It is often the case, especially with family houses, that the top floor of a building is not in use. The reason is usually the same – lack of access to the attic. An ideal and quite inexpensive solution can be loft ladders, thanks to which you can easily and safely access and use this space. It can be a storage for less necessary items, but you can also separate a usable area, where you can arrange a room for a child, a bedroom or a private office for work.
What type of loft ladder should you choose to make loft access the most convenient and comfortable? FAKRO offers many types of loft ladders, which, depending on your final choice, will work well in any home. Below we’ll give you a brief overview of which loft ladders are currently available (you can find out even more at: https://www.fakro.co.uk/loft_ladders/) and will try to answer which one will work best in a particular location.
Wooden folding loft ladders
Wooden folding attic ladders are one of the most popular products. They are characterised by their elegant and robust finish. Currently, the most popular wooden loft ladders are:
- The LWL Extra model stands out from the competition with its new design with improved thermal insulation performance. In addition, they are equipped with an additional handrail to ensure more comfort whilst using them. The ladder also has a stress-relieving mechanism, which is very useful when opening and folding it.

- LWS Plus model – this is the basic solution offered by FAKRO but it also features innovative options that ensure complete safety and comfort. This model is also characterised by ease of installation. What’s more the LWS Plus wooden stairs are equipped with a thermally insulated hatch, which can be painted in any colour.
- LWK Plus model, a ladder with enhanced thermal insulation properties. Like the LWS Plus model, they are very easy to install. The finish is elegant and aesthetically pleasing. Special feet are included to protect the floor.
Metal folding section loft ladders
- The second type is metal folding section loft ladders, which are distinguished by the highest durability and strength of all the models discussed today. Among the most popular are:
- LMK Comfort – these have been fitted with a white flap and a red handrail that is attached to the angles of the ladder. This makes moving up the stairs very easy and comfortable.
- LMS Smart – three-section ladders similar to the previous ones, with pine wood hatch.

Scissors loft ladders
Scissors loft ladders are entirely made of metal. What distinguishes them from others is the fact that they fold in an accordion and, although they may not be as convenient as wooden ones, they take up the least amount of space when folded and unfolded, and therefore can be used in almost any interior!
The most popular models of scissor ladders are the LSF and LST. They are fire-resistant and provide an excellent firewall. Their hatch is protected by thermal insulation and the stairs themselves can be extended to 230 and 330 cm depending on the model.
