Loft Conversion Stairs

Stair installation for a loft conversion often requires a great deal of planning regarding the amount of space available, and can be designed to look the same style of the other staircase.

Staircase Style

Wherever the staircase will be installed in your home, it can help create a rhythm and pattern to the space. It can draw the eye and invite you to look up or walk up it, providing an architectural grace to a usually functional feature. You can express your tastes and personality throughout your home and there is no need to leave the stairs out. Create a strong presentation for visitors to your home with new newels, spindles and handrails, or with a bespoke Stair design unique to you and your property.

There are a variety of stair shapes and designs available, each offering a different appeal to invite you to climb them. It is generally the case that the wider the stairs and the more gentle the incline, the more inviting the staircase. Obviously however, wide staircases require plenty of floor space.

A new staircase is an innovative way to revamp your home. Create instant visual impact and thus a lasting impression on guests with a well made staircase chosen by you, not just as part of the original house. They need to be designed properly to add a touch of class to your house.

Winder stairs are similar to an L stair, although the landing space is instead extended steps, creating a pie-like visual as the corner is turned. Winder stairs are becoming for popular with new houses and especially loft conversions.

Curved stairs sweep grandly upwards in one direction in a generous circular curve.Spiral stairs spiral upwards with the staircase ascending vertically and tight curves in the spiral of the steps. There may be a straight centre pole from which the steps protrude, or the centre supports the spiral in a complementary curve. Spiral staircases are ideal for places where access is limited and where you wish to create design impact, although they may not be practical for heavy traffic and furniture moving.

Building Regulations

More imperative than the design is the requirement for staircases to be constructed safely. As well as general guidance for the practicality and safety issues surrounding different stair constructions, there are some stipulations by Building Regulations that must be followed. These are as follows:
