ABOUT LOFT LADDERS

Loft ladders are manufactured in either aluminium or timber, and may be of three main types. Aluminium loft ladders may have a sliding, folding, or concertina action. Timber loft ladders may have a sliding or folding action. In all cases they can be supplied complete with fittings for DIY installation. The attraction of the concertina action is that it occupies minimum space within the loft.

The leading UK suppliers of loft ladders, listed below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive and informative websites, with information on materials for loft ladders doors, types of loft ladders, and installation and maintenance of loft ladders.
