Straight Stairs

Custom modern straight staircases designed exclusively for your home or office. Explore our single, double and side stringer style designs.

Single Stringer

Also known as mono or center stringer stairs, our most popular straight stair is the single stringer staircase. It’s composed of a triangular frame with one stringer going down the center. The single stringer is extremely rigid, yet modern with an elegant look.

Double Stringer

With stringers going down under the tread, set in from the edges, double stringers are both durable and affordable. They feature a modern railing system that blends well with cable rails or welded railing systems.

Side Stringer

The side stringer staircase, also known as the pan style staircase, features stringer channels along the outer perimeter of the treads. Like most of our staircases, they boast open risers with treads that are flanged down in the front and up in the back for reduced riser spacing. What’s great about this type of straight stair is that it can be built with nearly any type of handrail.
