Hi Guys,

Do you know how to choose the perfect loft ladder?

For many homeowner’s space is a limiting factor and making the best use of what is available is important. Expanding the existing footprint of their home is often impossible for a variety of reasons.

Most modern homes simply lack the land to build on and few homeowners have the skills or the inclination to take on such a project themselves whilst hiring professionals is usually very expensive. This, along with the mess and disruption any building project entails is enough reason to look for other alternatives. 

Moving to a new house is one solution but many people lack the budget, especially in the current economic climate, or simply don’t want to leave home they’ve settled into. Luckily, most homes have a loft of one kind or another that can be put to use in this event with the minimum of work and expense.

Hey all,

Do you ever wonder who invetned the ladder? Well now’s your chance to learn!

A ladder is something we all pretty much take for granted nowadays with one in almost every garage. How often does it cross your mind where the invention came from? They started out as wobbly structures made of grass!

Ladders are ancient tools and technology. A ladder is depicted in a Mesolithic rock painting that is at least 10,000 years old, depicted in the Spider Caves in Valencia, Spain.[3]references the rock painting which shows two naked humans carrying baskets or bags that are employing a long wobbly ladder, which appears to be made out of some kind of grass, to reach a wild honeybee nest to harvest honey. Modern ladders are believed to have been conceived by Hebrews and Egyptians.

Hey Everyone,

Thinking about upgrading that loft hatch? We have the perfect advice for you!

Many householders don’t think twice about their loft hatch and how much heat is lost through the gaps of a poorly fitted door or even straight through the door itself.

Before you add more insulation

Before you consider adding to your insulation in your loft, think about your loft door. Has it ever been replaced? Many homes have a loft hatch that has heat wasting gaps around the edges or is nothing more than a thin piece of wood.

Hey Everyone,

Here are the safety regulations when buying a ladder.

Before purchasing a ladder it is important to understand exactly what you are buying. Not taking any notice of essential information such as kite-marks, certifications or safety regulations can lead to serious injury or even death when the ladder is in use.

To begin with, you need to purchase a ladder which is suitable for your needs. If you require a ladder to be in almost constant use, then an industrial ladder would be most suited to your needs. If you are a trades person or need a ladder for use around your home then you need to be looking for the EN131 certification which certifies the ladder is safe for regular usage.

Hey Guys,

What do you think about this?

Obviously this scenario very much depends on whether or not you are superstitious! If you aren’t then clearly you won’t care whether you have walked under a ladder or round a ladder!

So where does the superstition arise from?

Well you could apply the boring explanation that by walking underneath a ladder you risk getting a tin of paint on your head or something fall on you but there is a rather more deep reasoning why people absolutely will not walk underneath a ladder!
