Specifying Loft Ladders

Description

The aim of this CPD seminar is to provide architects and designers with all the information they need to specify the most suitable loft ladder for their project.

With a greater focus on fire-protection and environmental performance of buildings, identifying the correct loft ladder has become much harder. Getting the specification right will ensure the health & safety of the building's occupants is improved, suitable fire-protection is maintained and costs are kept to a minimum.

The seminar will explore the types of loft ladder available and the applicable industry standards. You will then be guided through the important considerations when specifying a loft ladder, including identifying who will be using it, the size you need and the space available, environmental performance, fire safety and security.

We also take a look at some specialist applications for loft ladders and the associated factors to consider.

We then wrap up with some real-life case studies, which help illustrate the points covered throughout the CPD seminar. The case studies also highlight the diverse range of applications for loft ladders and the challenges that architects and designers may encounter.
