Staircase

A loft staircase can be a challenge to fit into the landing space of some properties, but there are many design options we can discuss with you. It will normally require a minimum of 1.9 meters head room at the centre line of the stairs at a gradient of 42 degrees and a minimum width of 600mm, although something wider is preferable. Staircases are commonly constructed from timber in either pine or oak. Other options include glass, aluminium, and steel. Typically a wooden staircase will have 1 - 3 winders included to turn the path of the staircase. Running the new staircase above the existing staircase is a good use of space but alternatively it can run in one of the bedrooms if that is more suitable. In the event of a fire, a staircase must provide adequate means of escape that meets building regulations and provides a 30 minute protected route.
