Our stairs are made from square M.D.F and can be made from waterproof treated M.D.F on request for basements. Stair widths are standard 750mm or 950mm from center post to walls to meet UK building regulations. (Stating 600mm between handrail and center post) Our stairs are made at our own leading edge technology workshop and are flat packed for easy transport, access and quick site assembly. Most of our stairs can be fitted within just a day. Our stairs are perfect for replacing space saver or pedal steps or even a simple loft ladder to give a much better appeal.
