Bcompact Hybrid is a side folding staircase designed for compact homes and workspaces. The staircase folds sideways to sit flush with or inside the wall when not in use. A bi-folding handrail and an automatic safety gate move with the folding action. Stringers and treads are cut from sustainably sourced bamboo plyboard using low waste cutting methods. Brass, aluminium and stainless steel parts support a long service life. Each unit is made to the required height and angle, so access to upper levels is gained with minimal building work.
