Century Industries AE-100 Premium Heavy Duty Wooden Attic Stairway Review

The Century Industries AE-100 Premium Heavy Duty Wooden Attic Stairway is the company's top of the line loft ladder. That said, is it your best choice?

This latest addition from Century Industries has a lot of nice features such as a higher than industry average 300 pound load capacity. Although this includes the weight you are carrying up or down the ladder, it is still a higher capacity than found on most other attic ladders of this type.

The ladder itself is made of southern yellow pine wood. This is a very strong and durable type of wood that is designed to last through many years of regular use. This ladder requires a swing clearance of 80 inches and a landing space of up to 70 inches at maximum height.

One of the nicer features with this AE-100 loft ladder is the 1 x 6 x 17.5 inch treads. It's not often you find treads this nice and I compliment the company on providing them. Naturally, hand rails can also be found.

The rough opening that is needed for installation of this ladder is 25.5" x 54" x 10'.3". The heavy-duty springs are fully adjustable and all hardware is included, as well as the door. In essence, it comes fully assembled and ready to be installed right out of the box.

If you are looking for a heavy duty wooden loft ladder for your home, then this is one to add to your list of possibilities. It is well constructed and built to handle vigorous use.

You can find the AE-100 online for a price of less than $250. Amazon currently has the best price and you can find out more by going to Century Industries AE-100 Premium Heavy Duty Wooden Attic Stairway
