No stairs fit my measurements – what can I do?

With Minka attic stairs, there are some models that are manufactured individually on request. For these, you can freely select the dimensions of the ceiling opening within certain frame sizes.

Our system staircases are only available in certain sizes and shapes because they are constructed in a modular system. However, they can often be adjusted in height or supplemented with a height extension – you will find more detailed information on this in our technical data sheets and installation instructions.

If none of our staircases fit your room situation, the only option is a custom-made staircase. Beautiful and individual custom-made staircases are available, for example, at https://www.newlivingscale.com/!

Where can I buy Minka stairs?

Minka works with numerous dealers throughout Europe. You can find our products at all major hardware stores as well as at many smaller merchants. You can buy our products both online and directly in stores. Delivery usually takes no longer than two weeks, depending on the model. Alternatively, you can also purchase our articles in our own online shop for the list price.

What is a U-value and how high should it be?

The U-value or U-factor indicates how much energy or heat passes through a material when there are different temperatures on both sides. The U-value is given with the unit W/m2K (watts per square metre and Kelvin).

The lower it is, the better the insulating performance of a material. Thanks to years of experience in the field of loft ladders, Minka is an expert in high-quality insulation technology. The U-values of our products range between 0.1 and 1.3 W/m2K. With the matching ISO top cover, the values can be reduced even further.
