Choosing your Loft Stairs
When designing loft stairs, it's important to consider whether you'll need a SpaceSaver or standard construction staircase in the space.
You can then go ahead and start planning the space and layout; adding turns, balustrade, feature steps and more before deciding on the best stair configuration for your space.
Start designing online or take a look at our measuring guide to get started.
View Measuring Guide- What is a SpaceSaver loft staircase?
- A SpaceSaver staircase, also known as a paddle flight, has alternating treads which means the stairs require far less going – or horizontal floor space - to get to the same rise compared to a normal flight. You can find out more about our SpaceSaver loft stairs here.
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of a SpaceSaver staircase?
- A SpaceSaver staircase requires less floorspace than a standard construction flight. However, SpaceSaver stairs have additional requirements within Building Regulations (as per Document K) which limit their use. Therefore, if you have sufficient space available to satisfy Building Regs, we would always recommend opting for a compact standard construction staircase as opposed to this kind of loft stairs.
- What materials are your SpaceSaver stairs available in?
- If using our online Loft Stairs Designer, our SpaceSaver stairs are made of pine with birch plywood treads and risers; posts are square with flat post caps, spindles are 41mm square and rails are Cheshire Pattern. However, if you would like a different spindle, glass balustrade or oak posts, please contact our team who will be able to provide a quote.
- Do your loft stairs come pre-painted?
- All of our stairs are sent out pre-sanded but unfinished, for you to apply an oil or paint colour of your own choice.
- Will you come to my home to measure for my new loft staircase?
- We offer an onsite measuring service, however there's a lot of information about measuring for your staircase on our website. You can then transfer the dimensions to our online Loft Stairs designer tool to create your design. Our team are also extremely skilled at offering assistance over the phone and will be able to help you find the required measurements.
- Where do you deliver to?
- We currently deliver to mainland UK only, however in the past we have shipped to ports for customers to then arrange their own onward shipping.
- How accurate are the sizes on the Loft Stairs Designer?
- All staircases are manufactured to the exact sizes shown on the Loft Stairs Designer, however as timber is a natural product it can swell slightly in different temperature and humidity conditions (usually around 5mm in the width). We always recommend leaving an additional 10mm surrounding your staircase for fitting purposes.
SpaceSaver stairs or paddle flights can provide an ideal solution when a standard construction staircase simply won't fit in your available space. Our Loft Stairs design tool makes ordering SpaceSaver stairs for your loft or attic conversion easy.
Simply enter your measurements and make your design choices from the options on the left hand side. The interactive staircase image will update with every choice you make, as will the price.
As standard, loft stairs ordered via the Loft Stairs Designer are made of pine with birch plywood treads and risers; posts are square with flat post caps, spindles are 41mm square and rails are Cheshire Pattern. However, if you would like a different spindle profile, glass balustrade or oak posts, please contact our team who will be able to provide a quote.
You can spread the cost of your loft stairs with our new "Pay In 3" service through PayPal, which gives you the ability to split your purchase into three interest-free payments.
