A loft ladder was required for a new build home in Southern France to give access to a loft via a wall hatch located 2.7m up from the floor. Elite Vertical Loft Ladder proved to be the perfect solution.

Upstairs, above the second bedroom, is a loft accessible from high up on the wall of the main bedroom which has a vaulted ceiling. This would need a bespoke set of steps to reach the loft door. The Elite Retractable Vertical Loft Ladder operates independently of the door and its steps stack in concertina mode immediately behind the door. So they take up barely any floor space in the loft.

The Elite is now installed in our loft doorway and performs beautifully. The movement of the Elite is smooth and controlled. When climbing up or down, the deep wide treads feel more like a staircase than a ladder and the hand rails offer reassuring support.
