Attic access from vertical rather than horizontal

Soledad

Does anyone know if you can fit a staire or an equivalent to an attic which has access vertically, ie from high up on double height landing wall rather than access from the ceiling as you normally see.

This is the type of product I need does anyone know if it can be sourced in Ireland!

A Stira attic stairs , should be able to be fitted in the arrangement you need. A standard stira finishes at a horizontal plane. You only need to rotate it a further 90 degrees to do the same job. It should be possible to do that , as they rotate from a horizontal down to an angle, so they must have the capability. Your rotation point is the top of the stair unit anyway. It should be a simple process to get a metal rotating axis made for the point of rotation, and fit a standard Stira to it.
