Although the product itself is water-proof, you will need to consider how you are going to finish/paint the panels or mouldings, especially if you intend on using them as shower panels or in very wet areas. For example, we would suggest using a durable, washable acrylic based eggshell paint, by brands such as Johnstones. Or have a PU sprayed finish applied by a professional decorator.

The standard 3D wall panels do not have any Fire Rating, but the products can get the UK equivalent to Class 1 when coated with intumescent paint.
We suggest sourcing a local decroating professional to apply intumescent paint once you have installed the products. Alternatively you can request that the panels for your project have a coating applied at the factory prior to delivery however to undertake this process there is a minimum order quantity of 400 lengths, a 20% price increase and a longer lead-time (several weeks).
The panels do not have a fire rating but can withstand heat up to 70degrees. If you wanted the panels to achieve the UK equivalent to Class 1 fire rating you would need to paint/coat the panels with intumescent paint on all the surfaces.

Library ladders came into fashion in the mid 1800’s in the homes of the rich and influential – those with enough books to warrant an extensive library. Obviously they were intended for reaching the upper most shelves and were often designed as stand-alone on wheels with ornate hand carvings on the railings. The Victorian examples look bulky when compared to the elegant designs we sell at the Library Ladder Company.
These days a library ladder can be used in any room of your home as both a functional and stylish addition. Our library ladders can be purchased in standard and bespoke heights and are available in unfinished red oak or walnut so that you can paint, stain or lacquer them as you wish. We can guarantee the highest quality finish, fixtures and technology and are proud of the safety features that ensure a fantastic product that stands the test of time.
The term ‘rolling ladder’ refers to the rolling motion of the top of the ladder fixing along the rail and any ladder equipped with castors. Full rolling ladders are superior to ‘hook over’ ladders that do not include the Quiet Glide technology that allows for the ladder to glide along a rail.
Our classic rolling ladders are made to the highest quality specification with two rollers on either side of the ladder, braking wheels at the base of the ladder and an effortless roll along the rail. Rails are not hollow and are made from solid extruded aluminium. The hardware allows you to stow the ladder vertically.
To order your ladder you can use our easy to use bundle builder where you can select different sizes, hardware types and colour options to build the perfect ladder for your project and get an instant price online.
If you want to purchase individual components/spares you can shop the ladder and hardware components separately.
At The Library Ladder Company we sell three different types of rolling library ladder. The hook rolling library ladder is a fitted with hooks to enable you to unhook it and move across to a different rail. If you have more than one library bookshelf, a large wine cellar or extensive dressing room, this is the perfect option. By contrast, our full rolling library ladder is attached to the rail and has two quiet glide rollers on each side of the ladder. The high quality technology allows for a smooth and silent roll from side to side along the solid extruded aluminium rail. Our swivel rolling hardware is perfect for gliding around corners, so if you have a curved bookcase or banister, this is the ladder hardware system of choice! The ladder is attached to the rail and the swivel technology allows the ladder to roll around a curved 90 degree corner rail. All of our ladders include braking wheeled feet for maximum safety and can be stowed way in a vertical position when not in use. Find out more about our ladder range online and use our easy step by step guide to place your order here.
We want you to feel completely safe when you are using one of the ladders, therefore it is of the utmost importance that our library ladders are safe and made of the highest quality. All of the ladders have been designed with built-in braking safety wheels that automatically lock the ladder in place as you climb it.
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 issued by the Quiet Glide manufacturer.
Depending on the overall design of your room and the function of the ladder, you may wish to unhook it from the rail altogether and stow it away, which a hook-over type allows. The rolling ladder will remain attached to the top rail, but can still be stowed away vertically when not in use.
