Cantileverstaircase.
Treads fixed into a structural wall with no visible string – the purest floating look.
Floating / cantilever staircase
A cantilever staircase has no visible string: each tread is fixed into a structural wall, so the steps appear to float. On the open side, a frameless glass balustrade bolts through to the tread ends, finished with stainless button fixings or oak end caps that make the tread appear to pass through the glass.

Cut string
The string is cut to the step profile, with the tread ends overhanging it.

Inboard string
Strings set in from the tread ends, so the oak appears to float past the steel.

A stepped steel string the same depth as the treads, wrapping each step.
