Spacesaver Stairs

Spacesaver or Space Saving Staircases are made with a variety of tread shapes – from paddle shape to triangular. This type of staircase, which is often proudly patented by the manufacturer, results in a much smaller footprint for the total staircase. The treads overlap each other which results in a staircase which takes up a little over half the space of a regular staircase. They are designed for access to a loft room or mezzanine floor, not as a main staircase. If you have any doubts about their use, please ask us or contact your local Building Control Officer.
