★★★★★ REVIEW - USA

“In my opinion, this is the BEST folding, compact ladder on the market.
Ordering was easy and straight forward... The installation instructions were very clear and easy to follow.”

— Clark H., USA

  • Right or Left Fold 

    Each Prefab Ladder is manufactured specifically as either a Left Fold (anti-clockwise) or Right Fold (clockwise) model.

    Select the direction that allows the Ladder to fold flat against your chosen attachment wall.

    Please choose your fold direction carefully before ordering, as it cannot be changed after manufacture.

  •  With or Without Handrail 

    Add additional hand support with our brushed aluminium Stand-Off Handrail, designed specifically for the Bcompact Fold. It sits clear of the folding structure so the handrail remains accessible while using the Ladder, while still allowing the Ladder to fold neatly back against the wall. 

    Select With Handrail above when configuring your Ladder.

  • Folded flat against the attachment wall 

    This installation shows the 2.1m model with the optional handrail. Shown here in the fully folded position, keeping the floor area clear when access is not required.

Everything you need to know

How is it different to a custom ladder?

The Bcompact Side-Folding Attic Ladder is a ready-made version of our patented folding ladder design.

It is a smart, space-saving alternative to bulky pull-down attic ladders. Each ladder folds neatly to the side, helping you keep more usable floor space while maintaining easy attic access.

This prefab range is ideal if you want a faster, more budget-friendly option than a fully custom ladder.

Natural Bamboo Finish

All prefab attic ladders come in natural bamboo only. They are not available in white, painted, or stained finishes.

Because bamboo is a natural material, and these ladders are batch produced in sections, slight colour variation between parts may be visible. This is normal and part of the natural look of bamboo.

If you need a white or other stain / finish you will need a custom Bcompact solution.

These prefab attic ladders have a fixed step rise of 300mm/11.8" and come in five floor-to-floor height options:

2100mm/82.7"

Need Something Different?
