What are the benefits of a loft ladder from BPS Depot?

So what makes loft ladders so special as a form of access to your often underused loft?

Convenience

Easy access is the key to using your loft. Pulling down a pre-attached ladder, or adding electrical functionality, makes for an ideal solution compared to having to fetch a stepladder every time you want to go up. In addition, there are plenty of loft ladder accessories available to enhance your experience if default features are not enough.

Stability

Loft ladders are secured to the attic space with great integrity, offering safety and balance in comparison to alternate methods. Our loft ladders come with an enhanced weight rating, meaning if you use your loft space as storage, you needn’t feel unsafe carrying things up and down. You can access your loft opening safely with a BPS Depot loft ladder.

Easy Servicing

A loft or attic space is typically used as a place to store a boiler, meter or water tank to free space in the rest of the home. Having an attic ladder means tradespeople benefit from improved accessibility to their job.

Are loft ladders safe?

Funnily enough, a loft ladder is amongst the most secure and safe ladders in the industry. This is because they are fixed in place through nuts and bolts, meaning it would take a lot of force to threaten integrity.

That being said, it’s important to note that the vast majority of accidents on ladders come from human error, however. This is why when it comes to using loft ladders safely, you should always maintain the three points of contact rule – meaning you should always have two feet and one hand on the ladder when using it. This rule is ingrained in many working-at-height UK safety regulations for a reason.

What is the perfect loft ladder size?

That all depends on your loft, the floor to ceiling height of the floor below, and the size of your loft hatch.

Standard loft ladder sizes are around 1200mm x 700mm / 1200mm x 600mm, or for smaller homes and loft hatch opening size 1150mm x 550mm.

But not all lofts are made equal, just like all of our loft ladders aren’t. So to get the right ladder you’ll need to measure:

• floor to ceiling height
• loft hatch size

Using those two numbers you’ll be able to find the right option for you.

Which loft ladder accessories do I need?

Whilst you don’t need any of our loft ladder accessories if they don’t fit what you’re looking for, we have a number of products that could make accessing your loft space much easier:

• Grab rails – for safer access.
• Balustrades – to protect you when you’re in the loft.
• Loft lights – for greater visibility.
• Insulated loft hatches – to protect your home below from the cold attic space above.
• And so much more!
