attic ladders

Foldable loft access

Attic ladders are retractable stairs that fold or slide into a ceiling opening, providing access to attic space when pulled down and disappearing when not in use.

Most common is the folding type with hinged sections that collapse accordion-style: We installed an attic ladder so we could finally use the storage space.

Also called attic stairs or loft ladders.
