I was looking for two days looking for a company who could make or get me an 17 foot steal beam. And every company that was contacted could not fill the order for two or three Weeks. However, Commercial Staircase. A newly opened company Commercial Staircase took up the challenge and came through in just two days. They had the steal on Thursday, and delivered on Friday morning. And was on time at 9:30 am. His deliver guy was polite, respectful, and friendly. The most important thing, is his employees did a grate job. It allowed me to finish the job in just over two hours. And look forward in working together on other projects.Posted on Google

Yes. Floating stairs are fully legal as long as they meet local building codes such as IBC and OSHA. Proper tread depth, riser spacing, handrails, and load requirements must be followed to ensure compliance.
A floating staircase is a modern stair design where the treads appear to “float” without visible support. The structure is typically anchored to a hidden steel spine, wall stringer, or cantilevered system, creating a clean, open look.
No. When engineered and installed correctly, floating stairs are just as safe as traditional stairs. The key is proper structural support, secure mounting, and code-compliant handrails.
Generally, yes—depending on the dog and the stair design. Adding closed risers, textured treads, and side panels improves traction and reduces visibility gaps that may make some pets hesitant.
