Space Saving Staircases

Space Saving Staircases otherwise known as Space Saver Staircases or Ships Ladders or the new official description as Alternating Tread Staircas

Space Saving Staircases take around half the space to rise as conventional staircases.

Space Saving Staircases are suitable for loft conversions where you don’t have the space for a conventional staircase.

Technically a Space Saving Staircase is known as a alternating tread staircase.

For Building Regulations a Space Saver staircase can only be used for access to a single bedroom this room can have a WC but this bust not be the only WC in the property.

Another requirement for Building Regulations is that each step requires anti-slip for safety.

You also need to have handrails to both sides of the stairs
