Alternatively, if you want to order your components indivdually then click here and follow the below guidance.

1. Choose your hardware type

There are five different options to choose from depending on what your needs are:
1. Full rolling
2. Hook rolling
3. Corner rolling
4. Hook-over
5. Basic Hook On

2. Work out what you need

The most important thing to determine is the ladder height and the height at which you want to mount a rail onto your bookcase or cabinetry. Choose from a range of standard height ladders which have a predetermined height rail or opt for a custom height ladder.

*Make sure your order includes ladder tread support rungs. These are metal rods that sit underneath each ladder tread giving your ladder strength and support.

3. Decide how long you want your rails

This is the side to side width that you want your ladder to slide along. Choose from 6ft rails or 8ft rails which can be joined together using a joining kit to create longer rails, or cut them down on-site to the perfect size

4. Add your brackets and end caps

Once you have decided how many rails you want you will need to work out how many brackets you need to hold up your rail. There should be a gap between brackets of no more than 3ft (914mm). Finish off your rail exposed ends with an end cap kit.

5. Optional Accessories

Choose from some optional extras that will take your ladder to the next level. Add a wooden hand rail on both sides of your ladder or some grip treads to give your ladder steps more grip.

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. 

All of the library ladders are 16 inches (406mm) wide. The size is comfortable to climb, but not overbearing in the room.

We sell standard height ladders from 8 feet to 13 feet. Depending upon which height suits your space, there is a recommended rail mount height (see our online chart) to ensure comfort and safety. If the standard sizes are unsuitable for your space, you can order a made to measure ladder.

There is plenty of information on our website including a Guide to Ladders, Installation and Assembly instructions and an Inspiration Gallery to help you decide.

When the ladder is in the angled climbing position it will protrude into the room by approximately 79cm.

All of the ladders can be docked vertically when not in use. A clever slider is built into the same mechanisms at the top of the ladder to allow for this.

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.

You should feel completely safe when you are using one of the Quiet Glide ladders, therefore it is of the utmost importance that the 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. The warranty is based on the ladder and the hardware being installed in accordance to the fitting instructions.
