Choosing the right loft ladder
The NOZIERES 86 meets a common need: a small ceiling opening above a heated room, leading into a cold loft. Models for small openings often have a thin hatch; this one retains a thickness of 86 mm.
The handrail is included, except with 50 cm-wide casings. If a handrail is important to you, choose a casing at least 55 cm wide. The maximum ceiling height is 265 cm.
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 170 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 fits a 90 x 60 cm ceiling opening?
The NOZIERES 86 is available with a 90 x 60 cm casing and an 86 mm insulated hatch. It suits ceiling heights of up to 265 cm and includes a handrail in this size.
Is there a loft ladder for a 100 x 50 cm ceiling opening?
Yes, the NOZIERES 86 is available with a 100 x 50 cm casing, as well as 90 x 50 and 110 x 50 cm casings. With these 50 cm-wide casings, the ladder is supplied without a handrail.
How much floor space is needed to unfold the NOZIERES 86?
Allow 142 or 149 cm of floor space, depending on the casing, and approximately 133 cm of clearance to open the hatch and unfold the ladder.
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.
