If you want to access your attic more easily, installing a loft ladder is a great way to achieve this. A permanent loft ladder saves you the hassle of fetching and setting up a conventional ladder every time you want to go up there - and most loft ladders can be neatly folded away when you're done.
Before you purchase a loft ladder, though, we recommend taking a moment to familiarise yourself with the different types of loft ladder that are available. Here's a quick guide from Ladders UK Direct...
Loft Ladder Types
Aluminium Loft Ladders
Aluminium loft ladders - like the Werner 3 Section Hideaway Ladder pictured above - are lightweight, hard-wearing and easy to handle. They also offer great value for money; if you're on a tight budget, an aluminium loft ladder may be the perfect choice for your home.

Wooden Loft Ladders
Wooden loft ladders - like the Dolle Hoby Loft Ladder pictured above - tend to cost a little more than their aluminium counterparts, and because they're heavier, they're also a little more difficult to unfold and put away. However, wooden ladders are very strong and sturdy, and many homeowners prefer the traditional wood look to that of aluminium.

Concertina Loft Ladders
Concertina loft ladders - like the Columbus Piccolo Premium Loft Ladder pictured above - are easy to unfold and take up very little room once put away. Ideal if you don't have much space available!

Vertical Loft Ladders
Most loft ladders are designed to fit a hatch in the ceiling, but a vertical loft ladder - like the Columbus Junior Concertina Ladder pictured above - instead provides access to an opening in a vertical wall.
