The ladders are high quality, perform effortlessly every time, and come with a lifetime guarantee (if fitted correctly). The range offers countless options, allowing you to create a ladder order that suits your room, interior, and application. Whether you need a ladder to access the top of a bookcase, high-level kitchen storage, or an extra-tall wardrobe, you can build the perfect ladder order for your needs.

• Rolling or Hook Over options for the hardware
• Large range of standard/stocked ladder heights
• Option to order a made-to-measure height ladder if none of the standard ladders work
• Four hardware colour options: Satin Nickel, Satin Brass, Matt Black, and Oil Rubbed Bronze
• Create a rail as long or as short as you need
• Stow the ladder vertically when not in use
• Option to purchase the hardware components separately, for example, if you have your own ladder.

The rolling and hook-over ladders available on the website are manufactured in the USA by American craftsmen and tested 10,000 times to ensure the technology can withstand a lifetime of use. The gliding technology houses a patented design, allowing a beautifully smooth and quiet running mechanism every time.

Ladder System

The clever ladder systems allow you to create orders that fit your needs and are made up of several components. Your ladder sits on a rail, which is mounted to your bookcase or wall using rail brackets, and the rail is finished at the ends with end caps. Depending on the hardware you choose, the ladder will have wheels or feet mounted at the bottom and rollers or hooks mounted at the top. The timber ladder is given extra strength with a support rod and fixings that brace the ladder underneath each step tread.

The timber ladders are from FSC-certified suppliers and are sourced responsibly from suppliers who are active in their efforts to minimise their environmental impact. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) upholds principles for responsible forest management worldwide and ensures supply chain integrity by meeting stringent environmental, social, and economic standards.

You should feel completely safe when using one of the library ladders, so it is of the utmost importance that the ladders are safe and made of the highest quality. All of the ladders with rollers and wheels have built-in brakes that automatically lock the ladder in place as you climb. The technology allows every ladder to be stowed away vertically when not in use to avoid accidents. Each ladder is made of solid wood and has been tested through 10,000 cycle checks to ensure they can withstand a lifetime of use. On this basis, each ladder comes with a limited lifetime guarantee.*

*The limited lifetime guarantee is based on the ladder and the hardware being installed in accordance with the fitting instructions.

Do you want your ladder to roll without lifting it off the floor?

For the most effortless rolling ladder we recommend theFull Rollinghardware or if you want to move your ladder to multiple rail locations then we recommend theHook Rollinghardware.

Do you want your ladder to roll around a corner on a continuous rail?

We have the perfect option for you, theCorner Rollinghardware. This hardware type allows you to incorporate a curved corner section of rail and rollers that allow the ladder to roll around the corner.

Are you looking for a hook-over ladder than does not roll?

We recommend choosing the Hook Over hardware. This clever hardware, sometimes known as the sliding hook, allows you to lift your ladder off the floor and walk along with it, without unhooking it from the rail. This makes it the safest hook option.

If you are looking for a simple hooked hardware then choose the Basic Hook On hardware. This double hook design is a firm fit onto the rail and you will need to take the entire ladder off the rail if you want to relocate it somewhere else along the rail.

How does the ladder arrive?

The ladders arrive unassembled and unfinished. This allows you to apply a stain or paint to your ladder prior to your assembly.

We offer a fantastic range of Mylands Paint colours perfect for painting wood. Choose from over 160 colours and make sure to order paint for 'Wood & Metal'.

If you would rather stain or oil your ladder, Mylands have a great selection of coloured stains and protective oils. See the full range of wood finishes.

We will be launching a new brushed brass finish in 2023, which is a brass plated finish with a brushed/ lightly tumbled texture. This will be the most premium finish option due to the plating process.

We supply in 6 ft (1828mm) and 8 ft (2438mm) which can be joined together or cut down to the perfect size onsite.

The library ladders are available in either red oak or walnut. They arrive raw so that you can choose how you finish them, either leaving them natural, using a lacquer or painting them to suit your scheme.

We stock ladders of a set size which means that you will need to work to those measurements where you install your ladders. See here for a guide to stocked ladder sizes.

If none of these standard sizes work for your project we can make a ladder to your required height measurement. Download the guide to measuring for a custom sized ladder.

If you would like to see a sample of the finish, please email us. Please note that we do not have samples of the Brushed Brass finish.

If you are a handy person with diy experience (can drill pilot holes) you should be able to assemble the ladder yourself. We would recommend getting an extra pair of hands to hold up the rail while you fit it.

If you are not handy with a drill we recommend using a trusted carpenter.

Please download the installation instructions for more information.

The ladders arrive unassembled and unfinished so the first thing you should do is lightly sand the ladder if required and apply your stain or paint using a spray gun or brush.

To assemble the ladder you will need the following tools;

- Pencil

- Spirit level

- Drill and 1/4inch bit

- Screw driver

- Wood Glue

- 2 x 5mm Allen keys

The ladder rails/poles are made from 25mm solid aluminium (not hollow). The finish on the aluminium is a sprayed paint finish and comes in three colours. Matt Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Satin Nickel. (Please note the colour names are descriptive regarding the paint colour)

*Please note that when the rails are sprayed during manufacturing they are held up using hooks, these hooks cause regular marks in the paint on the rear of the rails. Once the rail is fitted these manufacturing marks will be hidden.
