentioned this to your arch. there is structure and regulations to consider.. see here please note there are new stairs regs due shortly

If the price is prohibitive, i wont even be mentioning it to the architect.

Crikey!! I assume that includes the installation ?
I think i will be going the standard boring stairs.

That's a high end finish, get rid of the glass and the cost comes down a lot. Also a more traditional timber stairs with stringers either side would be a lot cheaper. Depends on what you're thinking of when you say floating stairs I suppose. The price I mentioned above could be for something completely different to what you have in mind. Any pics of what you're thinking of?

there are few different options if your doing a floating stairs, especially if your only building. the best otion i personally believe is to fit steel supports into blockwork on one side. have your threads machined to clamp round this. i think you need to put in the glass balustrating to give a better effect off the floating aspect however there are cheaer otions. 15k would be about right but you can vary a lot of the asects to ull this back to below 10k. straight flights are going to be less than anything with a turn or change in direction.

Does anyone have recommendations for installers of "floating stairs"?
I am talking to 2 companies at the moment, but would like to get a 3rd price.
I'm looking for someone to supply and fit a steel stairs with timber treads and glass balustrades, not just a steel fabricator.

Thanks,

We got one for less than €9,000.
One flight is cantilevered, the other flight isn't. Price included steel, timber, steel balustrade with timber handrail, landing, steps boxed with timber, etc.
Looks stunning.

Hi icbarros,

Could you send me a pm with details of who did that for you? We're looking at glass balustrades, so that will probably cost a bit more.

Thank,
Bb

I know what you mean, but the guy wanted no riser of any sort. He was paying so I did not moan
