If you have a loft space in your home, it’s probably underutilized. To make a loft more accessible and functional, a sturdy and safe loft ladder is essential. A loft ladder can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, aluminum, and fiberglass. Wood, however, remains the most popular choice for many homeowners. Wood is warm to the touch, attractive and durable. It can be painted or stained to match your décor, and it only gets better with time. In addition, it requires practically no maintenance. The best types of wooden loft stairs are those made using traditional carpentry techniques, such as dovetail joints. Here’s some information about a quality tall ladder from Titan: the exclusive 3-part folding model.
