"While traditional attic ladders require a standard opening size of 22 1/2" x 54", Werner's Compact Attic Ladder fits into openings as small as 18" x 24". Finally homeowners can enjoy easy access to additional storage space that already exists but has not been used," says Chris Filardi, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Werner.
The Compact Attic Ladder is a three-section aluminum ladder, which easily descends using a specially designed assist pole and can be adjusted to accommodate ceiling heights from 7' to 9'10". It also has a 250-pound weight capacity. This new attic ladder features slip resistant steps, an oversized handrail for additional security, and an assist arm to make stowage easy when the job is done. The assist pole and door hardware are included.
The best news is that the Compact Attic Ladder carries a compact price of $89, making unused storage space easier and more affordable than ever.
The Compact Attic Ladder is part of the newly redesigned series of Werner Attic Ladders that feature a variety of materials, sizes, and retail prices. The series also includes traditional opening Folding Wood Attic Ladders for 8' and 10' ceilings, with a spring design, handrail, extra-deep steps for comfort, and a dovetailed step-to-rail connection for a strong and attractive design. The Wood Attic Ladder also supports a 250- pound load capacity. Pricing for these models ranges from $98 to $160.
The Werner Universal Aluminum Attic Ladder is lightweight, yet supports up to 375 pounds. The sleek new ladder design replaces traditional bulky springs with quiet gas struts and advanced hinge technology for smooth opening and closing. There are two models available for 8'-10' ceilings, one that fits standard attic openings and another designed for wide openings. These ladders also feature wide, slip-resistant steps and adjustable feet to ensure the correct floor-to-ceiling height. Retail pricing ranges from $169 to $370 based on model selection.
"More functional than ever before, Werner's new generation of attic ladders creates an entirely new world of storage solutions for homeowners with a variety of products to meet their specific needs. The user-friendly designs provide the easiest, safest, and most cost-effective way to add storage space to any home," concluded Filardi.
