The Recovery Series wooden folding attic stairs Specifications

Home / Our Products | Policies | Contact Us

The Recovery Series Wooden Folding Attic Stairs are unlike any other attic stairs.

We chose American-made plywood as a primary and sturdy material for the frame and ladder. Plywood is superior to solid wood in strength and dimensional stability; we are also able to over-size our parts without restrictions created by available lumber sizes. Using plywood also allows us to choose material from sustainable, managed sources and reduce waste. Paired with our heavy-duty hardware, optional 2.5” thick R-12 insulated or 3/4” utility door, the Recovery Series Folding Attic Stairs are high quality, energy-saving products with long-lasting benefits.
