A type of staircase that can be pulled down when in use and tucked away when not in use.

  3. Convenience: Provide convenient access to elevated spaces, such as attics or lofts, without the need for a permanent staircase that takes up floor space.
  4. Aesthetics: They can be designed to match the decor and aesthetics of your home or building, providing a seamless integration into the space.
  5. Durability: Retractable stairs are typically made from durable materials, such as steel or aluminum, ensuring long-lasting functionality and durability.
