The floating step in natural stone is today a benchmark for creating a floating staircase that is modern, elegant and durable.

Depending on your project, the color, thickness, width and finish will let you fully customize your staircase while ensuring excellent durability.

Before installation, it is important to define the width, depth, thickness and number of steps required. Careful preparation guarantees perfect stability and excellent longevity of the structure.
