The Designo wooden loft ladder perfectly balances aesthetics with strength and quality. The 3-part folding heavy duty wooden loft ladder is contained within, and attached to, an insulated wooden hatch box. It offers excellent energy efficiency thanks to a highly insulated trapdoor with 6-point locking mechanism providing an airtight seal. It 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.
Can be ordered as a Passive House Institute certified component – Designo Passivhaus
