Fire Escape Ladders - Be Safer This Christmas
Monday, 22 December 2008 14:35
Fire Escape LaddersArticles about fires in the family home don't usually make for pleasant reading at this time of year. Newspapers and other news channels will trot out horrific statistics about Christmas tree fires and the number of deaths due to blocked escape routes, but none of this really matters. You are either going to have a fire in your house, or not and there is no way for you to ever know until it happens.

If it happens to you all the things that you were going to do, like replace fire alarm batteries and buy fire escape ladders will be too late.

So, if you have a minute, and believe me it is worth at least a minute, then I'll tell you what you need to know about fire escape ladders in a nutshell. After that it is up to you. If you are smart you will buy some, moan about the cost and then stick them under the bed in an upstairs room and hope to never see them again. If you do see them again I guarantee that you won't be moaning about how much they cost.

Zarges 3 Part Skymaster Ladder Independent Review
Tuesday, 07 October 2008 11:05
Skymaster Combination LadderVersatile, Valuable and Safe
The Skymaster Combi Ladder Available from Ladderstore.com ..../

The last two years have been an enforced education in ladders for me. Having recently moved to a house built on a hillside, the front of the house is lower than the rear and consequently the heights to which I have had to become used to are greater than on my previous house.
My old single span ladder has had to be retired and I have invested in two long ladders, one for indoors and the front of the house and one for the three storey height of the rear.
All needed for routine maintenance, window cleaning and those occasions when the roof blows off. Not as rare as in some more sheltered spots on the South East Coast!

Buying the Right Ladders
Wednesday, 21 May 2008 11:22
Ladder Buyers GuideIt’s an old adage but you really do get what you pay for. Anyone buying a ladder designed for DIY’ers because it is cheaper will probably find that it won’t last the course if used regularly.

Why? Because whoever manufactured it had to meet certain guidelines that did not include either regular use or any user weight of over 95kg – and that’s total weight including tools, equipment and materials.

So, if the person using the ladder (plus everything they are carrying) is over 14st 13lbs, and using their ladder more than occasionally, they are using the wrong ladder.

Have Fibre Glass Ladders Come of Age?
Friday, 07 March 2008 10:12

Fibre Glass Step LadderLet's clear something up straight away, you can call them 'Glass Reinforced Plastic' or 'Glass Reinforced Polyester' or 'Fibre Reinforced'....or 'Glass Fibre' or simply 'Fibreglass' - take your pick, we call them 'Fibre Glass' ladders. No emails please!

Fibre glass was developed in the UK during the second world war as a replacement for the molded plywood that was used in aircraft radomes, the enclosures used to protect antenna. It's a composite material made when millions of small glass rods, thinner than a human hair, are laid in a sticky, viscous liquid - usually polyester resin - which sets to a hardened laminate. Now think reinforced concrete and you get the idea, a very strong and durable material with countless applications.
