An attic ladder is an important element of a house. However, the loft space is often unused. There can be several reasons for this – from a financial deficit to a lack of space. If this problem applies to you, ladders, which retract into the ceiling and take up very little space when unfolded, could be the perfect solution. As a result, you will be able to use them even in tight corridors and small spaces.
At FAKRO, you can find many products that will easily match your interior style and corridor size. Remember to always choose good-quality products that are properly protected and have a thermal insulation layer. This will minimise heat loss and save money, especially during the heating season. Nowadays, when so much emphasis is put on energy and environmental aspects, FAKRO rises to the challenge and offers excellent solutions.
Types of loft ladders in the FAKRO offer
As mentioned, the FAKRO loft ladder offer is very wide, and each type is distinguished by its robust construction and timeless design. The correct choice of loft ladder has a significant impact on the comfort of its use as well as saving heat energy. Among the most popular loft ones we can include:
Wooden folding loft ladders
The most popular and universal solution. Three types of them offered by FAKRO are the most preferred in this sector. These are the LWL Extra, LWS Plus and LWK Plus models. They are distinguished by the robust construction of pine wood, which, in addition to durability, also ensures an aesthetic appearance. Depending on the chosen model, the clapboard has a thickness of 5 or 7.4 cm of thermal insulation, which provides excellent ceiling insulation from the loft.
Moreover, the box has been fitted with two or three seals (depending on the model), which guarantees impermeability to both heat and cold. Wooden folding loft ladders from FAKRO are easy to install (for more details, please visit https://www.fakro.co.uk/products/all-products/loft-ladders/wooden-folding-section-loft-ladder/), especially as they are delivered to the client already fully assembled and prepared for quick installation. The construction is covered by a 3-year guarantee.
Scissors loft ladders
Scissors loft ladders are made entirely of metal, which makes them very strong and resistant to heavier loads. What distinguishes them from wooden ones is that they fold in an accordion. Although they are not as convenient as the wooden loft ladder, their advantages certainly include the possibility of adjusting them precisely to the interior. They also take up the minimum required space and are recommended for tight areas.
For scissor loft ladders, the producer also offers three solutions: the LET Electric, the LST and the LSF. The first proposal is a high-tech innovation. The Z-Wave system and WiFi module can control them remotely (opening and closing) from a mobile phone! This is a very simple and convenient solution that will appeal to many consumers.
The other two types are traditional yet very robust and aesthetic proposals equipped with a quick installation system and the possibility to tighten or unscrew the steps to adjust them perfectly to the ceiling height. They also have the option of being fitted with non-slip treads.
The flap on the LSF model is fireproof and provides protection for up to 60 minutes. The thickness of the thermal insulation, on the other hand, is 3.6 cm.
Metal folding section loft ladders
Lastly, let’s talk about the metal folding section loft ladders. These will prove their worth in any building, standing out for their greatest durability and excellent insulation qualities. FAKRO also offer three types of metal ladders. These are the LME Energy Efficient, LMT Super Thermo and LML Lux models.
The first model is energy-efficient, with a flap made of pine wood that is 5.6 cm thick. The thickness of the insulation itself is 5 cm. The LMT Super Thermo is an even more energy-efficient solution, with a hatch as thick as 8 cm, of which 7.4 cm is thermal insulation! The LML Lux model is distinguished by an excellent ladder relief mechanism in the handrail. You also get non-slip steps, integrated finishing strips or a perimeter seal, which better protects against heat loss.
