The Designo wooden loft ladder perfectly balances aesthetics with strength, quality and environmental performance. Also, it is quiet, smooth and easy to operate. The 3-part folding wooden loft ladder is contained within, and attached to, an insulated and airtight wooden hatch box. It offers excellent energy efficiency thanks to a highly insulated trapdoor with 6-point locking mechanism providing an airtight seal.
The Designo is also fitted with the patented WDL sealing and insulation tape, which provides a perfect seal between the hatch box and building and saves time during installation. Made of tear-resistant material, it also offers thermal and acoustic insulation.
Can be ordered as a Passive House Institute certified component – see Designo Passive House
