At Art Walker Stair Design, we specialize in crafting fully custom staircases that blend style and functionality. Serving
Charlotte and the surrounding areas, we are known for our expertise in creating
luxury staircases with
custom welded structures, offering three distinct stringer designs:
mono stringer,
double stringer, and
sandwich stringer.
Mono Stringer
Our standard mono stringer features a sturdy 6" square steel tube, providing a sleek, floating aesthetic.
Double Stringer
Built using 5" x 2" steel tubes, this design enhances stability while maintaining an open, modern feel.
Sandwich Stringer
For a bold statement, we construct sandwich stringer staircases using 12" x 2" steel tubes that enclose the treads, serving as both structure and decorative skirtboard.
We offer custom staircase layouts to suit various architectural needs, including:
Straight staircases for a clean, linear aesthetic.
90-degree staircases with a landing, ideal for corner transitions.
180-degree (scissor-back) staircases, perfect for compact spaces requiring a full turn.
Rather than producing standard 1" to 1.5" treads found in mass markets, we specialize in
thick butcher block treads designed for floating and open staircases. Unlike most manufacturers that provide half-inch increment options, we offer precise quarter-inch increments, ranging from
2 inches to 3.75 inches in thickness.
The maximum recommended thickness of
3.75 inches ensures compliance with IRC building codes.
If we design your staircase, we’ll guide you on the ideal tread thickness to meet both aesthetic and regulatory requirements.
We manufacture and ship treads based on your contractor’s specifications.
Our staircase designs are tailored using exact field measurements provided by your contractor. This ensures that each tread is crafted to the proper dimensions and thickness required for safety and durability.
Standard tread depth: 11 inches
Standard widths: 36", 42", and 46"
Custom sizes available upon request
We take pride in offering premium hardwood treads in White Oak, Red Oak, Maple, and Hickory. Additional wood species may be available, subject to supplier availability. As your project progresses, we will confirm all material options to ensure the perfect finish for your luxury staircase.
