Measuring your Staircase Accurately on a Narrow Landing- the Considerations
Gamia Mini Space Saving Stair Kit
Accurate Measurements - Why are They Important?
If you only have a narrow landing for your staircase, you must ensure that you accurately record all measurements to make sure that your choice of staircase will work in the space you have. If you have a particularly narrow landing, your choice of staircases is going to be more limited. If you don’t take accurate measurements before you buy, you could end up with a staircase that simply will not fit in your home. This could be costly and stressful, so always make sure you take down the measurements exactly, before you part with your hard-earned cash! Take a look at our range of loft stairs suitable for narrow landings to help you measure up.
What Tools Will You Need to Measure Your Staircase?
Taking measurements for a staircase on a narrow landing is a simple task, and you won’t need any special tools or equipment to do so. However, make sure that you have an accurate tape measure, and a piece of paper and pen handy to write the measurements down. It is also a good idea to have someone help you to hold the tape measure straight and steady to ensure you get the most accurate reading possible.
How To Go About Taking Accurate Measurements for a Staircase
When considering whether a particular staircase will fit in your narrow landing, you need to consider several different measurements to be absolutely certain. You’ll first need to measure the floor-to-floor height to see how much vertical space you have. Then measure your current loft opening dimensions, and finally take the measurements of the lower floor space - this will be where the staircase will be positioned, so it’s crucial to get this right. Once you’ve made a note of the space you have, you’ll be able to see which staircase is the perfect fit for you!
