How to model stairs opening between floors

Hello I am new to OS trying to model my future house (residential). I was wondering how to model the opening of the stairs between the floors. Reading relevant posts I came to conclusion that I need to mark the place of the opening in the floor/ceiling as air wall, but since the air wall zone mixture measure is not suitable for floors I am not sure how to proceed.

How severe would be the impact of not connecting the different floors?
