Sauna and spa profiles must be suitable for high temperatures and humidity. The product pages clearly indicate which profiles are approved for this use. Not every wood profile is sauna or steam resistant.
Certain product lines—especially facade profiles and selected terrace products—are designed for outdoor use. Other products, on the other hand, are only suitable for indoor use. Each product page clearly indicates whether the respective profile is approved for indoor use, facades, or saunas and spas.
Yes. All Minka Wood products are PEFC certified and sourced from sustainably managed, controlled forests. The certification guarantees responsible and fully traceable origins.
Minka Wood works exclusively with pine, spruce, and ash. These types of wood are tried and tested, versatile, and offer the ideal combination of stability, appearance, and sustainability.
The range includes interior cladding, facade profiles, cladding for saunas and spas, and terraces. Not every profile is suitable for all areas of application—the respective product pages clearly indicate what each product is approved for.
Minka Wood is the Minka Group‘s wood product line and includes high-quality wall and ceiling cladding, facade profiles, sauna profiles, and decking products. All solutions combine a natural look, long-lasting quality, and sustainable manufacturing.
The installation manual is included with your delivered staircase. If you’d like to have it in digital form or print it again, you can download the latest installation manuals directly from the respective product pages in our online shop.
Some Minka attic staircases are custom-made on request. Our made-to-measure models include Type 118M, Type 102M, and Type 4M. With these staircases, you can freely choose the ceiling opening dimensions within defined frame sizes.
Our system staircases, on the other hand, are only available in specific sizes and shapes, as they are based on a modular system. However, many models can be adjusted in height or extended with a height extension. You’ll find detailed information in the technical data sheets and installation manuals.
If none of our staircases fit your space, a fully custom-made staircase may be the right solution. You can find beautiful and highly individual made-to-measure staircases, for example, at https://www.newlivingscale.com.
Minka works with numerous retailers around the world. In Europe, you can find our products at all major DIY stores as well as many smaller building material and specialist retailers. You can buy your Minka staircase both online and directly from retailers. Alternatively, you can also purchase all items directly from our own online shop.
The U-value – also known as the thermal transmittance or insulation value – indicates how much heat passes through a material when there is a temperature difference on either side. It is measured in W/m²K (watts per square meter and kelvin).
Simply put: the lower the U-value, the better the insulation performance.
Thanks to many years of experience in attic staircases, Minka is an expert in high-quality insulation technology. The U-values of our attic staircases range between 0.2 and 1.3 W/m²K, depending on the model. With the matching ISO top cover, these values can be reduced even further.
