Modern arrangement of private houses involves the use of the most compact and mechanized household items for the possibility of saving space. It fully applies to the arrangement of the rise in the attic. And instead of bulky stairs, manufacturers offer various variations of folding models.
Advantages of folding attic stairs
Folding stairs for sorting to the attic is much more convenient than stationary models and ladders, since the former clutter up space, and the latter are not safe due to low stability.
Folding attic stairs are compact and safe, they save precious centimeters in the room, especially since not so often we have to climb the attic in order to sacrifice space for this.
In addition, such stairs significantly reduce the risk of injury in the house of young children and their penetration into the attic in the absence of adults.
Types of attic folding stairs
All folding attic stairs vary in the manufacturing material on wooden and metal and by the method of laying on folding and sliding.
Sliding stairs consist of 2 or 3 sections, which are pushed through the guides of their other name-telescopic.
Folding wooden attic stairs consist of 3-4 sections that fit on each other, forming a compact structure. The highest section of such a staircase is attached to the hatch cover from its upper side and in folded form is completely not visible. When the hatch is opened, a gradual laying of the stairs occurs using a special rod.
Metal folding attic stairs, as a rule, have a mechanism for folding the “accordion” type. They also hide behind the attic hatch cover and are endowed with a reliable mechanism that eliminates spontaneous folding and laying the stairs.
There is also a type of retractable stairs that move into the attic space. And in this case, the place for them should always be free from various objects.
All types of folding, sliding and retractable attic stairs are produced with an insulated hatch. A staircase is attached to its lid, and you just have to fix the hatch in the right place in the ceiling and start using the structure. Depending on the configuration of the stairs by handrails, its heights and the number of sections, as well as the material of manufacture, its cost may vary.
