What is a Metal Stringer Staircase?

A metal stringer staircase is characterized by the use of metal beams—called stringers—that support each step. These stringers can be arranged in various configurations, providing both structural support and aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional staircases, which often hide structural elements, stringer staircases embrace an open, modern design that enhances visual interest. They can be installed indoors or outdoors and are ideal for settings where both style and durability are essential.

In this guide, we’ll explore the types of metal stringer staircases we offer and help you decide which option best suits your needs.

Types of Metal Stringer Staircases

At Victoria Stairs, we specialize in the fabrication of several types of metal stringer staircases, each with unique structural and aesthetic benefits. Let’s dive into the different styles available:

1. Mono-Stringer Staircases

Mono-stringer staircases are designed with a single, central stringer that runs beneath the treads, creating an elegant, floating effect. This style is particularly popular in modern residential and commercial spaces for its minimalistic look and structural integrity.

• Applications: Ideal for residential homes, offices, and showrooms where an open and airy feel is desired.
• Benefits: Offers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that creates the illusion of floating steps. The single stringer provides robust support without overpowering the overall design.
• Materials: Typically constructed from heavy-duty steel or stainless steel for long-lasting durability.
• Customization Options: Mono-stringer staircases can be customized with various tread materials, such as wood, glass, or metal, to suit the client’s design preferences.

2. Dual-Stringer Staircases

Dual-stringer staircases feature two parallel metal beams, one on each side of the treads, providing excellent stability and load-bearing capacity. This style balances elegance with a more traditional staircase appearance.

• Applications: Suitable for high-traffic areas such as commercial offices, industrial facilities, and residential settings where additional support is required.
• Benefits: Provides added stability, making it ideal for locations that require strong, reliable support. Dual-stringer staircases have a more symmetrical appearance than mono-stringers, making them suitable for traditional or contemporary designs.
• Materials: Available in powder-coated or galvanized steel to withstand heavy use, particularly in commercial and industrial applications.
• Customization Options: Dual-stringer staircases can be fitted with various railing styles, tread materials, and finishes to match the surrounding architecture.

3. Zig-Zag Stringer Staircases

Zig-zag stringer staircases have an angled or jagged look to the stringers, creating a distinct, dynamic appearance. Often used as a focal point, this design element transforms the staircase into a work of art.

• Applications: Perfect for luxury residential spaces, commercial lobbies, and retail environments where aesthetics are a priority.
• Benefits: The zig-zag design provides a striking visual element while retaining functionality. It’s an ideal choice for spaces where the staircase will be a central feature.
• Materials: Crafted from high-grade steel or stainless steel, with various finishes to match modern or industrial designs.
• Customization Options: Zig-zag stringer staircases can be customized with contrasting treads and risers, adding a unique style that enhances the staircase's visual appeal.

4. Cantilevered (Floating) Stringer Staircases

Cantilevered, or floating stringer staircases, are designed to have one side anchored into the wall, giving the impression that the steps are suspended in mid-air. This style is a marvel of engineering and is perfect for spaces where a minimalistic, open look is desired.

• Applications: Ideal for modern residential homes, luxury condos, and upscale commercial spaces where a light, airy aesthetic is desired.
• Benefits: Offers a completely open look on one side, maximizing space and creating an unobstructed view. Cantilevered stringers are highly customizable, allowing for unique design elements.
• Materials: Often constructed from steel or stainless steel with hidden supports, giving the staircase a clean, seamless look.
• Customization Options: This style works well with glass or open railings to enhance the "floating" effect, and can be paired with wood, stone, or glass treads.

5. Open-Riser Stringer Staircases

Open-riser stringer staircases are characterized by the lack of risers between the treads, allowing light to pass through and creating an open, contemporary look. This design is perfect for enhancing natural light flow in a space.

• Applications: Suitable for residential spaces, open-concept commercial properties, and modern industrial spaces.
• Benefits: Creates a sense of openness and is highly compatible with modern architecture. Open-riser designs are particularly popular for their ability to make spaces appear larger.
• Materials: Constructed from steel with various finish options, including powder coating for outdoor durability.
• Customization Options: These staircases can be tailored with diverse tread materials and railing types, offering flexibility to suit any interior or exterior aesthetic.
