Creating a stairwell for a loft conversion

There are several options for creating a stairwell in a loft. Choosing the best staircase can affect the overall design of the space. If the staircase is going to be located in an area that is rarely used, spiral stairs are a good option. Another option is to place a door at the foot of the staircase so that it is hidden from view. This option is a good option if you want to preserve the interior integrity of the loft.

The design of your staircase is an important part of your loft conversion, so it is essential that you have a clear plan for the stairway. You must also check the building regulations.
