Mainly just curious for a story I am writing. I'd never go up into my attic and see because, frankly, individual up there gives me the creeps. However, surrounded by the movie 'Christmas Vacation', Chevy Case's character gets stuck up surrounded by the attic.
Also, would this answer be different concerning the age of the house the attic is in? Say an ancient or even decrepit house as opposed to a newer, more modern model?
Answers: Most of the unmarked style folding stairways are held closed by springs. They can be pushed open from the inside of the attic and the stairs folded down in front of you as you climb down. I enjoy worked on a couple of older ones that had a stop release to hold them closed. They could not be opened from the inside of the attic. Most older homes hold a full staircase to the attic.
