How to choose a loft ladder

The first step in selecting a loft ladder is to determine the size of the ladder necessary by measuring your loft area. It’s important to make sure you accurately measure the loft opening size, floor to ceiling height, floor to loft floor height, opening arc, as well as loft storage space, so you select a ladder that will fit the space you have.

The vertical distance between the completed floor and the loft floor is measured by the floor to loft floor height. You'll need to measure from the completed floor to the finished ceiling if you're considering a timber loft ladder.

Measure the width and length of the rough opening in your ceiling. To ensure that you choose the correct loft ladder for your house, you must first determine the size of the hole you have or will build.

Measure the clearance arc and length behind the hatch in the loft. If you choose our timber loft ladder, the ladder is stowed inside the trapdoor. Measure the opening arc to verify the amount of space available to swing out the ladder.

We have loft ladders in a variety of materials, including lightweight aluminium and cost-effective wood. Our aluminium ladders are lightweight and simple to install. The wooden ones are built to last and include additional features like insulation and aided stowage.
