VIEWRAIL MAKES FLOATING STAIRS ACCESSIBLE
“
W
e’ve democratized access to
contemporary design.” So says
Len Morris, Founder, Owner and
Product Visionary at Viewrail.
“Floating stairs used to be available
only to the very high end of the
market, but we’ve made it a practical product
for many more price points.”
How affordable are floating stairs? Viewrail
FLIGHT begins at just $8,000. That includes all
the required design and engineering to meet
most building codes, steel stringer, butcher-
block style thick wood treads, brackets, and
railing. “We’ve created a great deal of interest
in this product because floating stairs trans-
form a functional element into a design ele-
ment. And it’s priced to make it accessible to
the mid-market home buyer,” says Morris.
Viewrail can provide an initial drawing and a
quote in just a couple of days. Starting with a
few simple dimensions along with design and
style decisions, Viewrail staff designs and engi-
neers each stairway specifically for each instal-
lation. FLIGHT floating stairs can be part of the
initial home plans before any construction be-
gins, or can be introduced at the framing stage
and installed very late in the building process.
A Viewrail FLIGHT floating stairway is easy
and quick to install. And it’s a complete solution. The steel
stringer is lighter so it’s easier to handle on the job site. The
treads are pre-drilled to make attaching them to the bracketsviewrail.com
a breeze. A crew of three can install a system in
just a day or two. There is no need for on-site
steel fabrication and painting, no wood-work-
ing or finishing, and no glass or railing special-
ists are needed.

site, ready to unpack and install. Straight runs,
90-degree turns, and switchbacks are avail-
able. Railing options include cable, stainless
steel rod, and glass. Handrail options include matching or
