Choosing the right loft ladder
Above 310 cm, standard loft ladders are no longer sufficient. The AUBRAC 330 suits older homes and rooms with ceiling heights of up to 3.30 m.
It requires a casing at least 130 cm long, 145 cm of floor space and 205 cm of opening clearance. Its 26 mm hatch provides limited insulation: improve the insulation around the casing if the loft is cold.
Installation advice
Ceiling opening: prepare an opening to fit the chosen casing, allowing approximately 5 mm of clearance all around. Check that there is at least 135 mm of clear height above the ceiling to accommodate the casing.
Fixing: secure the casing to the floor structure (joists and trimmer joists) using screws suitable for the material, following the instructions. Check that it is square before fully tightening: a twisted casing will prevent the hatch from closing properly.
Adjustment: unfold the ladder, measure the ceiling height and trim the final section so it rests flat on the floor. Fit the handrail. Finally, join the loft insulation around the casing to avoid thermal bridges.
Care and protection
Once a year, check that the screws are tight, inspect the joints between ladder sections and make sure the hatch opening mechanism works properly. Lubricate the mechanisms if opening becomes stiff, and dust the treads.
The hatch can be painted to match the ceiling. Take care not to block the seal between the hatch and casing, which provides the airtight seal.
Frequently asked questions
Which loft ladder suits a ceiling height of 3.30 m?
The AUBRAC 330 reaches ceiling heights of up to 330 cm with 15 wooden treads. It requires a casing 130 or 140 cm long.
How much floor space is needed to unfold the AUBRAC 330?
Allow 145 cm of floor space and 205 cm of clearance to open the hatch and unfold the ladder.
What is the difference between the AUBRAC 26 and AUBRAC 330?
The AUBRAC 26 reaches up to 310 cm with 12 treads; the AUBRAC 330 reaches 330 cm with 15 treads and a casing 130 or 140 cm long.
How do I choose the casing size for a loft ladder?
Choose the casing to suit the ceiling opening: its dimensions correspond to the opening required in the ceiling, allowing approximately 5 mm of clearance around it for installation. Measure the existing opening, or the one you can create between the joists, then choose the casing closest in size without exceeding it.
Does a loft ladder need to be cut to length?
Yes, in most cases. The ladder is supplied to suit the maximum height and is trimmed at the bottom so the final section rests flat on the floor. Measure the ceiling height, unfold the ladder and cut it as directed in the instructions.
