Floating Staircases Portland, Maine: Custom Steel Staircase Fabrication
In Portland, Maine, a custom steel staircase is more than a functional structure—it is the architectural centerpiece of a modern home or commercial space. At NRK Welding, we specialize in the meticulous design, fabrication, and installation of stunning custom steel staircases that make a bold statement. Our expertise in modern designs, including floating stairs and mono stringer styles, ensures a final product that is not only visually breathtaking but also engineered for uncompromising safety and durability. We collaborate with homeowners, architects, and designers to turn your vision into a reality, crafted with the highest level of precision and quality.
The Elegance of Floating Staircases
A floating staircase creates a dramatic visual effect, making a space feel larger, more open, and undeniably modern. Each tread appears to float, supported by a hidden structural beam. We are experts in fabricating these intricate structures to meet and exceed all Maine building codes. Our team ensures that while the design is light and airy, the craftsmanship is robust and secure, providing a safe and spectacular feature for your home or business.
Mono Stringer vs. Double Stringer Stairs
Understanding the structural differences is key to choosing the right staircase for your space.
- Mono Stringer Staircases: This design features a single, central steel beam running beneath the treads. It offers a clean, minimalist look that is both strong and visually appealing. We often recommend this style for modern or industrial-themed interiors.
- Double Stringer Staircases: This is a more traditional design with two parallel steel beams on either side of the treads. It provides a classic, robust look and is often used in larger or more traditional settings.
Both options offer incredible strength and are fully customizable in terms of materials, finishes, and handrail designs.
Our Meticulous Fabrication Process
Our process is built on precision and collaboration. From the initial design to the final weld, we manage every detail to ensure the highest quality.
- Conceptual Design: We start by discussing your vision, taking measurements, and reviewing architectural plans.
