- What ceiling height does the LST 22/31 fit?
- It is built for standard residential ceiling heights around 8 to 9 feet, with the ladder length set for that range. Check Fakro's height chart for your exact floor-to-ceiling measurement before ordering.
- What rough opening does it need?
- The frame is sized for a 22.5 x 31.5 inch opening. The opening must be square and framed to that size, since the unit drops in as a complete assembly.
- Is it insulated?
- Yes. The hatch and frame carry insulation, which is the main reason buyers pick it over an uninsulated wooden ladder in cold spaces.
- How much weight does it hold?
- It is rated to 350 lbs, which is higher than most wooden attic ladders and covers two people carrying boxes.
- Can one person install it?
- It weighs 84 lbs, so a helper is strongly advised. The unit is lifted as one piece into the framed opening and then fixed in place.
- Does it come with a handrail?
- The ladder has side rails to hold while climbing. Check the box contents for any optional handrail kit before you start the install.
- Where is the Fakro LST 22/31 Scissor Insulated Attic Ladder cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $882.00, as of our latest check.
