Loft stairs

If you’re looking for lights on your staircase you should consider our SYDNEY staircase as this can be purchased with the option to have lights built into the main stem of the stair. For other stairs you can add LED strips under each tread, it will also work nicely.

The main consideration for a slopped ceiling would be to ensure you have 1.9m clear height at the top of the staircase. This would be a standard requirement for a primary staircase but for a secondary staircase this is not a requirement, but we would advise you consider keeping as much headroom at the top of the stair so it’s easy to enter and exit the staircase.

It’s good to know there are no restrictions on the angle of a secondary staircase but important to remember the wider the incline the more comfortable the staircase.

Yes, our wooden loft stair has a untreated surface and can therefore be painted, varnished or stained. Make sure to use a strong paint for stairs then it will last. 

If children will be using the cabin, consider installing gates to prevent unsupervised access to the loft. Our metal stairs also offer Riser Bar kit, so you can close the gap between the treads.

The number of treads on a staircase depends on the floor-to-floor height. One thing to consider is that you can adjust the gap between the treads on our modular staircases. The narrower the gap, the more comfortable the staircase is to climb. We offer different tread options for different heights. A good example of how adaptable our staircases can be is our ATLANTA model. This staircase can be built up to a maximum height of 300 cm but can easily be adapted to lower heights by reducing the tread spacing or simply removing treads. You can view more information by visiting the download section of the product page. Our stairs for loft conversions come with several tread options to fit your needs.

We always recommend you check with your local building authority. There are two main descriptions for staircases, and these are primary and secondary. Please ask local building regulations for the requirements. Our stairs are secondary staircase for indoor private use.
