The Husky Model 1200 is the aluminum folding attic stair — the correct specification for 12' ceiling heights and for homeowners who prefer a lightweight aluminum stair over wood.

Aluminum stair construction — strong and lightweight, the aluminum sections of the 1200 are significantly lighter than equivalent wood construction while maintaining the 375 lb load rating; the reduced weight makes the stair easier to deploy and retract for regular attic access

Available in 12' ceiling height — the only Husky model that reaches 12' ceilings, covering two-story great rooms and custom builds where neither the 444 nor 655 can be used

Telescopic pull-down assist rod standard — the 1200 includes a telescopic rod that allows the stair to be pulled down from the ceiling without reaching up into the opening; at ceiling heights of 10+ feet this is not just convenient but a meaningful safety feature for accessing a door that would otherwise require a step stool to reach

Adjustable rubber-tipped feet — the feet accommodate minor variations in floor-to-ceiling distance and provide non-slip floor contact; on taller stairs the foot adjustment is critical for ensuring the stair rests stably on the floor at the correct angle

Kiln-dried SYP frame — while the stair sections are aluminum, the door frame uses the same kiln-dried Southern Yellow Pine as the wood Husky models, providing a solid, stable door structure that is installed into the ceiling framing

Full-width heavy-duty piano hinge — the 1200 uses the same full-width piano hinge as the wood models, providing the same air-sealing and structural benefits across the full door width

375 lb load rating matching the 655 Plus — the aluminum construction does not compromise load capacity; the 1200 carries the same 375 lb rating as the premium wood model

All three Husky models are available with energy saving insulation panels and a fire retardant door panel option. Specify at time of order — contact DOORTEC for availability and current pricing.

R3 Insulation Panel

Insulated door panel with weatherstripped frame — R3 thermal value. Reduces air infiltration and heat transfer at the attic opening.

R5 Insulation Panel

Mid-range insulated door panel with weatherstripped frame — R5 thermal value. Improved energy efficiency over the R3 panel.

R10 Insulation Panel

High-performance insulated panel with weatherstripped frame — R10 thermal value. Meets Energy Star Qualified Homes R10 thermal requirement.

Fire Retardant Door Panel

Fire retardant treated door panel. Specified when code or preference requires a fire-resistant attic door panel.

Model 1200 Installation in Oklahoma City

The Husky Model 1200 aluminum attic stair is DOORTEC's specification for Oklahoma City homes with ceiling heights 12 feet — primarily two-story homes, homes with vaulted or cathedral ceilings, and newer custom construction where 11-foot and 12-foot ceilings are increasingly common design choices. The 1200's telescopic pull-down rod is particularly practical in these taller applications where reaching up to pull down a stair at 11 or 12 feet presents a real inconvenience. DOORTEC installs the Model 1200 throughout Oklahoma City, Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Midwest City, Guthrie, El Reno, and the OKC metro.

For Oklahoma City custom home builders specifying attic stairs for new construction, the 1200 is the correct specification for any plan with 12-foot ceilings — and DOORTEC works directly with builders to confirm rough opening dimensions, ceiling heights, and load requirements before the framing stage. Call (405) 720-7107 to coordinate for new construction.

Aluminum Attic Stairs for Tall Ceilings Tulsa & OKC

DOORTEC's Tulsa location serves the greater Tulsa metro with the Husky Model 1200 for tall-ceiling residential applications. Tulsa's newer suburban construction in Broken Arrow, Jenks, and Owasso frequently incorporates 10-foot and higher ceiling profiles where the Model 1200 is the only Husky model that reaches the full ceiling height range.

For Tulsa and Oklahoma City homeowners with 10-foot ceilings where the wood 655 Plus is the more economical specification, the 1200 is the correct choice for 12' ceilings. Contact DOORTEC at (405) 720-7107 or doortec.com to confirm the right model.
