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.
Floating stair services built around your project goals
Custom Floating & Cantilever Stairs
Engineered floating and cantilever stair systems built for Jacksonville homes and Northeast Florida coastal conditions.
We design and install floating and cantilever staircases from concept through permit closeout — engineered in-house, fabricated to field measurements, and built to last in Florida's humidity and salt air.
Best for: New builds and full interior remodels that need a signature staircase.
Glass Tread Cantilevered Systems
Tempered laminated glass treads for open, light-filled interiors. Code-rated and engineered for Northeast Florida residential use.
12mm tempered laminated glass treads bring light into split-level and two-story spaces without the visual weight of wood or steel. Every panel is rated, tested, and anchored to your specific structural conditions.
Best for: Contemporary interiors that need maximum light flow and open sightlines.
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.
Custom Glass Balustrade Rail Systems
Frameless and semi-frameless glass balustrade systems that protect without blocking the view through your floating staircase.
Tempered glass panels mounted with point-fixed hardware or channel base keep the visual openness of your floating stair intact. Every panel is sized, cut, and installed to your specific geometry.
Best for: Open-concept homes that want code-compliant fall protection without visual bulk.

How our floating stair contractors deliver projects
Every staircase follows our engineering-first protocol — the same rigorous workflow whether the project costs $40,000 or $400,000.
Measurement
We gather your stair preferences and take precise dimensions of your home — floor heights, wall conditions, and access points — before any design begins.
Design
Our designers provide detailed 3D renderings so you can see exactly how your staircase will look within the space before anything is fabricated.
Client Review
We walk through the renderings with you and confirm all final details, materials, and specifications. No fabrication begins without your sign-off.
Manufacturing
Stairs are precision-manufactured in our controlled shop environment 6–8 weeks upon receipt of approved final drawings. All welding completed off-site.
Delivery
Completed stair components are delivered directly to your home or construction site, ready for installation.
Installation
Simple one-day installation with no welding on site. Our team anchors, aligns, and completes the stair system with minimal disruption to your home.
Materials our floating stair contractors specify for Northeast Florida
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."
"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."
"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."
