❗ Why Glass Fibre Over Aluminium?
Standard aluminium ladders may be lighter but conduct electricity, posing a serious risk near live currents. In contrast, glass fibre ladders offer insulation, superior rigidity, and are engineered for frequent trade use. This model is safer, stronger, and more professional — with dual handrails and an integrated platform as standard.

FAQs
What exactly are fibreglass step ladders?
Fibreglass step ladders use GRP (glass‑fibre reinforced plastic) stiles instead of metal. The advantage: they are non‑conductive and ideal for electrical hazard zones, damp or corrosive environments, and jobs where safety and insulation matter.
Are fibreglass step ladders suitable for trade professionals?
Absolutely. These fibreglass step ladders meet EN 131 Professional certification, support 150 kg safe working load, and incorporate robust build features. They suit site use, electrical work, maintenance and commercial access tasks just as well as high‑spec domestic use.
How do I pick the right size for a fibreglass step ladder?
For fibreglass step ladders, focus on platform height, number of treads and reach height. Ensure the ladder supports your working height safely, offers a secure platform, and fits your storage/handling constraints. Oversizing or undersizing both reduce efficiency and safety.
Why choose fibreglass step ladders over aluminium ones?
While aluminium step ladders may be lighter or cheaper, fibreglass step ladders provide non‑conductivity (important near live circuits), better resistance to corrosion and site abuse, and often longer service life. For many professional situations, fibreglass step ladders are the smarter investment.
