How to choose the right loft ladder

The EVIRES fits square or short ceiling openings, such as 70 x 70 cm, that most loft ladders cannot accommodate. Yet it still reaches up to 290 cm.

You will, however, need floor space: 195 to 210 cm depending on the frame, plus 220 to 245 cm of clearance. For a narrow room, compare it with the more compact NOZIERES, which is limited to 265 cm.

Installation advice

Ceiling opening: prepare an opening to fit the chosen frame, allowing approximately 5 mm around the perimeter. Check that there is at least 135 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 cut the bottom section so that it rests flat on the floor. Finally, fit the loft insulation around the frame to avoid thermal bridges.

Care and protection

Once a year, check that the screws are tight, inspect the joints between ladder sections and check that the hatch-opening mechanism works properly. Lubricate the mechanisms if opening becomes stiff, 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 barrier.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a loft ladder for a 70 x 70 cm ceiling opening?

Yes, the EVIRES 26 comes with a 70 x 70 cm frame, as well as a 70 x 60 cm frame. Its 10 steps reach ceiling heights of up to 290 cm.

How much floor space is needed to unfold the EVIRES 26?

Allow 195 to 210 cm of floor space, depending on the frame, and 220 to 245 cm of clearance to open the hatch and unfold the ladder.

Which loft ladder is suitable for a small ceiling opening and a small room?

If floor space is limited, a space-saving model such as the NOZIERES 26 or 46 takes up 101 to 135 cm when unfolded, but requires a frame of at least 80 x 60 cm and reaches only 265 cm.

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

Choose the frame to fit the ceiling opening: its dimensions correspond to the opening needed, allowing approximately 5 mm around it for installation. Measure the existing opening, or the one you can create between the joists, then choose the closest frame size that does not exceed it.

Do I need to cut a loft ladder to length?

Yes, in most cases. The ladder is supplied for the maximum ceiling height and is cut at the bottom so that the final section rests flat on the floor. Measure the ceiling height, unfold the ladder and cut it according to the instructions.
