Architect and designer resources
- We offer a full range of CAD drawings and technical data to help make it easy for you to specify the right solution.
- In addition, many of our products are featured on NBS Plus and available for architects and designers to specify using NBS software.
Reduced costs
- Special discounts are available for Housing Associations placing orders for multiple ladders, therefore helping to keep upfront costs as low as possible.
- All our prices include delivery to any UK mainland address.
- Furthermore, the proven quality and performance of our products mean you won’t have the hassle or cost of replacing your new loft ladder for many years to come.
Safety and security
- Safety is a primary concern in the design of our products. For example, the use of carefully engineered, high strength components means our loft ladders are extremely robust and stable. They are also capable of withstanding high loads.
- Safety and comfort is further enhanced through the use of large treads with anti-slip profiles.
- Where tenants are not allowed to use the loft, many of our loft ladder and hatch solutions can be fitted with a lock. This therefore prevents unauthorised access.
Insulated loft ladders – information guide and data sheet
According to the Energy Saving Trust, an uninsulated home loses one quarter of its heat through the roof. Insulating your loft/attic and fitting an insulated loft ladder and hatch could therefore save you hundreds of pounds in energy costs. There are three important factors to consider when choosing a loft ladder and hatch:
- The amount of thermal insulation provided by the loft hatch
- Air permeability through the loft hatch box
- Air permeability around the outside of the hatch box
Make sure you know exactly what to look for when choosing your new loft ladder. Read our complete guide and download a copy of your insulated loft ladders data sheet.
Fire rated loft ladders – information guide and data sheet
A fire rated loft hatch and ladder provides safe and convenient access into a loft or attic, while still providing up to 90 minutes of fire resistance. Choosing the right product for your application is essential.
Learn what to look for when choosing your new fire rated loft ladder.
How do you recognise a ‘heavy duty loft ladder’?
For access into plant rooms or flat roof access, you may wish to consider a heavy duty loft ladder. They are capable of carrying higher loads and are typically more robust and durable than ladders designed for domestic use.
Our useful guide helps identify the key features to look for when choosing heavy duty commercial loft ladders.
