There are many different types of ladders on the market, so it can be hard to know which one will best fit and which will best suit your requirements. From sliding loft ladders to telescopic loft ladders, here we’ll explain which ladder will be best for you.
Folding loft ladders
If you want to maximise space and make sure your loft ladder isn’t in the way while not in use, a folding loft ladder such as this Timberline Ladder is a great option. It will fold up to be stored in the trapdoor so you don’t lose any loft space with a large ladder. You can also install this ladder with an insulated loft door that helps to prevent heat loss. This type of ladder is suitable for higher ceilings up to 2.8m.
Sliding loft ladders
For a ladder that is lightweight and easy to install, a sliding loft ladder will usually do the trick. This Spacemaker loft ladder is wide and has slip-resistant steps for comfort when climbing, suitable for ceilings up to 2.6m. If you don’t frequently use your loft you may benefit from this simple ladder design and they work well with many different loft opening sizes.
Telescopic loft ladders
Another space-saving option, telescopic loft ladders will offer you a minimalist design style and ensure you have plenty of space for storage and access. Telescopic ladders come in different sizes so you can find one to fit the height of your loft opening. This 2.6m Telescopic Loft Ladder is ideal for small hatches and offers an automatic locking system, extra-wide steps and rubber feet for safety and protection.
Weight load & fit
A few other things you need to consider when choosing a loft ladder is the weight load and fit. The weight load determines the maximum weight the ladder can carry. If you intend to use the ladder for heavy-duty purposes such as carrying heavy items up to your loft, you’ll need to make sure you consider the weight you will be carrying.
It’s important to measure your loft properly so that your dimensions are accurate and you can pick the right loft ladder to be installed. It’s also vital you use the correct steps and ladders when installing your loft ladder, or seek a professional to install the ladder for you.
