Custom built Stira

If our Standard sizes won't suit your needs we can custom build a Stira to your specifications

Important

1.      The trapdoor opening length of an attic stairs is dictated by the ceiling height. Because the ladder of the attic stairs is divided into three sections when folded up the minimum trapdoor length will be roughly one third of the ceiling height. Making the trapdoor length longer is not a problem.

2.      All Heavy Duty and any Original attic stairs 10ft" or higher require an extra set of springs. This means these stairs need to be at least 24" wide, it is possible for us to make a stairs of this height at 22" but we must make the ladder narrower to accommodate the extra springs.

3.      Before ordering a custom build ensure it is not possible to enlarge your existing opening, this can often be easier and cheaper than ordering a custom built Stira especially on higher ceilings. Most openings can be enlarged.

4.      We recommend that the trapdoor opening you leave for the Stira be half an inch more than the Stira. i.e.: If you are ordering the standard 8foot Stira with trapdoor dimensions of 24" x 41" that you leave the opening in your ceiling at 24 and a half inches by 41 and a half inches.

5.      13 foot is the maximum ceiling height we build too.

 

Because of the height involved Stira over 10ft 6" can be difficult to operate. As you can see in the picture to the right even when unfolded the stairs will still be a considerable distance from the ground making it difficult to unfold the stairs. This would not be a problem with the Stira.Matic.
