2 if i build in my attic 2 bedrooms do i need to have a access door to the outside or some kind of ladder.
Outside access to my attic.
The attic is the 2nd story of my home and has normal stairs going up from the main floor living space.
Hot air exhaust vents located at the peak of the roof allow hot air to escape.
The international building code irc and the 2017 residential edition of the florida building code fbc r807 1 both state that the attic access must be readily accessible and also provide specs for the size of a ceiling or wall access opening.
Attic accesses are required for any attic that has a clear ceiling height of 30 inches or more and the opening needs to be a minimum of 22 inches by 30 inches in size.
