Precision-fabricated. Installed in a day.

Classic ARC
ZigZag ARC
Tower ARC
Seamless ARC

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.

Classic ARC floating stair beam configuration in Jacksonville
Classic ARC

Single-spine beam runs center-line beneath treads. The foundation of every cantilevered system — clean, proven, and adaptable to any tread material.

Angle ARC floating stair beam configuration in Jacksonville
Angle ARC

L-section beam profile with concealed tread connections. Sharp edge geometry suits modern and transitional interiors where structure stays visible.

Minimalistic ARC floating stair beam configuration in Jacksonville
Minimalistic ARC

Slimmer beam cross-section, fewer connection points visible. For spaces where the tread dominates and the structure disappears.

Seamless ARC floating stair beam configuration in Jacksonville
Seamless ARC

Flush-welded connections throughout. No exposed fasteners, no visible bolt heads from any angle — the cleanest finish we produce.

Tower ARC floating stair beam configuration in Jacksonville
Tower ARC

Vertical spine configuration for taller floor-to-floor runs. Maximum structural depth where ceiling clearance allows a bold statement.

ZigZag ARC floating stair beam configuration in Jacksonville
ZigZag ARC

Alternating angular geometry — each tread offset from the last. The most architecturally disruptive configuration we build.

Laser-cut steel vs HSS tubing comparison for floating stair beam fabrication

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.

No grinding in your home
All surface finishing completed in our fabrication shop. Components arrive ready — no sparks, no dust, no fumes.
Every joint matches because it was cut to match
Laser-cut connection geometry means field fit is a bolt-up, not a grind-and-pray. Weld lines stay clean.
One-day installation
No on-site cutting, no on-site welding. Components anchor and align in hours because the tolerances were right from the start.

Wood Tread Selection

Walnut, white oak, ash, and hickory tread options acclimated to Jacksonville's humidity and salt air — 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 Jacksonville homes.

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-voltage LED lighting routed through stringers or embedded in tread edges. Motion-activated and smart-home compatible.

Stair lighting done right is invisible until you need it. We route low-voltage LED strips through hollow stringers or cast them into tread edges so the light appears architectural, not afterthought.

Best for: Clients who want safer nighttime navigation and premium architectural ambiance.

What property owners in Jacksonville say.

"The 3D walkthrough locked in the design before a single cut was made. The staircase is the centerpiece of our Ponte Vedra Beach renovation — every visitor asks about it within five minutes."

Brian & Sasha W.
Ponte Vedra Beach — custom walnut floating stair

"I had real concerns about structural safety. Their engineers walked me through every load calculation. Knowing it's built to Florida Building Code and properly permitted gave me confidence no other contractor offered."

Margaret T.
San Marco — code-rated glass tread system

"The on-time guarantee wasn't marketing copy. They finished two days ahead of schedule and we got money back. I've done a lot of renovations in Jacksonville — that has never happened before."
