Y-STAIR • MULTI-WING SPLIT MONOSTRINGER
Y-Stair
Multi-wing floating stair that branches into two paths from a shared run
Y-Stair (Split Configuration)
Y-Stair Overview
The Y-stair is a multi-wing floating stair configuration designed to divide circulation into two distinct paths from a shared approach run. The split is resolved through a defined transition element—typically a landing or junction platform—where the load path and geometry branch into separate wings. This arrangement is often used to serve multiple destinations (e.g., left/right mezzanines or dual upper entries) while creating a strong architectural focal point. When properly engineered, the junction region provides controlled force transfer between the incoming run and the two outgoing runs, maintaining predictable stiffness and low deflection. The Y-stair supports a wide range of tread materials, finishes, and guard systems, allowing the branching geometry to remain visually clean while meeting the functional demands of multi-directional circulation.
