Energy Efficient Attic Ladder

Old House Authority found this folding attic access ladder far superior to typical attic ladders in terms of energy efficiency, construction quality, and ease of installation.

The door panel is internally insulated with two-inches of rigid foam and features an uninterrupted perimeter weatherstrip, a gas-piston counterbalance (no springs!), and a multi-point, key-operated locking system. Thick wood steps are doweled to the side rails, and the rails are joined with sturdy steel hinges. The system is designed for rapid installation and includes spring-steel mounting clips, integral trim flanges, and pre-finished surfaces that eliminate the need for bracing, casing and painting.
