How small is the space?
Before we can get started, it's important that you measure the space around your loft hatch so we can help you choose the perfect loft ladder for your small space. Here are some of the key measurements you should take before you start shopping:
- Floor-to-ceiling height
- Floor-to-floor height
- Loft hatch dimensions
- Hatch clearance (horizontal and vertical)
You can find useful graphics to help you gather all the measurements you need in our loft ladder measurements infographic!
Which loft ladders are best for small spaces?
If you're looking for a loft ladder that isn't going to take up too much space, we'd definitely recommend exploring our sliding or concertina loft ladders. These loft ladders are designed to be discreet, easy to manoeuvre, and completely collapsible, so they won't take up tons of space. Many of these ladders are stored on the reverse of the loft hatch, meaning, once they're stored away, they take up no space at all in your home!
Other factors you might want to consider when choosing the best loft ladder for your small space are:
- The material the loft ladder is made from
- The accessories it comes with (eg. handrail)
- The amount of noise it will make (timber ladders tend to be quieter than aluminium)
