What are the different types of loft ladder?

Sliding loft ladders

This is arguably the easiest type of ladder to install and make accessing your lift - really simple. These types of the ladder are often linked to the joists inside your loft and often come as two or three-section ladders. Lots of homes have a loft opening large enough to meet the specified size, or will easily be able to extend it to fit.

Folding loft ladders

Folding loft ladders are one of the other extremely-popular varieties of ladder which are used by lots of households to access the loft due to their ease. In this case, the ladder just folds up, often in two or three sections which will result in the ladder sections being stacked on top of each other on the left hatch once fully closed and is back in place.

Telescopic Loft ladders

This kind of ladder is ideal for providing you with additional space as well as a secure level of function. They look good, are highly adaptable and will be able to fit into the majority of loft hatches, even ones of the slightly smaller side. The key perk of using a telescopic loft ladder is their realising value, often their simple design also leads to a more attractive price.
