LADDER TYPES
FOLDING | TELESCOPIC | SPRING
We offer an extensive range of extension, sliding, and folding attic ladders in timber, steel, or aluminium.
All our attic stairs offer the perfect combination of smart classical elegance, functionality, and heavy duty construction for long-life durability.
You can also choose from manual pull down, spring loaded and electric folding models.
Attic ladders fold away in 3 basic formats:
- Folding
- Telescopic
- Spring
A number of our attic ladders come with a pre-finished box frame and insulated trapdoors already included. These prevent heat loss and make installation very simple.
You can have the choice of a manual pull-down ladder (spring-assisted) or choose one of our high-end automated electric openers.
FOLDING
Folding ladders encompass those ladders where sections of the ladder fold back on themselves with the whole ladder then folding neatly above the ceiling trapdoor.
We have folding ladders available in timber, aluminium and steel to suit ceiling heights from 2,600mm to 3,600mm.
TELESCOPIC
Telescopic attic ladders fold away in a concertina fashion. These tend to be made from super strong steel with heady duty hinges and moving parts.
Some of our telescopic attic ladders are specially designed for providing access to external rooftops or for reaching access points in vertical walls.
For these heavier duty attic ladders the hatch doors are usually made from steel or alloy.
SPRING
Some of our models have powerful springs to assist in the closing of the ladder and hatch. These soft-touch springs allow easy opening especially on the pull-down models.
WHAT'S THE BEST?
Choosing which model attic ladder is best for your needs will depend on a range of criteria including:
- Dimensions—floor to ceiling
- Max load capacity
- Material and Price
Our wooden attic ladders are made from sustainably grown kiln-dried pine, and Nordic or Hoop pine. Timber attic ladders suit heights up to 3,600mm. Load bearing capacity for our wooden ladders ranges from 140kgs to 220kgs.
Steel and aluminium ladders have load capacities of up to 220kgs.
Choice of materials and type of folding action has a significant impact on the price.
Telescoping steel attic ladders and automated electric operating systems add significant convenience and ease but do increase the cost.
