What are loft ladders? Why are they important?
They provide access to lofts, attics, plant rooms, or even a roof. As such, they come in all shapes and sizes. For example, folding wooden ladders, compact concertina ladders, sliding attic ladders or electrically operated stairs. Furthermore, they are available in a variety of load ratings and with fire rated hatches.
A key feature of any loft access ladder is that it is permanently fixed at the top (i.e. it cannot be removed). This makes them much safer and more convenient than step-ladders. In addition, ladders designed and manufactured to BS EN 14975 offer the safest access.
In order to save space, attic ladders are typically installed within the ceiling, concealed by a drop-down hatch (loft hatch and ladder). However, they can also be installed into vertical wall openings, although this requires specially designed ladders. For access to a roof, particularly for the purpose of roof-top maintenance, heavy duty retractable ladders are fixed beneath a flat roof hatch or rooflight.
In summary, there is a loft access ladder for all needs and budgets. However, finding the right one for your project can be difficult.
