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.
