Installation advice
Fix the handrail to the hatch in the open position. Check that the handrail does not obstruct the closing mechanism. Fixing screws should be chosen according to the hatch material.
Maintenance and protection
The wood is delivered raw and untreated. Apply a protective finish before use : satin varnish 2 coats (maximum resistance), oil-wax (natural look, renewal every 1–2 years) or paint. The handrail, subject to frequent contact, benefits from an abrasion-resistant varnish.
Annual maintenance with a product suited to the chosen finish. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based products.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SAPET handrail compatible with all WoodUp retractable loft ladders?
Yes, compatible with the entire WoodUp range. Check the dimensions of your hatch before ordering.
Are screws included in the SAPET kit?
No. Provide screws suited to the material of your hatch (wood or metal).
Can the SAPET handrail fold with the hatch?
The SAPET handrail is designed to be used with the hatch open only. Check that it does not obstruct the closing mechanism during installation.
What is the difference between the SAPET handrail and a floor-level balustrade?
The SAPET handrail is a mobile accessory fixed to the hatch, used when the loft ladder is in use. A balustrade is a permanent fixed installation. The SAPET complements the safety system at hatch level.
Is a SAPET handrail needed if the opening is against a wall?
If the hatch opens directly against a wall that protects against the risk of falling, the handrail may not be essential. It is recommended if the opening leads onto an open space.
