DJM Direct DJM26-5 Deluxe 3-Section Wooden Timber Folding Attic Access Loft Ladder with Insulated Hatch
The DJM26-5 is a 3-section folding timber loft ladder built using a traditional sandwich construction method first developed in 1951. Solid pine strings and extra-hard spruce treads are joined with dovetail connections for strength and long service life. An insulated trapdoor with a continuous perimeter seal keeps heat loss to a minimum, making this a practical choice for homes where the loft hatch is a significant source of draughts.
The ladder is EN 14975 certified and arrives pre-assembled, ready for straightforward installation without specialist tools.
Loft Ladder Features
Solid wood construction with dovetail joints
Pine ladder strings and extra-hard spruce treads are joined using dovetail connections, a method that resists loosening under repeated load. The result is a ladder that stays rigid and quiet underfoot through years of use. EN 14975 certified. The timber is also FSC certified (FSC® C022300), sourced from forests managed to strict environmental and social standards.
Non-slip ribbed treads
Each tread is finished with a ribbed non-slip surface, giving secure footing when climbing with both hands free or carrying items. The added grip is particularly useful in low light or when treads are dusty.
20mm insulated trapdoor
A 26mm HDF trapdoor fitted with 20mm of insulation and a continuous perimeter seal achieves a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K. The seal prevents draughts and the insulation cuts heat loss through the hatch, which is one of the most common weak points in upstairs insulation.
Pre-assembled for straightforward installation
The ladder arrives pre-assembled with detailed installation instructions. No specialist tools are required, so a competent DIYer with basic carpentry skills can fit it in an afternoon. A professional installer can complete the job faster still.
TwinActive vapour barrier
An integrated TwinActive foil vapour barrier seals the installation against air movement, certified to EN 12207 Class 4. This prevents warm, moist air from the living space entering the loft, where it can condense and cause damp problems over time.
Value pricing without compromise on build
The DJM26-5 sits at the affordable end of our timber loft ladder range, but uses the same construction methods and materials as our higher-priced models. It is the right choice if you want a properly built timber ladder without paying for additional finishing or accessories you may not need.
Need a longer ladder? Add an extension kit
Extension Kit: For higher ceilings, the extension kit converts the 3-section folding ladder into a 4-section system, adding up to 70cm of reach.
Important: please read before installation
We strongly recommend a professional installer fits your loft ladder. If you choose to install it yourself, inspect the ladder thoroughly for any damage or defects before you begin. If you find any issues, contact our team straight away.
Please note that if damage is found after installation has been attempted, DJM Direct cannot be held responsible.
We have previously had situations where customers damaged a ladder during installation and then claimed it arrived that way. This has caused real difficulty for our family-run business, so we kindly ask that you follow these instructions to protect both yourself and the product.

However, these warranties do not replace your rights under UK consumer law, and you can still seek remedies through us as outlined above.
