If you are about to design and order a new staircase, but have doubts about dimensions, building codes, construction details, staircase prices, etc., here is a useful guide to avoid mistakes and choose the perfect staircase for your space.
Is a spiral staircase more expensive than a traditional staircase?
In some cases yes, in others no. We offer a variety of designs and sizes for both spiral and traditional stairs. The price depends on the width of the stairs, the height and the materials used, not the shape or design.
Are spiral stairs more dangerous than traditional stairs?
If spiral stairs are small in diameter, they can be uncomfortable to use and therefore more dangerous. They also tend to be steeper than traditional stairs. If the diameter of a spiral staircase is large (for example, 2,500 mm or more) they may even be safer than traditional stairs.
Can I install a spiral staircase myself or do I need a professional installer?
Installing a spiral staircase is complicated, requiring the right skills and time. It is much simpler to order a spiral staircase made to measure, which will be perfectly integrated into the existing space. All of our stairs are fully prefabricated in our workshop and are delivered to the site ready for installation. We offer professional installation, which is a guarantee of safety and high quality.
What are cantilevered or floating stairs?
A cantilevered or floating staircase has an invisible supporting structure and individual steps (stairs) extending from or attached to the supporting wall. The floating effect can be achieved in various ways.
There are various ways to achieve a floating staircase effect on a staircase.
Examples of floating staircase systems:
- A floating staircase with a hidden steel support element,
- A floating staircase with a visible wall stringer,
- Floating stairs with treads attached directly to the wall.
How much does a floating staircase cost?
The price range is wide, as floating stairs can be made of different materials. The choice of a cheaper floating staircase solution or a luxury cantilever staircase depends on the Investor. However, at Ske Design, we have various solutions to make a floating staircase within your budget.

What is a winding staircase?
A spiral staircase, sometimes also called a spiral staircase, is a set of steps characterized by a flight mounted around the axis of the staircase. A spiral staircase can also be free-standing as a centerpiece in an atrium or living room.
How much does a winding staircase cost?
As with floating stairs, the price depends on the size, design, materials and finish. If you'd like to know the price of a staircase to fit your space, contact Ske Design!
Are glass staircases safe?
Yes, glass staircases are safe. The glass used for steps and railings is laminated and tempered (hard) glass. Between the layers of glass is an invisible film that holds all the pieces of glass together in case the glass breaks.
Which type of staircase is best?
It depends on your needs. When choosing the best staircase for your home, you need to consider the following factors:
- available space,
- project,
- style and materials,
- available budget,
- building regulations,
- security.
What is the best material for grades?
The choice of materials for finishing stairs is huge. Wood, carpet, tiles, marble or glass are just some of the possible solutions. It all depends on your budget and the interior style you want to achieve.
What types of stairs do you make?
We can make spiral staircases, straight staircases, combination staircases (partially straight/partially spiral) with finishes of wood, glass, steel or a mixture of these materials, in any height and diameter. Our products are "tailor made" and each staircase is made according to the individual needs of the customer.
How are custom stairs designed?

Here are our tips.
