Understanding The Different Types Of Attic Stairs
When installing attic stairs and doors, you have a few different options, from pull-down attic stairs to telescoping attic stairs. When homeowners set out to install attic stairs, they often don’t realize the advantages of each type of attic stair. Some of the most common attic stairs include:
- Folding Attic Stairs – One of the most common set-ups, these stairs pull down from your attic opening and unfold in several sections until they reach the floor.
- Telescoping Attic Stairs – If you are dealing with a tight space, telescoping attic stairs may be your best option. They pull down like folding attic stairs, but the ladder section will extend down to the floor in sliding sections instead of folding at hinged segments.
- Scissor-Style Attic Stairs – One of the most advanced options, these stairs fold in an accordion fashion, which allows them to fit in a wide range of attic shapes and sizes.
