Common Questions
Exterior Palm Beach-Grade Floating Entryway Installation — FAQ
What materials are required for exterior floating stairs in Palm Beach?
We require marine-grade stainless steel (316L) for all hardware and connections, and specify either Ipe/Teak hardwood treads or UV-stable composite materials rated for HVHZ exposure. Standard mild steel or aluminum hardware is not appropriate for direct coastal exposure in Palm Beach County.
Do exterior floating stairs require additional wind load engineering in Palm Beach?
Yes. Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation applies to Palm Beach County, requiring wind load calculations per ASCE 7-22 Chapter 27 for attached structure components. We include wind load analysis and appropriate connection design in our standard exterior stair engineering package.
How often do exterior floating stairs in Palm Beach need maintenance?
Properly specified exterior floating stairs in Palm Beach require inspection and hardware re-torquing annually. Wood tread refinishing depends on species: Ipe can go 3–5 years between treatments, while softer species require more frequent attention. We provide a specific maintenance schedule with every exterior installation.
