#Loft spiral staircases install
How easy is it to install a space-saving staircase?Īt Loft Centre, we are delighted to provide our customers with a vast range of space-saving staircases, as well as many folding loft ladder options for every type of space. The floor space dimensions where the space saving stair will be fixed is dependent on your floor to floor height, number of treads used and configuration of the stair. It is always best to make the ceiling opening larger if possible especially if moving furniture into the loft area. A space saving stair which incorporates a turn would need a slightly larger ceiling opening so you have enough headroom. This would cater for a straight flight space saving stair such as the Gamia Mini Space Saving Stair Kit. In terms of the ceiling opening for the loft you would need a minimum of 1400mm (length) x 650mm (width). How much space is typically needed for space saving stairs? An important factor is that you must ensure any local approvals have been obtained before making a purchase of a space saving stairs. The inclusion of a riser bar kit maybe necessary to adhere to the 100mm gap rule when progressing from one step to the next. Other key requirements are that the individual step rise needs to be a maximum of 220mm and the spacings between the upright balusters on the stair be no more than 100mm. When considering a space saving stairs for building regulations they can only be used to access a single habitable room.
Do Your Space Saving Stairs Comply With Building Regulations? We feature a wide range of space saving stairs that incorporate the alternating tread design. One of the most common types of space saving stairs is the alternating tread design also known as ‘paddle stairs’. Multiple configuration designs are possible with space saving stairs, you can opt for a traditional straight flight design or try to utilise your floor area with ‘L’ and ‘U’ shaped designs. A space saving staircase is generally designed to maximise floor space in your living area whilst giving you a permanent access to a new or existing loft room.
