The loft ladder: definition

A loft ladder, also known as a mill ladder, is the simplest type of wooden staircase: it consists of 2 stringers, treads and an optional handrail. Why is the loft ladder so simple? To carry flour up, the miller needed equipment that was both compact like a ladder and comfortable like a staircase. Its incline is close to that of a ladder but real treads replace the rungs.

Loft ladder: the perfect compromise

Do you want to install a loft ladder to access an upper floor, a mezzanine, or a storage space? Our models are designed to be perfect compromises. They combine the incline of a ladder (for space saving) with a flight of real treads (for comfort and safety). You have the choice between straight, simple models (two stringers and straight treads) and quarter-turn models.

How to choose your loft ladder?

Go for the easy-to-assemble loft ladder kit from Woodup! The loft ladder is easy to install in a small room. Loft ladders provide access to walkways or a mezzanine via a small hatch or direct access. Non-retractable, the loft ladder blends harmoniously with your interior décor. To choose your loft ladder wisely, follow the advice below.

Choose a staircase height greater than the floor height

To facilitate the assembly of your loft ladder kit, choose a height greater than that of your floor (floor-to-floor). Our loft ladders have adjustable treads. If you opt for a product whose height is too close to the limit, its incline will be steep. The staircase will be less comfortable (climbing with a load in your arms will be more difficult).

Carefully assess the floor space available for your staircase

Plan ahead for assembling your loft ladder. Loft ladders are a guaranteed space-saving solution. However, carefully measure the length and width available in the room. Woodup loft ladders have a small footprint (150 to 180 cm): nevertheless, allow for a setback of 220 to 240 cm.

Take into account the type of use of the loft ladder

Think carefully about the type of treads required for your future staircase. Does the staircase serve a children's bedroom mezzanine? Fir treads are sufficient. Does the loft ladder give access to a library? You will use it frequently while carrying books. A staircase with thick treads is essential.

Choose a loft ladder to match your décor style

Does the loft ladder lead to a mezzanine, a child's bedroom, a library? Find the ideal solid wood loft ladder. Loft ladders have open treads without risers: a guarantee of easy integration into any type of décor. With carefully chosen finishing products, the staircase creates an interesting contrast.

Loft ladder features

Consult our product pages and you will see that our staircase models are suited to a small room. Delivered with detailed assembly instructions, these loft ladders, like our straight staircases, are delivered as kits. Discover below the main features of our staircases and loft ladders.

Loft ladder: almost indispensable in a small room

The loft ladder is a staircase without risers, suited to the smallest of spaces; its space-saving advantage allows it to be positioned wherever space is available in the room. It can be ideal for occasional use to reach a loft or attic. The loft ladder is increasingly popular in most homes.

Standard loft ladder with variable width

Woodup offers a complete range, with or without a handrail in different widths, from the narrowest to the widest for comfortable use. The rail balustrade can be added to the wooden staircase separately, allowing you to secure the ascent on a steep slope. You will be surprised to see how a loft ladder transforms your interior and simplifies your life.

Loft ladder: available in different wood species

Our loft ladders are available in 4 wood species:

• Fir: the most economical solution for indoor staircase use;

• Douglas fir: for outdoor installation;

• Larch: for outdoor/indoor installation;

• Beech: a more premium loft ladder.

Opt for different wood species with the made-to-measure loft ladder if the available species do not suit you.

The Woodup loft ladder is adjustable thanks to its metal pivots. The Aulac, Fageole and Fanlo models allow installation adapted to your constraints and adjustable to your angle of inclination. Ideal as a supplementary staircase or as a mezzanine staircase, by adjusting the tread height, length and incline, the possibilities are endless. It is also a space-saving staircase for compact spaces. For slightly more intensive use, we recommend opting for thicker wood sections, such as the Fageole or Fanlo model.

• Quarter-turn loft ladder, bottom left or right (Adret in fir with offset treads);

• Nugere straight loft ladder in fir or beech with a very small footprint;

Can I install a loft ladder in place of a straight staircase?

Yes, the loft ladder can perfectly be installed in place of a traditional straight staircase. However, please note that if you have the space, a traditional straight staircase is preferable. You will gain in comfort, thanks to the deeper treads.

Why are loft ladders so affordable?

What should be checked first before buying a loft ladder?

Start by checking the floor area (footprint and setback). Concretely, measure the length and width available in the room. Then, make sure the height is compatible with the chosen model. Finally, the use of the ladder should not be intensive.

The Woodup standard loft ladder range covers most needs. Depending on the slope, it is possible to reach up to 3 metres. The typical floor-to-floor height of a storey is generally 2.60 to 2.70 m. Otherwise, made-to-measure models can be manufactured on request.

What is the minimum width required for a comfortable loft ladder?

In a staircase, comfort of use depends on several dimensional factors. The width of the treads is one of them. With treads of 80 cm, comfort is guaranteed. Most of the models offered by Woodup are available in widths ranging from 60 to 90 cm.

How much does a loft ladder cost at Woodup?

It all depends on the model. The price range extends from 200 to 550 euros including VAT.
