I know that tiny staircases are a rarity and people choose ladders instead. However, I think that for several reasons, ladders are not a good option. First and foremost, there is nothing better than having to climb down a ladder in the middle
of the night to use the bathroom. As the occupants of the home grow older, it probably becomes more and more difficult to use a ladder. The good news is that tiny staircases work the right size and the space below can provide plenty of storage space. In the following I will show you step by step how to create 25sf of memory by building these tiny staircases. In the example shown, the steps (which you step on) are 10 inches deep and the steps (the height of each step) are 8 7/8 inches high, and the entire unit is 3/4 inch plywood in cabinet quality.
Learning how to calculate tiny staircases is a lesson in itself, but here's a brief introduction to getting you started. We will not use stringers (the structural pillars under most stairs cut from 2x12 material) to maximize the storage capacity of the room. So the boxes.
Measure the height of the room, which requires stairs. This is called "ascension". Measure from floor to floor and take into account any flooring that may later be laid. This is especially important if you want to use floor coverings with different thicknesses on the ground floor and in the attic. In this case, you will need to adjust the riser heights to keep the risers consistent.
Measure the space in which you can build the stairs. This is called "running". Make a mark on the floor directly under the loft and measure to a point as far away as you can reach the stairs. The further you go, the gentler you go up the stairs.
Divide the barrel by 10 "as this is your target tread depth. If the number is even then that's the number of levels you'll have. If it is not straight (ie there are fractions or decimals left), round up and that is the number of steps you will have. For example, a measurement of 8.67 would mean that 9 steps would be needed.
Start from the beginning. Divide the run by the new number of steps. In this way, you get the exact measure for each profile.
Repeat the same process for the risers.
You can customize the math here as you like. Note, however, that the closer you get to the code, the more comfortable your stairs are (at least 10-inch increments and no more than 8-inch increments).
The first outstanding feature is the retractable aluminum staircase, which can enter and exit a series of drawers. It leads to the sleeping loft and makes a ladder unnecessary. Second, the main room has underground storage cabinets that fit seamlessly into the overall design.
