Choosing the right loft ladder

The metal side rails make the ladder slim and rigid, while the wooden steps feel comfortable underfoot. The included handrail gives you support on the way down, when you may feel least steady.

For an uninsulated loft above a living space, the COLOMBINO 86 mm version provides more insulation. Allow 151 cm of floor space and 168 cm of opening clearance.

Installation advice

Ceiling opening: prepare an opening to fit your chosen frame, allowing approximately 5 mm around the perimeter. Check that there is at least 170 mm of clear height above the ceiling to accommodate the frame.

Fixing: secure the frame to the floor structure (joists and trimmers) with screws suited to the material, following the instructions. Check that the frame is square before fully tightening the screws: a twisted frame 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 frame to prevent thermal bridging.

Care and protection

Once a year, check that the screws are tight, the joints between the ladder sections are sound and the hatch opening mechanism works properly. Lubricate the mechanisms if the hatch becomes difficult to open, and dust the steps.

The hatch can be painted to match the ceiling. Take care not to block the seal between the hatch and frame, which provides the airtight seal.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a loft ladder with a handrail?

A handrail makes climbing up, and especially coming down, safer, particularly when your hands are full. The COLOMBINO 56 includes one as standard, alongside a ladder with metal side rails and wooden steps.

What are the advantages of a metal-and-wood loft ladder?

Metal provides slim, rigid side rails, while wood makes the steps more comfortable. The COLOMBINO combines both with a 160 kg load capacity.

How much floor space is needed to unfold the COLOMBINO 56?

Allow 151 cm of floor space and 168 cm of clearance to open the hatch and unfold the ladder.

How do I choose the right frame size for a loft ladder?

Choose the frame to suit the ceiling opening: its dimensions correspond to the opening required, allowing approximately 5 mm around it for installation. Measure the existing opening, or the one you can create between the joists, then choose the largest frame that fits without exceeding those dimensions.

Does a loft ladder need to be cut to length?

Yes, in most cases. The ladder is supplied for the maximum ceiling 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 according to the instructions.
