Zakuna’s Central String Staircases are among our most sought-after designs, combining a clean, floating aesthetic with the structural integrity and precision engineering for which we are renowned.
The central string is a single spine running beneath the treads, which creates a striking visual impression of space and lightness, making it a popular choice for open-plan homes and contemporary interiors where design impact is paramount.
Designed with a steel or timber central string, Central String Staircases can be finished in a wide range of colours and textures to complement any architectural scheme. Each design is fully bespoke, with treads available in timber, glass, or solid surface materials, and balustrades available in glass, with spindles or railings, and a range of contemporary options. Our team works closely with architects and designers from the outset and can provide detailed drawings, structural calculations, and materials advice to support the specification process.
Central String Staircases are as practical as they are beautiful. The single spine design allows for excellent spatial flow beneath and around the staircase, making it particularly well-suited to open-plan layouts and properties where maximising light and visual space is a priority. Expertly designed with minimalist construction, all Zakuna Central String Staircases are engineered to the highest structural standards and comply fully with UK building regulations. We offer a complete service from initial design consultation through to delivery and installation, with our installation teams ensuring a seamless process wherever your project is located.
