Abstract:

The instant invention relates to a stairwell system that provides a floor that can be deployed within a stairwell that can increase the useable area in a stairwell by providing a storage area above the stairwell system and a safety shelter below the stairwell system. This stairwell flooring system is also known as a “floating floor”. The instant invention provides a set of movable floor panels that can be mounted on the wall of a stairwell into an upper and a lower chamber. The upper chamber may be used as a storage or work area. It may be equipped with shelves on the wall and a countertop so that an individual may operate appliances. The lower chamber can be used as a shelter for protection from a tornado, hurricane, or other natural disaster.
