Shop Attic Stairs

AW Graham Lumber is the leading provider of high-quality attic stairs in Kentucky for home construction and remodeling projects. Also known as attic ladders or loft ladders, these are critical components for enabling access to a building's attic. These stairs act as a practical, compact, and cost-effective alternative to traditional stairways, allowing homeowners and contractors to easily access the attic area without sacrificing valuable floor space.

How to choose the right attic stairs: Selecting the correct ladder requires attention to dimensions, material, and load capacity. Before purchasing, measure your rough opening and ceiling height accurately. Standard rough openings typically measure 22.5-in x 54-in or 25.5-in x 54-in. It is also crucial to know your floor-to-ceiling height, as standard models often accommodate ranges from 8-ft to 10-ft, with some specialized models reaching up to 12-ft.

Material choice depends on your specific needs:

• Wood: Offers a sturdy, traditional look and feel. It is often the most cost-effective choice and can be painted to match your interior.
  
  
• Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant, making the ladder easier to lift and operate over time.
  
  
• Steel: Provides maximum durability and often features a higher weight capacity.
  
  

You should also consider the weight rating. While standard ladders support around 250 lbs, heavy-duty options are available that support 350 lbs or more, which is beneficial if you plan to carry heavy boxes up and down.

The benefits of installing attic stairs: Attic stairs are commonly utilized for storage, insulation checks, and HVAC maintenance. Seasonal items, furniture, and other household goods are frequently stored in attics to save living space. Homeowners can make use of this extra storage and keep their homes organized with convenient access provided by sturdy stairs. Attic stairs are also vital for installing insulation, which aids in temperature regulation to keep the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Furthermore, HVAC specialists can access heating and cooling systems safely via attic stairs, ensuring that the system runs properly and efficiently.
