Louisville Ladder S224P Wooden Attic Ladder Review


Finding a loft ladder for your home is easy, finding one that is not only useful, but easy to install is a different story. This is where the Louisville loft ladder S224P comes in. Here's a look.

One of the nicer features of this attic ladder is how it can be used with all types of ceiling heights. Have a 7 foot ceiling? No problem. Have an 8.5 foot ceiling? Again, not a problem. This is not common to other makes of attic or loft ladders.

The dimensions needed for the ladder to fit are only 22.5 x 54 inches, making it a simple fit for smaller openings. This Louisville ladder also features an EZ-Hang strap that is exclusive to their line of wooden loft ladders. This aids in making the install much easier than other models.

Load capacity on this model is 250 pounds, including items being carried up or down the ladder. Again, this is more than adequate in most cases. On models with springs, the tension is adjustable, but on newer models the company has gas cylinders to make it even better for opening and closing.

Steps include a wire rod under each one to give some added strength and support, although I'm not to sure it really makes much of any difference. There shouldn't be any support problems for you on the steps as it is. But this is a nice added benefit that Louisville included.

The Louisville Ladder S224P Wooden Attic Ladder is backed with a solid warranty and meets or exceeds all U.S. Safety Standards as set forth by ANSI and OSHA.  

Reviews on Amazon for this ladder have been very positive. Most users have commented on how easy it is to install, as well as how simple it is to use. All in all, if you're looking for a simple solution for gaining access to your attic or loft area, this loft ladder from Louisville is well worth checking out.
