DIY FLOATING STAIRS Install | Ep.11 Building Modern on a Budget

Рет қаралды 434,270

Күн бұрын

We are a husband and wife building a modern house by ourselves on a SUPER tight budget! In this episode, the two of us install a SUPER MODERN set of mono-stringer, steel, floating stairs. We ordered the FLIGHT stair system from Viewrail in a switchback configuration and frameless glass railing. The whole system was shipped to our house and we tackled the installation. I never thought we could install my DREAM STAIRS ourselves!
We also explain how much each step of building our modern house costs , where the money is coming from, and how much money we are saving by doing some of the work ourselves.

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzfaq.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

At the end of the build you should do a video talking about how much you’ve saved on companies sponsorships and how the ad revenue paid for a portion of the home ext. It’ll be a really cool video considering many channels don’t want to talk about the business side of KZfaq and how this series made you money towards the home.

I'm a home handyman, but I was able to work with a local welder and glass company. With research and some thought, and a lot of time and care. I built a glass railed, 2 steel stingers , over 10 foot ,switch back rise. All in $5800.00. Sourcing the hardware was easy, as our cabinet maker pointed me in the right direction. It took 5 guys to move the main glass wall-about 300lbs. It looks beautiful, but I wouldn't do it again.

Really like the look of floating stairs so had to watch this video. Used to stairs attached and cantilevered from the walls and then suspended from cables hanging from the ceiling on the other end. Your stairs look like they are semi-custom as they can use the brackets and other fittings over and over again. In the metal shops I have worked in, mass production techniques would have been used for these items. ( jigs, fixtures, robotic welders, or automatic welding machines that are custom made in the shop sometimes) The rest of the stairs are modified CAD drawings to meet your special needs with custom fabs. Its a great way to get a excellent product at a more affordable price. Good choice!

I am planning to do something similar in May, but I am shocked by your prices! Main beam - 7.4m 8mm thick costs approx £200, intelligent welder £250 per day (promised to complete the job in 2 days maximum), for esthetics, triangular steel supports goes for the laser cutting £300. Wood - have not decided yet, but probably ash, or poplar - that will be very expensive. And of course, a lot of the elbow grease to paint everything nicely + bits'n'bobs (bolts, varnish)... My total budget for the project is £5k, and I do not intend to even get close to that number.

For something that showed up in 47 boxes and a crate, it seemed very easy to install. And when I say easy I mean uncomplicated. Despite how hard it was to lift things in place. I wish I had a place in my house to put something like that.

Great Job, I am extremely happy with my DIY Viewrail install also. I Like your improvisation on the temp. handrail. Some tips for DIYers installing Viewrail. We had the mono stringer up for a while and no other place to get to the second floor on our small townhouse gut renovation. Use 2 x 12 temp treads with 2- 1/2 inch screws screwed down through the tread, through the holes in the stringer brackets into 3/4 plywood blocks. I had the top of the mono stringer bolted to the wood header and supported wood floor. No drywall up. I real carpenter happened to come see my project and he said I should put a piece of 3/4 plywood 1/2 inch smaller on all sides of the the header flange so i could slip my 5/8 drywall under the flange for a clean look. arrrgh. I unbolted the mono stringer, plugged the holes in the wood floor with dowels, installed the plywood spacer behind the header flange and reinstalled the mono stringer. It was worth it!

Pretty much what I expected when they started this series: 1 - they will get a ton of views cause this series is great and special 2 - building a house with a 200k subs KZfaq channel will cut down the cost significantly cause you can get a 20k stair flight for, well not technically free cause there is work involved but still Not judging or anything, I love this series and in my opinion you should leverage that hard work you put into building this channel and get all the sponsoring you can. It’s just not this „we build on a budget and so can you“-series because we have to pay for everything (again, not judging, I‘m happy for you).

Always check with your local municipality. Many regions have much tougher codes than "international" codes. 12mm monolithic tempered glass like they used would not pass final inspection in many areas. Still can be done but this system would require 16mm tempered laminated where I am from.

Paint it the same as the wall and stick, glue or magnets to put it over the top. As long as it goes from wall to edge it should look just like the wall and you’ll still be able to get to the bolts.
