Good riddance: hide your stairs under a trapdoor

Attic stairs, loft ladders, cellar stairs or external stairs – many staircases are fitted with a trapdoor. Just like your staircase, the trapdoor can also be tailored to your interior style. Do you want it to stand out as an eye-catching feature, or blend discreetly into your interior? The choice is yours.

Whether a stair hatch should be an eye-catcher depends on its location and function. For an attic or cellar, a simple hatch is often sufficient. But if you’re turning your attic or cellar into a living space – such as a bedroom, office or playroom – then the stair hatch deserves some attention too. With the right finish, it will blend in perfectly with your staircase and interior.

A staircase leading to a mezzanine or a compact space should not only look good, but also be safe. So bear in mind:

• Sturdy banister for extra support.
• Closed steps (risers) for greater safety and a sleek look.
• Stair hatch as a cover to prevent accidents and neatly enclose the space.
• Anti-slip finish with the durable Upstairs Original Top Layer – safe and easy to maintain.

A stair hatch can be more than just functional. With the right materials and finish, you can turn it into a design feature:

• A transparent stairwell hatch for a modern and spacious look.
• Finish in the same style as your staircase for a harmonious look.
• Decorative finish in a wood, steel or leather look to match your interior.
