We have been made aware through service requests, of companies and people passing off other brand loft ladders as Stira stairs in Ireland. We do not have any distributors in the Republic of Ireland, Stira only sell directly to customers.
Please be aware that we only service our own stairs and our parts do not fit other brand stairs as our ladder is Heavier than the competition.
Stira has official distributors in Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. Stira distributors offer a full service, they are fully trained by us to fit all Stira folding attic stairs and provide the Stira 10 year guarantee.
Other brands of stairs sold in Ireland tend to be those found in DIY stores for €99 (these can be bought cheaper in bulk). People should be aware that the vast majority of the price they paid will be spent on fitting the stairs not the stairs itself.
While the company providing the stairs may offer a ten year guarantee this does not come from the manufacturer and most other manufacturers do not provide spare parts to fix their stairs.
This puts the person fitting the stairs at an immediate disadvantage as the only way they can get spare parts is by taking them off another stairs.

Stira stairs, Real value over a lifetime
Our stairs are built to last, we do not manufacture to a bottom line or to be just barely safe enough to sell. The competition offer cheap alternative loft ladders, but how many loft ladders will it take to do the job of one Stira, folding attic stairs? If the competition breaks down where will you be left?
We regularly get calls from people who think they’ve been sold a Stira but have in fact bought a competitors stairs which has broken and they are looking to get it fixed. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do for these people as the Stira parts will not fit on these stairs.
As an Irish manufacturer we cannot compete with the imports from the bottom end of the market and we have no intention to do so, we will always strive to make the best attic stairs available on the market and we will stand by our product with a 10 year guarantee.
For most people the Stira is a once in a lifetime purchase. Once it is fitted it will always be ready to do it’s job and will give the people that use it comfort and peace of mind knowing that the stairs they are using is built with the customers safety in mind.
