Every attic access project has its own challenges, especially when function and aesthetics need to work hand in hand. That was the case with our recent installation in Lebanon, NJ, where the homeowner contacted us through our website with a clear vision — to relocate the attic hatch from a crowded closet to a more practical and visually pleasing location.
Finding the Perfect Spot
Originally, the attic opening was located in a wardrobe area, which made it inconvenient to use. The homeowner wanted it moved to another part of the house but wasn’t sure if it would be possible, as the attic space above was full of roof supports, ventilation pipes, and other mechanical systems.
After a careful inspection, we found the ideal spot — a corner of the guest room, offering enough clearance for both the opening and the ladder operation.
Choosing the Right Ladder for the Space
Because the new opening was going to be in a finished living area, it was important to choose a model that blended beautifully with the interior. The perfect solution was the FAKRO LST Scissor Attic Ladder — a stylish, compact model that combines functionality, excellent insulation, and a discreet white finish.
The pre-painted white hatch and slim, matching trim allowed the ladder to blend seamlessly with the ceiling. Its high insulation value ensures that no warm air escapes into the attic, keeping the home energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.
Although slightly more premium than standard models, the homeowner prioritized quality and aesthetics — and the result spoke for itself.
A New Opening, a New Experience
We created a completely new opening, reinforced the frame, and installed the ladder with precision to ensure smooth operation and a perfect fit. The clean finish made the new hatch look like it had always belonged there.
The best part? The younger members of the household were so excited about the new addition that they rushed to explore the attic as soon as the installation was complete — proof that even a small home improvement can bring a lot of joy!
Functional, Beautiful, and Built to Last
The FAKRO LST scissor ladder not only improved attic accessibility but also enhanced the home’s comfort and appearance. It’s a perfect example of how Atticcraft combines safe accessibility, energy efficiency, and modern design in every project.
