Cleaning and maintaining high ceilings with combination ladders

Image
Hi everyone,  Have you seen our new blog post? if not here is an extract. Carrying out ceiling maintenance is tough, even when working on a standard height ceiling. Some ceilings are low enough for a tall person to paint with little more than an outstretched arm, but anything above that requires significantly more equipment to get the job done. When it comes to high ceilinged rooms and buildings, thorough preparation and appropriate equipment is required. Attempting to clean or maintain a high ceiling without the right equipment is nothing less than dangerous, so it’s important to be prepared. There are a couple of different options available for anyone looking to carry out maintenance on a high ceiling. Professionals who carry out clean and carry out ceiling maintenance regularly may be best served by a scaffold tower. Scaffold towers offer a completely stable platform on which to work with various tools. However,  combination ladders  offer an easier and more convenient opti

Hi everyone,  Missed this blog? Here's a bit for you to read. For many professionals the scaffold tower is one of the most important pieces of equipment they use at work. Scaffold towers have developed as a more suitable, practical alternative to ladders in many situations. Not only are scaffold towers generally stronger and more stable, they can also be used to provide a safe working platform at greater heights than conventional ladders. But what sort of considerations should be taken into account when preparing a scaffold tower for a work site, whether that’s in the home or in a commercial setting? If you haven’t set up or used a scaffold tower before, you probably won’t know exactly what to consider beforehand, so we’ll run through the process below.

Top 3 benefits of a combination ladder

Image
Hi all, Missed this blog? Don't worry here's a bit for you to read. Ladders are an essential piece of equipment in all work environments, and even at home. They allow users to safely reach places that they wouldn’t be unable to under normal conditions. Not all ladders are the same though. Some are built with specific uses in mind. Take the step ladder, for example, which is designed to offer users a small amount of additional height so that they can carry out simple tasks. Some ladders, however, are designed to work well in multiple different scenarios by combing the features of other ladder types. Extension ladders offer the standard capabilities of a conventional two-legged ladder, but provide added reach thanks to an extendable section. This can make a massive difference to a user who is likely to use the ladder in multiple different scenarios.

Sliding loft ladders vs folding loft ladders

Image
Hi Everyone, Missed a recent blog? Here is an example. Although it may sound simple, there are a number of different factors to bear in mind when choosing the right loft ladder for your home or workspace. Not only does the material a loft ladder is constructed from have an effect on its performance and aesthetic appeal, the extension mechanism it uses will also make a big difference to its practicality in various situations. There are two main overarching categories of loft ladder – fixed and extendable. As their name suggests, fixed loft ladders remain in place and cannot be retracted or removed without being dismantled first. This type of loft ladder remains in place so that the loft can be accessed whenever needed. The other type of loft ladder is the extendable loft ladder or pull down loft ladder, which extends and retracts into the loft via a hatch. This extension and retraction mechanism allows these space saving loft ladders to be conveniently tucked away when not in u

There are a number of different loft ladder mechanisms which each have their own pros and cons in certain situations. From the complex extension mechanism of concertina loft ladders, to the simple but reliable sliding loft ladder, there are different options for different needs. But the choice isn’t just about the extension mechanism. There’s also the material the loft ladder is made from to bear in mind. Besides the odd plastic loft ladder, which is less than ideal, loft ladders are usually either made from aluminium or wood.

Your questions answered: Loft ladders

Image
Hi All, Miss our new blog post? Read this. As all homeowners know, storage space, although not a glamorous subject matter, is up there as one of the most important requirements when it comes to choosing a home. From cupboards to garages, the more people you have in your home, the more spare space you surrender to storage. There are many inventive ways to maximise storage space in the home, but one of the most common, which many homeowners are fortunate enough to have access to, is the loft. Unless you’re a bungalow owner, chances are you use your loft for storage. Loft space is a useful result of owning a home with an angled roof, and there are many different ways it can be put to use. Some homeowners choose to develop their loft into living space, decorating the interior, adding skylights and turning the space into an extra bedroom. Even if the loft space remains a storage space, the issue of access is a key concern. If the loft can’t be accessed easily, it not only adds stre
