Fakro LWB Wood Attic Stairs vs EASY STEP Insulated Wooden Attic Ladder

Both are insulated wood attic ladders sized for the same 22.5 x 54 in. rough opening, so the choice comes down to ceiling height and load. The Fakro LWB is built for a 7 ft. 10 in. ceiling and carries 350 lb, with non-slip steps, handrails and a weather-seal gasket. The EASY STEP fits ceilings from 8 ft. to 9.18 ft. and holds 330 lb, with a 1.03 in. insulated hatch sealed on both sides. Buy the Fakro for a lower ceiling and a bit more capacity; buy the EASY STEP if your ceiling is 8 ft. or taller.

• Choose the Fakro LWB if your ceiling is around 7 ft. 10 in. and you want the higher 350 lb rating with handrails included.
• Choose the EASY STEP if your ceiling falls between 8 ft. and 9.18 ft. and you want a thick double-sealed insulated hatch.
