What are the safety features of attic ladders?

Some ladders have a hatch insulation layer that provides protection against heat loss. Each set also includes long screws and dowels that hold the entire structure in place. When you open the hatch, it slides slowly and gently down a few inches. Therefore, the ladder will not slide down, even if you leave it open with the hatch open. In addition, at the ends of the ladder you will find a rubber support, so you won't scratch the floor.

Should I buy an aluminum or a fiberglass ladder?

We highly recommend you an aluminum ladder. The fiberglass ladder seems sturdy but aluminum is more stable. The fiberglass ladder is good for work at height with the power line. Fiberglass does not conduct electricity, while aluminum does.


Where can we find the best ladder that is made of aluminum?

Of course on our website! Just click on the "attic stairs" tab on our store, then select the filters (panel on the left side of the screen) and select the "aluminum" item in "MORE FILTRES".


How often should you inspect a ladder for damage?

It will be safest for you if you check the ladder immediately after receiving it from the store. Then you can quickly replace it with a new one. However, if you've had it for a few years, it's best to check for damages before each use. But do not worry! Our ladders have a detailed specification, including the maximum load. If you follow the manufacturer's instructions, nothing surprising should happen.


How much does it cost to install an attic ladder? 

The costs vary depending on the professional's experience, the scope of his duties, guarantees, and also depend on the amount of premiums and insurance. But most often the price of assembly starts from $ 300 and up. The upper limit is high, but usually professionals will not issue an invoice higher than $ 1200, when you order a ladder with assembly.


What came first, steps or ladders?

Steps! The steps were first. The oldest stairs in the world are located in Austria in the town of Hallstatt in the local salt mine. They are made of wood. I count about 7,000 Latin. And the ladders are a good few thousand years younger.

You are Great!

Thank you!

Came quickly and worked well!

Good stairs

Stairs are sturdy and attractive. The tread is somewhat narrow. If you’re big you need to be careful but there is a railing to hold on to which is nice. Overall would recommend.

Incredible ladder. My friend who installed it for me thought so highly of it he is going to get one for his house.

Like custom made

This ladder is exactly what we needed to reach our attic without disturbing the console underneath. The quality is top notch with the wooden steps and the ease of pulling it up and down. We ordered the red handrail for extra support. Only question…why is the latch plastic instead of metal?

Nice ladder

Nice ladder, works well. Instructions were good. Was missing one bolt that I needed to go to the hardware store for,but other than that, perfect.

Accurate title

Ladder was easy to install. Only issue we had was setting spring weight. The instructions were not clear on which one to set.

Was what I needed and worked out well

Very nice

Very nice attic steps. No instructions came with it or that could be found on the website. Finally found a video.

Attic ladders and parts

We needed a longer attic ladder length to fit in a shorter space due to prefabbed trusses. The L-ALLE Wooden Attic Ladder worked perfect. Thanks

Ladder purchase

My ladder came in with the plastic cut open and parts missing.

Attic stairs

The ladders are made of good quality materials, the shipping was really fast. I need a few more sets of ladders and I will definitely be buying more from this company.

Shorter than expected

Ladder says 14.5 reach but it was closer to 12. Shipping company they used was terrible. Additionally I submitted an inquiry before I ordered they didn’t respond.

Happy with the ladder.

Only problem I had was that I could never get anyone to answer the phone, I had a couple of questions before I ordered the ladder that I would of liked to talk to someone.

You sent 35.5 x 31.5, I ordered 35.5 x 23.5 please contact me for arrangements to send the size I need. [****] Rich Walls
