Why have ladders?
Lofts are mainly used for storage and is a handy space for it, but everytime you need to get up there you need to fetch steps which are inadequate. What could be easier than simply pulling down the loft hatch without fetching the steps, look at the pictures below showing a loft hatch I am fitting at the moment.

Pull on hook to release

The hatch is spring loaded, so it wont come down unless you oull it downwards.
Folded ladders are pulled out. Ladders are lightweight and wooden, I dont install aluminium ladders because they have a tendency to rattle.

Ladders are cut to suit
