Stair or Ladder?
Explore what works within your space.
You don’t need to choose a Stair or Ladder before you begin. Start from the balanced design, then move between Compact and Comfort to explore how different Bcompact Stair and Ladder options work within your floor-to-floor height and available wall length.
Watch for Space Warnings
Watch for Space Warnings
As you move between Compact and Comfort, the Configurator checks each design against the wall length you entered.
A warning will appear when a design is approaching, or exceeds, the available wall length for your space. Use these warnings to understand which options fit within your current measurements.
If an orange warning appears, the design should still fit within the wall length you entered, but there is very little extra room. Move the slider towards Compact if you would like more clearance.
Orange Warning
Red Warning
If a red warning appears, the design requires more wall length than you entered. Move the slider towards Compact to explore options that fit your space, or update your Available Wall Length if you have more room to work with.
You’ve reached the minimum or maximum limit of our standard Configurator range. This doesn’t necessarily mean your project isn’t possible. Submit your design with a note about what you need and our team can review your dimensions and create a personalised solution.

How accurate do my measurements need to be?
You don't need perfect measurements to get started. The configurator is designed to provide an indicative design and starting price based on the dimensions you enter. Once you request a detailed quote, our team reviews your project and confirms all measurements before production begins.
What if I don't have enough floor space for a staircase?
That's exactly what the configurator is designed to help with. It begins by recommending the most comfortable folding staircase that fits your available space. If your floor space is limited, you can reduce the number of steps to create a more compact design or switch to a folding ladder to achieve the smallest possible footprint.
Will the configurator tell me which product is right for my space?
Yes. Rather than asking you to choose between products, the configurator recommends the most suitable folding staircase or folding ladder based on your floor-to-floor height, available wall length and opening size. You can then compare different options, explore more compact designs and request a personalised quote when you're happy with the result.

What is the difference between a folding Stair and a folding Ladder?
Stairs (available in both Fixed-Top-Step and Full-Fold Design): Custom-sized, designed with a lower angle (50-60 degrees) and featuring our patented bi-folding aluminium handrail and optional locks & sprung gate (for fixed top step design only). Best suited for mezzanines, lofts, or high- use spaces where a stair-like solution is required. • Ladders (available in both Fixed-Top-Step and Full-Fold Design): Custom-sized, steeper angle (60-70 degrees) with fewer treads and no automatic handrail (fixed aluminium handrail and locks optional). Ideal for attics, tight storage, and access points with limited run length where a compact solution is required. Additional: Difference between Fixed-Top-Step and Full-Fold Design: • The Fixed-Top-Step Stair/Ladder design features a fixed top tread with additional cross support for enhanced stability. This top tread remains in place when the stair/ladder folds away, providing a solid anchor point but maintaining a partial structure on the wall. Incontrast, the Full-Fold design eliminates the fixed top tread by using a bolt and catch plate mechanism, allowing the entire unit to fold seamlessly along its full length. This creates a sleeker, uninterrupted façade when stored
