How Much Do Viewrail's Spiral Staircases Cost

Diameter Rotation Height LED Integration Wood Species Price
6' 270° 8' no White Oak $15-16K
8' 360° 8' yes White Oak $20-21K
6' 270° 10' yes Walnut $22.5-23.5K
8' 360° 10' yes BrazillianCherry $25-26K
*Estimate as of November, 2024

When it comes to budgeting for your spiral staircase, there are a few things that make the biggest impact on your final price tag.

First of all, you’ll need to consider the height and diameter of your system – these sizing components determine the amount of materials and labor required to complete and install your system.

You’ll also need to decide whether your system will turn a full 360º. Some systems only turn 270º, which requires fewer materials and less labor and ultimately brings the price down.

Lastly, your materials and finishes will have the biggest impact on your total system cost, so keep that in mind as you are picking out your wood species for your treads and handrail, or the type of infill you’d like around the circumference of the system. Naturally, exotic wood treads and 2205 stainless steel infill will cost more than a standard white oak tread with 304 stainless steel.

The Value of Viewrail FLIGHT

We Do It All

The Viewrail Difference

Sourcing high-quality lumber for treads. Contracting a metal fabricator to weld a steel stringer on-site. Hiring a glazier to cut and install a glass railing. Coordinating the timeline and budget for each tradesperson independently. These steps and more have been a standard part of installing custom, high-end floating stairs in a home for years.

That is, until Viewrail made it a seamless experience, all while keeping things custom.

With Viewrail, the value isn’t just in high-end stairs and railing, it’s in being a single source for the design, engineering, manufacturing, and delivery of those stairs and railing. Everything is made right here in America, and shipped directly to your door. 

With best-in-class visual installation instructions and the components pre-fabricated, floating stairs from Viewrail can be installed by a first-time contractor or a small crew, on an installation timeline measured in days, not weeks.

The 3% Rule

How Much Value Your Stairs Add

A general rule of thumb for stair costs is that Viewrail floating stairs tend to account for around 3% of a home’s market value. For example, in a $10 million home, which prioritizes stairs and railing as a central design feature, the stair and railing system may be valued at approximately $300K. For a $1 million home, more like $30K.

This guideline isn’t a hard and fast rule, and every build or remodel is unique. A central staircase that will help define the look of a home may be valued differently than a stair to the basement. Over the years, however, we’ve found it to be a helpful starting point for budgeting, as you can compare the cost to the potential value of what you’re buying.
