If the room is tiny and does not allow to place a large interior, then you fit folding ladder.

Its better to clean the attic hatch cover, and remember it as needed, especially if the attic stores various unnecessary things.It develops and is expanded simply and without fanfare.

But if you use this ladder permanently and decide to equip the attic for living room that is wiser to make a fixed ladder.

It is unlikely to want to move up and down the stairs a million times a day.

But the most popular are traditional.Stairs to the attic creates a straight line, without rounding, with large steps.

project is exceptionally convenience, but it takes much more space.This plan - the best option for the home if the children will be there.

The main components of the stairs

ladder to the loft project requires many parts and materials.A comfortable ascent to the attic provides direct construction on kosour.They are wooden supports.

stringers hold step, so sawn in the form of teeth.The thickness of these boards is 5 centimeters or more, 25 cm - their width.

to manufacture ladders missing two stringers.Another bar is required in the event that a product with an outstanding wide -. More than one meter and 20 cm

Stairs to the attic

To properly arrange the stringers, make measurements, pulling from the floor to the attic space of the future rope ladder.

then calculated the number of steps, just by changing the slope.The resulting angle should be noted on the board and cut according to the markings.

top boards leave outgrowth height and width of 5 cm and 10 cm respectively.It is necessary to fix the piping in the attic hatch.

Under outgrowth create the hole.A board tray to the wall and cause a dash through the level to the suitable number of stages.Then sawing serrated edge.

Since the end portion of the board saw off a length and a width of 50 mm.In this place will beam to attach well to the floor.

Another necessary component -. Level thickness ranging from 2.5 to 5 cm larger the space between the two beams, the stronger do tread.

If you ignore this elementary requirement level will fall.

Each of them is made with a small ledge in the 20-40 mm, hanging over the bottom tread.Edges of projections processed a plane for rounding to wood is not peeled off when walking.

between small steps pave the board.It risers, which are arranged vertically.

They will hardly feel the weight of the person, so they can be made of plywood centimeter thick.The complete absence of risers stairs give visual smoothness and lightness.

dimensions and key moments

ladder project requires to determine the size correctly.Leading figure in the device stairs - angle.

narrow angle less than 20 degrees will make the ladder like a gentle slope surface.If the angle is more than 50 degrees, then down the steps you will have to go down, at the risk of falling.

best values ​​are between 30 and 38 degrees.

Dimensions of steps and risers are directly dependent on the angle of inclination.What he has, the wider step, and vice versa.

essential criteria:

  1. 12-20 cm - height of the stage;
  2. 30-38 cm - tread depth;
  3. 80-100 cm - the width of the span;
  4. 5-15 stages (odd number);
  5. 60-80 cm - the width of the stairs;
  6. 18-25 cm - the height of the riser;
  7. 1 meter - the average height of the railing.

calculation of the stairs

device hatch and ladder

Luke do before installing stairs.The floor using saws create an opening.Hurry this is not necessary, so as not to be injured.

After dismantling the floor is removed the insulation located between the ceiling of the ground floor and the floor covering.After eliminating overlapping elements in the site of the future location of the stairs.

In the manufacture of manhole into account that it must be in the form of a rectangle.

Mounting ladder depends on the construction material.

All kinds of staircases made of concrete or stone, need to strengthen the ceiling of the first floor and the installation of metal profiles.But this ladder is too cumbersome.

Since easier and more quickly build a ladder to the attic light wood and / or metal, in the thick bar will act as the holder.

then set the base ladder, which fixes cooked bar.He is joined by stringers, fixing them with screws.

spikes inserted into the holes made, smeared with glue.To consolidate the structure metal corners are taken, and the beam is bolted to the wall.

Steps mounted, since Invitational.It is fixed in a horizontal position with screws, wooden plugs that mask and smeared with glue.

Then comes the installation of risers.They are bolted to the wrong side of the ladder.

After the above steps staircase to the attic with his own hands made.When the width of more than 120 cm, you can do without railings.Otherwise, the cost to make the rack, connecting them to the carrier board.

Classical railing height - 90 cm. After the construction of the stairs check whether all the dimensions correspond to the desired project.

If steps platform made of metal, and they are wood, then after installation they are impregnated with a special compound against damage and varnish.

Wooden tread not necessarily something else to decorate.room design will be modest, but not flashy.

Storage useful things

creating a special design in the house, think about the beneficial use of the entire space.Creative project is presented in the photo.

Where is attic staircase, is proposed to create a small corner for things hostess.

If the ladder is in the corridor, it is possible for her to put the economic cabinet.Of course, there will not fit an ordinary wardrobe, because the height of the space is limited podlestnichnogo steps.

will be a great solution to attach the shelves at the point.

But first divide the area under the stairs to equalparts by vertical beams.The beams must be fixed along the far wall, and at the section level.

Then he measured the gap from floor to shelf rows.The bars between the two beams are bolted, and they are placed shelves.

At the end of the article reminds that the basic requirement is a balance between aesthetics and safety when choosing a ladder project.If you find this middle ground, it will create a harmonious interior.
