Choosing your suspended staircase and anticipating the visual impact it will have on your interior is a key step in any renovation project. The staircase is often a central element of the living space, and its design plays an integral part in the overall ambience of the home.
Among our various models, one in particular catches our customers’ attention: the Canva suspended staircase, a true JOA bestseller. Its airy, contemporary design makes it an essential part of any interior design project. But what makes this staircase unique?
A custom-made, adaptable suspended staircase
One of the main advantages of the Canva suspended staircase is its flexibility. Available as straight, quarter-turn or double-quarter-turn staircases, it can be adapted to numerous configurations.
With over ten years’ experience, we know that no two suspended staircases are alike. Every interior, every opening and every architectural constraint calls for a unique design. That’s why all our suspended staircases are made-to-measure, to fit perfectly into your space.
Prior to any design, our team carries out a personalized feasibility study, taking into account the structure of the load-bearing walls, the size of the hopper and any architectural constraints. This preparatory work enables us to define the structural requirements and guarantee the safety of the suspended staircase.
The structure of the Canva suspended staircase
TheCanva suspended staircase is based on an ingenious steel structure. A main plate, attached to the hopper or to a custom-designed joist, supports the entire structure.
The treads, meanwhile, are attached to the wall by a discreet stringer. This design completely frees up the space beneath the staircase, allowing maximum light to pass through.
A true visual signature, Canva perforated sheet metal plays a dual role:
- It secures the suspended staircase by closing the top section.
- It sublimates light, projecting a graphic play of shadows onto your walls.
A safe and attractive suspended staircase
The Canva suspended staircase also meets a growing need: combining airy design and safety.
While a staircase without railings is visually very light, it can be intimidating for some users. Our customers, whether young parents or senior citizens, are often looking for a reassuring suspended staircase, offering extra support and protection.
With Canva sheet metal and the option of adding a handrail, we offer the perfect balance between elegance and ease of use.
Secure an existing staircase with Canva
Our expertise is not limited to the design of new staircases. In some cases, it’s possible to make an existing staircase more secure by integrating Canva sheet metal.
After a technical inspection of the hopper and treads, our teams can create a made-to-measure sheet metal covering for the existing staircase, providing both safety and contemporary design without having to start from scratch.
Design in the service of light
The Canva suspended staircase is distinguished by its openwork sheet metal with an organic pattern. Beyond its structural role, it creates a magnificent play of light throughout the day.
Each sheet can be customized: more or less dense, graphic or pure, to fit perfectly with your interior style. Your suspended staircase becomes a sculptural piece, both functional and artistic.
Optimize the space under your suspended staircase
Finally, the Canva suspended staircase offers a major advantage: it makes the most of the space beneath the stairs. Thanks to its riserless design, it completely frees up the volume below, which can be transformed into a practical and aesthetically pleasing space.
This space can accommodate various types of custom-made furniture, perfectly integrated into your interior:
- a discreet desk to create a teleworking or reading area;
- an elegant TV stand, ideal for a modern living room;
- a sideboard or closed storage unit, to optimize space without overloading the room;
- even a relaxation area, with built-in bench and hidden storage.
Our designers can even extend the staircase’s perforated sheeting to cover the furniture, creating a harmonious, stylish and functional whole that becomes a true continuity of the staircase. This solution is ideal for contemporary interiors, where every square meter is designed to be both useful and aesthetically pleasing.
By combining visual lightness, practicality and personalization, the Canva suspended staircase doesn’t just connect two floors: it becomes a functional asset, capable of completely transforming your living space.
Our designers can even integrate a technical room, toilet or access to another space. The possibilities are endless. Come and meet our designers in our showroom to discuss your project.
