FAGEOLE Loft Ladder

FAGEOLE Loft Ladder - Adjustable Kit 220-300 cm, Fir, Beech or Oak, 14 Treads

The FAGEOLE loft ladder is delivered as a kit for assembly tailored to your exact configuration. Its height is adaptable from 220 to 300 cm thanks to its cuttable stringers and its pivot-adjustable tread system - the treads remain horizontal regardless of the angle set. It is available in 3 timber species: fir, glued laminated beech and glued laminated oak, and in 4 overall widths: 60, 70, 80 or 90 cm, to be chosen at the time of ordering. Unlike the height, which is continuously adjustable, the width corresponds to one fixed version among these 4 options.

The tread section is thicker than on economy models: 195x34 mm in fir and 190x30 mm in beech and oak - giving it better wear resistance and less deflection under load. The staircase is delivered in 2 parcels (parcel 1: stringers / parcel 2: treads) and does not include a handrail - to be ordered separately.

Main specifications

Packaging

• ✓ Parcel 1: Stringers
• ✓ Parcel 2: Treads

Key points

• ✓ Thick section: 195x34 mm (fir) - superior to economy models (145x28 mm), better wear resistance
• ✓ Height 220-300 cm: very wide adjustment range - covers almost all mezzanine and loft configurations
• ✓ 3 timber species: fir for economy, beech or oak for durability and aesthetics
• ✓ 4 available widths: 60, 70, 80 or 90 cm to adapt the passage comfort to the available space
• ✓ Metal pivots: pitch adjustment without altering the horizontality of the treads
• ✓ 2 parcels: stringers and treads shipped separately - easier handling in confined spaces

Installation advice

The pitch is adjusted by tilting the stringers relative to the treads via the metal pivots. The greater the available run, the gentler the pitch. Adjust and lock the pivots before final fixing. Check the horizontality of each tread with a spirit level after adjustment.

Oak stringers are particularly heavy - plan for two people for installation. Always pre-drill before screwing into oak or beech. Fix the staircase to the floor and upper landing with fixings appropriate to the substrate.

Maintenance and protection

Apply an appropriate finish for the chosen timber species before first use. On raw fir (195x34 mm), an oil-wax or a 2-coat varnish. On beech or oak, a 2-3 coat staircase varnish is recommended for wear resistance. Routine cleaning with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth.

WoodUp tip

The FAGEOLE is the best choice in the loft ladder range for more intensive use: its section of 195x34 mm (fir) or 190x30 mm (beech/oak) is significantly thicker than economy models (145x28 mm), which results in less flex under load and better long-term durability. If your use goes beyond occasional access to a mezzanine, investing in the FAGEOLE rather than the AULAC or the BASSEYRE is worthwhile.

Important before purchasing: the handrail is not included. It must be ordered separately and fitted during initial assembly. The 4 available widths (60, 70, 80 or 90 cm) are fixed versions, not to be confused with the height, which is continuously adjustable by cutting the stringers - for frequent load-carrying use, the 80 cm width is recommended.
