Werner Eco S Line Timber Loft Ladder (formerly Youngman)

The Werner (formerly branded Youngman) Eco S Line is one of the best mid-range timber loft ladders on the market, and will fit floor to ceiling heights up to 2.81 metres. The solid spruce wood (FSC and PEFC certified) gives it a superior feel, the loft hatch has a clean, white finish or if you want to paint, varnish or clad it, the hinges are hidden making it easy.

The features on this ladder are endless. All of the treads have a non-slip surface for safe climbing and, at 21 mm thick and furnished with doweled joints, they are extremely robust. Opening and closing is enhanced with a smoothening spring counter-balanced mechanism which is effortlessly operated using the timber ‘push/pull’ rod that is supplied with the ladder. Finally, the Eco S Line also comes with a handrail.

If you intend moderate to heavy use of your loft ladder and if appearance, as well as price, are important to you, then you probably won’t do better. All-in-all, the Eco S Line is the full package and one of our top recommendations. Comes fully assembled with loft hatch and all fitting instructions.

The fully insulated hatch comes with a rubber draught seal and a ‘rabbet’ groove finish to ensure extra tight closing which prevents heat loss, downward draughts and saves you money on your heating bills. Manufactured to BS EN14975.

If you are also fitting a LoftZone StoreFloor or StoreFloor Compact raised loft floor above your insulation, then this ladder will work perfectly with that.
