Information On The Dimes Range Of Loft Ladders

It took a fair bit of detective work to track down the home of Dimes loft ladders. A search in Google reveals that there are plenty of loft ladders available from this company, but the actual website wasn’t easy to find until it became clear that it was based in Italy.

Once you’re onto the website itself – at www.dimes.it – and you have translated it into English, there is plenty more that you can find out about this outstanding company. Let’s see what else we found out.

What types of loft ladders does their range include?

Make no mistake, you won’t be getting a cheap loft ladder if you buy one with the Dimes name stamped on it. But what you will be getting is the best in loft ladder operation. These are not the type to be pulled down manually. At the touch of a button your loft ladder will fold down from the ceiling and stretch into place perfectly.

As the loft ladders Dimes creates are electric in nature, you will be paying a much steeper price for them. Expect to pay a couple of thousand pounds, give or take, for one of these ladders. It depends on who you buy it from and what model you opt for.

For example you can opt to buy your ladder with a wall switch to operate it with. Alternatively you can go for a remote control, but this will cost you an additional sum. As such you do have a certain amount of control over the price, but you are still looking at well into four figures for the ultimate loft ladder.

They are usually made for more than one size of loft hatch as well, so you will need to be sure you pick the right one for your own requirements. In addition to this you should be aware that you can also choose from one or two handrails. One is usually included as standard.

Why should you think about choosing a Dimes loft ladder?

Firstly there is quite a lot of versatility within the design. For example you have all the choices we have indicated above, with choosing the number of handrails you want and the number of wall switches you need as well.

In addition to this you are getting the best operation possible as well. You don’t have to manually pull the ladder down, which is ideal if you have limited strength or mobility in this sense.

The workmanship is also excellent, and the company is well known for producing the best loft ladders that are electrically operated. Finally they are built for heavy duty purposes, so if you are intending to go up into your loft on a daily basis, you will certainly get your money’s worth out of a Dimes loft ladder.

What should you expect from their website?

Well once you are into the English version of it you can click on the ‘kit stairs’ option on the home page. From the following page you will need to select the ‘stairs in assembly kit’ option that appears on the right of the page.

We’re getting closer to the loft ladders we want at this stage, but there is one more selection to make. Click on the ‘quick line’ selection and you will reach the page you want. This shows you a concertina style loft ladder that is presented in a nice close up on that page. You will also be able to read a paragraph of information that describes the product in more detail.

In addition to this you will find a link at the bottom of the page which takes you to an online PDF catalogue. This is in Italian, but you can still read all the measurements and see the pictures of the concertina loft ladders they sell.

Of course it is also worthwhile looking on British websites that sell the Dimes loft ladders. When you find listings for the ladders you like, you can check all the dimensions and work out which one will be the best one for your needs.

In conclusion

Dimes may be Italian made but they are certainly exceptionally popular in the UK. Their home base means you generally have to wait longer to get hold of your ladder, but the time is worth the wait. You could always get a cheaper alternative while you are waiting.

In the end, if you want an electrically operated loft ladder, Dimes is really the best solution for you.
