The loft staircase: definition

A loft staircase, also known as a loft ladder, refers to the simplest staircase model in wood: it consists of 2 stringers, treads, and an optional handrail. Why is the loft staircase so simple? To carry flour up, the miller needed equipment that was minimal like a ladder yet comfortable like a staircase. Its incline is close to that of a ladder but real treads replace the rungs.

Loft ladder: the perfect compromise

Would you like to install a loft ladder to access an upper floor, a mezzanine, or a storage space? Our models are designed to be perfect compromises. They combine the incline of a ladder (for space saving) with a flight of real treads (for comfort and safety). You have the choice between straight, simple models (two stringers and straight treads) and quarter-turn models.

How do you choose your loft staircase?

Choose the easy-to-assemble Woodup kit loft staircase! The loft staircase installs easily in a small room. Loft staircases provide access to walkways or a mezzanine via a small hatch opening or direct access. Non-retractable, the loft ladder or staircase blends harmoniously with your interior décor. To choose your loft staircase wisely, follow the advice below.

Choose a staircase height greater than the floor-to-floor height

To make it easier to assemble your kit loft staircase, choose a height greater than that of your floor (floor to floor). Our loft staircases have adjustable treads. If you opt for a product whose height is too tight, its incline will be steep. The staircase will be less comfortable (climbing with a load in your arms will be more difficult).

Carefully assess the floor space available for your staircase

Plan ahead for the installation of your loft staircase. Loft ladders or loft staircases are a guaranteed space-saving solution. However, carefully measure the available length and width in the room. Woodup loft staircases have a small footprint (150 to 180 cm): nonetheless, allow for a run-out of 220 to 240 cm.

Take into account the intended use of the loft staircase

Carefully consider the type of treads required for your future staircase. Does the staircase serve a child's bedroom mezzanine? Fir treads are sufficient. Does the loft staircase provide access to a library? You will use it frequently with a load of books. A staircase with thick treads is essential.

Select a loft staircase to match your décor style

Does the loft staircase lead to a mezzanine, a child's bedroom, or a library? Find the ideal solid wood loft staircase. Loft ladders and staircases have open treads without risers: a guarantee of easy integration into any type of décor. With carefully chosen finishing products, the staircase creates an interesting contrast.

Loft staircase: almost indispensable in a small room

The loft staircase is a staircase without risers, suited to the smallest of spaces; its space-saving advantage allows it to be positioned wherever space is available in the room. It can be ideal for occasional use to access a loft or attic. The loft ladder is increasingly popular in most homes.

Standard loft staircase with variable width

Woodup offers a complete range, with or without a handrail in different widths, from the narrowest to the widest for comfortable use. The rail balustrade can be added to the wooden staircase separately, helping to secure ascent on a steep pitch. You will be surprised to see how a loft ladder transforms your interior and simplifies your life.

Loft staircase: available in different wood species

Our loft staircases are available in 4 wood species:

• Fir: the most economical solution for an indoor staircase;

• Douglas fir: for outdoor installation;

• Larch: for indoor/outdoor installation;

• Beech: a more upmarket loft staircase.

Opt for different wood species with the made-to-measure loft staircase if the available species do not suit you.

Discover the different loft staircase models quickly

The Woodup loft staircase is adjustable thanks to its metal pivot fittings. The Aulac, Fageole, and Fanlo allow installation adapted to your constraints and adjustable to your angle of inclination. Ideal as a supplementary staircase or as a mezzanine staircase, by adjusting the step height, length, and tread inclination, the possibilities are endless. It is also a space-saving staircase for small spaces. For slightly more intensive use, we recommend opting for thicker timber sections, such as the Fageole or Fanlo model.
