Space Saving Loft Staircases
What is a Space Saver Staircase?
A space saver staircase, also known as a compact staircase or alternating tread staircase, is designed to maximize functionality in small spaces. With its unique tread design, it allows you to ascend a flight of stairs in roughly half the distance of a standard staircase. These staircases are especially popular for loft conversions and areas where space is at a premium, offering an efficient and stylish solution for tight spaces.

Our space saver staircases are designed to conform to current UK Building Regulations for alternating tread staircases.
Not Sure if It Will Fit?
Our standard space saver staircases are designed with the 220mm minimum going size as required by Building Regulations. The rise height is then adjusted to suit your floor-to-floor measurement while keeping the riser height compliant with the standards outlined in Document K.
For example:
- A staircase with 12 risers will have a total going of 1352mm.
- We can customize the staircase to meet your specific needs, ensuring compliance and optimal functionality.
Well Opening Recommendations:
We recommend a typical well opening of 1500mm in length and at least the width of the staircase, depending on your chosen handrail design.
This 1500mm length is best determined once the staircase is in place to ensure a comfortable descent. Due to the steeper angle of a space saver staircase, the standard 2000mm headroom above the pitch line may not provide sufficient clearance when walking forward.
Be cautious of products that claim to require a smaller well opening, as they may be classified as "Fixed Ladders" rather than staircases.
