Cantilever staircases appear to float out from an adjacent wall with beautiful effect. Technically, the term ‘cantilever’ is somewhat of a misnomer in respect of these staircases. The stairs don’t actually cantilever at all, instead acting in much the same way as an arch.
Traditionally, the design of both curved and cantilever staircases has been somewhat restricted by engineering limitations. Here at Ian Knapper we have rewritten the rules on what is possible using solid natural stone with our bespoke cantilever staircases; creating visually arresting and elegant effects.
We work hard to create bespoke cantilever stone staircases that match their surroundings perfectly. By developing new techniques, we are able to produce cantilever staircases in shapes and sizes which were previously thought to be impossible.
We are perhaps most famous for creating truly bespoke solutions that blend perfectly within their context and exude personality. Ian can apply his extensive knowledge, expertise and experience to ensure that he creates tailored cantilever staircases for the individual customer and the unique setting of the finished staircase.
With access to a huge range of the world’s finest stone, we can help you to make the all-important decisions on which colour and stone-type to use for your cantilever stone staircase. We will then work with you closely through all stages of design for any of our stone staircases including 3D modelling.
