Sliding loft ladders vs folding loft ladders

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 use. Not only does it free up space in the room below the loft, it also gives the room a much cleaner appearance.

Is this the most dangerous step ladder ever?

Hi Guys, This ladder looks cool, but I certainly wouldn't like to be the one going up it... This image will be familiar to fans of Harry Potter’s Order of the Phoenix where the image of the snarling caretaker Argus Filch climbing a teetering 100 foot stepladder to nail the Orwellian Proclamations to a stone wall is repeated quite often throughout the film. Perhaps a good lesson to us all – not to repeat what we see! Unfortunately there will be no potentially powerful wizard who comes to our aid to make things all good again!

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
