Wooden Loft Ladders

If you are in the market for a solid and reliable loft ladder why not go for a good quality one and get a Deluxe wooden loft ladder. Buying good quality wooden loft ladders is an important step when creating a suitable method of access into the attic or loft and safety and reliability are two of the factors that you will be getting when you look at a Deluxe loft ladder. The ladder is a quality product that has been manufactured and distributed by UK company BPS Access Solutions.

The Deluxe loft ladder comes with treads that are 80mm deep, an extra depth to make them even safer to use. There are also handrails for ease of climbing up and down and they and the hinges are coated a distinctive red. The ladder is set into a spring loaded loft ladder hatch that is simple to open and close and the feet are fitted with non-slip protective rubber caps to protect the floor from being marked.

The construction of the Deluxe wooden loft ladder steps is solid with mortise and tenon joints. Everything about this particular loft ladder has been made with the safety of the owner in mind as well as the aim to make it as easy as possible to use.

It would certainly be worth while visiting BPS Access Solutions to get more details about a loft ladder that appears to provide everything you might need.

Although wooden loft ladders are particularly sturdy and safe to climb, not everyone is confident in using them if they don’t come with a handrail. Take into account the attics that are fed by a loft ladder that are used primarily for storage. In these cases the usual situation will be that the arms are going to be loaded with heavy or bulky bags and crates. It is always a good idea, if there is a choice, to add an optional handrail to the loft ladder installation.

An example of a good quality wooden loft ladder that comes with the option of adding a handrail is a Top Flyte Solid Spruce Loft Ladder. This loft ladder is a three section ladder that folds up easily with a powerful dual spring that is counterbalanced for ease of use. The unit is available with a tubular handrail that comes at no extra cost.

A type of loft ladder that just about always comes with handrails is the sliding loft ladder. The reason that a sliding loft ladder is usually fitted with a handrail is because the assembly doesn’t rely on the entire unit collapsing down to a compact size. Handrails aren’t really conducive to folding into a compact package.

Sometimes the handrail may get in the way when trying to take larger items up into the attic. In most cases this shouldn’t be too much of a problem because the handrail may be removed and reattached later when needed again. Look for a wooden loft ladder that caters for the changing needs of those who will be using it.

Loft ladder handrails can be bought as part of the ladder package when you initially have it installed, but it can also be bought at a later date. Loft ladder handrails are an optional extra which will mean that you can buy them independent of the ladder to install as needed. You will just have to make sure that the hardrail that you buy matches the loft ladder that you already own.
