Bridging the ceiling void

If the scissor stairs are installed in a suspended ceiling area and bridging of the ceiling void is required, two or three bridging steps can be used to bridge up to 750 mm.

 

If the distance to be bridged exceeds 750 mm, an RHTS roof hatch with integrated scissor stairs and a casing height of 1000 mm should be used.
