Polar Extrem Attic Stairs

One of the common issues homeowners face when installing an attic ladder or stairs is the impact on the thermal envelope. Traditional attic stairs often result in air leakage, leading to energy loss and increased heating or cooling costs. However, our new insulated and airtight attic stairs are specifically designed to overcome this problem. They allow homeowners to access their ceiling space without compromising the airtightness of the home, and significantly contribute to reducing energy consumption and maintaining a comfortable temperature within the living spaces.

The Polar Extrem, with its extreme insulation properties, allows homeowners to access their ceiling space without compromising the airtightness of the home and significantly contributes to reducing energy consumption and maintaining a comfortable temperature within the living spaces.

Here are some key features and benefits of the Polar Extrem attic ladder:

• Highly insulated: The loft or attic ladder is constructed with extreme insulation, ensuring minimal heat transfer between the attic and living spaces.
• Air Tightness Class 4: The two-point safety lock system guarantees a high level of airtightness, preventing air leakage and maintaining the energy efficiency of the home. The discreet white cover adds to the overall appearance while effectively sealing the attic entrance.
• Thermal performance: The U-value of these insulated attic stairs is an impressive 0.59 W/m2K. Other thermal performance options are available on request. U-value with ISO upper lid: 0.37 W/m K
• User-friendly design: We have prioritised ease of use with a double-click opening and closing mechanism, allowing for effortless operation. Additionally, the ladder is equipped with a steel safety handrail and stair shoes, ensuring safety and stability during use.
• Fully assembled: Our attic stairs come fully assembled, saving you time and effort on installation.
• Dimensions and load capacity: The maximum room height for our attic stairs is 2800mm, and the ceiling opening size is 1200 x 600mm. With a robust construction, the ladder can support a maximum load of 150kg, providing durability and safety. Other sizes are available on request.

Customer review:

"I recently purchased a set of the attic stairs from 5Merchants after meeting them at the Build Expo last year. I am absolutely delighted with the design, build quality and the beautiful Baltic pine (not rubbish radiata) they are constructed from. 

They are fully draughtproof unlike almost all others on the market. They are a solid piece of kit and the spring assembly is heavy duty and works well. The ladder itself was not painted so I did polyurethane it to prevent it from getting dirty from shoes and boots. These are very good value for money when you see poor quality units for $400 or $500 each."
