Floating Stairs For Remodeling

You’ve decided that now is the time to remodel your home. Maybe you’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time, or maybe you saw something that inspired you to make your home a little more you.

Either way, you’re trying to upgrade your home and you might be nervous about doing anything to the home’s existing stairway. It is called the “backbone of the home” after all. Plus, won’t a modern stairway like that be time-consuming to install?

You might be surprised to learn how easy it is to retrofit a stairway with Viewrail FLIGHT. Once the demolition is complete, the only site preparation you have to do is add blocking to the mounting locations of the header and footer plate attachments. There is no on-site welding or fabrication required, meaning you can keep the remodel neat and tidy.

This easy installation allows you to accomplish the installation in as little as one day! Watch the video below to see how a builder who had never installed a Viewrail FLIGHT before accomplished the entire install in less than 8 hours:

Opening Up Your Space

Viewrail FLIGHT lets you achieve an open-concept stairway, giving you extra room that you never thought you would have. You can use that space for storage or for decoration, like this customer in Maplewood, NJ did:

The possibilities are endless on what you can use the extra space for. And, even if you don’t think the extra space you’ll gain is very functional, you’ll be stunned by how open the rooms around it will feel. Just look at thisbefore & after below to see how big of a difference an open concept floating stairway makes.

Easily Installed

The best part, and what makes FLIGHT so perfect for remodelers, is that you don’t need any specialized skills to install your floating stairs. As mentioned, there is no welding or fabrication required on site. Your FLIGHT floating stair comes to you ready to install.

All that you’ll need to do on install is lift the stringer into position (a come-along winch or other pulley can be helpful here) and bolt it into position. Then, install the treads and railing with just a few simple tools. Check out the Floating Stairs Installation Guide to get a full picture of the installation. This easy install will save you time and money and ensure you can continue living in your home while the remodel is happening.

Whether you choose a clean, horizontal look like rod railing or cable railing, or you choose to go even more modern with glass railing, you’ll find the installation to be just as easy as the floating stair was. Simple tools and easy to follow instructions mean your project will be come together in just one or two days!
