  • Can I hang louvered doors in front of an open stairway?

    Hi all, I have a bedroom loft conversion which is entered with an open stairway (approx. same height as a standard door frame and was hoping to have louvred doors as the entrance to the bedroom. Would it be possible to hang to louvred doors in front of the staircase? I would like to have them hinged centrally to be bifold – as the landing space would be quite small. Would this require a full door frame for the louvred doors or is there any other options? For example, could I hand them off the side of the wall or attach to a wooden baton for the hinges? Thanks Han

    Cost to fix loft hatch

    What sort of cost am I looking at to fix a badly installed loft ladder? I think the hole has been cut in the wrong place and it's too wide, so there's a large wooden frame to cover the gap in the ceiling.
