How long does a typical custom stair installation take?

Manufacturing and fabrication take approximately 3 to 5 weeks. Once completed, our white-glove team installs most residential staircases on-site within 1 to 3 business days.

Question 2

Do custom floating and mono-stringer stairs comply with the Ontario Building Code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our designs adhere strictly to OBC Part 9 regulations, including 900 mm guardrail height requirements, 100 mm child-safety sphere spacing, and P.Eng stamped structural calculations.

Question 3

Can I replace traditional wood spindles with modern glass railings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We specialize in glass railing retrofits using 12 mm clear tempered safety glass anchored with stainless steel standoff pins or base shoe channels.

Accepted Answer

We craft treads from premium solid hardwoods—including White Oak, Walnut, and Maple—finished with commercial-grade polyurethane and optional anti-slip grooves.

Question 5

What structural preparations are required before installing floating stairs?

Floating staircases require internal structural steel backing embedded into load-bearing wall studs. We provide complete structural drawings and coordinate directly with your builder.
