Full Product Overview
The FAKRO LWL Extra Folding Wooden Loft Ladder is a premium three-section wooden loft ladder designed to provide comfortable loft access with improved insulation, additional hand support and easier operation.
Its standout feature is the integrated gas-assisted unfolding support mechanism, which helps reduce the effort required to fold and unfold the ladder. This makes it particularly convenient for homeowners who access their loft regularly.
Unlike basic wooden loft ladders, the LWL Extra incorporates two handrails, including an additional handrail on the middle folding section. These provide additional support when climbing and descending, improving comfort during everyday use.
The ladder is supplied with a white insulated hatch containing 50 mm of insulation, providing a U-value of 0.74 W/m²K. A double peripheral sealing system helps reduce unwanted draughts and heat transfer through the loft opening.
The wooden ladder incorporates substantial 80 mm deep non-slip treads, positioned at 250 mm intervals. The treads are set flush with the ladder strings to provide secure footing.
The three-section folding design allows the ladder to be stored neatly above the ceiling when not required, while protective stile ends help protect the floor beneath.
Available in hatch sizes suitable for ceiling heights up to 2.80 m or 3.05 m, the LWL Extra provides flexibility for different domestic loft access requirements.
With a 160 kg maximum load, EN 14975 compliance and a convenient assisted opening mechanism, the FAKRO LWL Extra is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a comfortable, insulated wooden loft ladder.
