We appreciate your efforts in writing such a detailed post on Loft Extension Stairs. When planning your loft conversion, considering the placement, and type of staircase is important. There are different types of stairs for the loft-like Bespoke Stairs and Pre-Made Stairs.above.
I like the different ladders ideas you wrote about, and how you talked about the benefits of each one depending on its usage. My husband and I are remodeling some areas of our new house, and want to have custom ladders for some areas of our house. I will make sure I let my husband know which stairs fit our needs the most so that we let the contractor know.
This is a very cool video that shows how the person created his pull down stairs from beginning to end
