- reduce heat loss up to 86% with a DOLLE clickFIX® loft ladder
A clickFIX® loft ladder from DOLLE meets the high energy requirements that characterize the housing market today. Such Loft ladders can reduce heat loss by up to 86% compared to uninsulated Loft ladders. Minimal cold bridges occur because the trapdoor of the loft ladder consists entirely of highly insulating material rather than a wooden structure. Our energy-efficient clickFIX® Loft ladders achieve the best insulation value on the market, and a clickFIX® loft ladder is also built on a click technology that ensures easy installation.
At DOLLE, we always test our loft ladder range, and more specifically, we test the U-value on the entire building component. Therefore, we do not only settle for a calculated value since a calculated value simply gives an estimate and not a desired tested value. In addition, we do not test a loft ladder on just one point, but on the entire product, and in this way the most realistic insight into the insulation performance and heat loss of a loft ladder is obtained
Common to all our Loft ladders is that they are developed with a focus on easy installation, and when buying a DOLLE loft ladder, a detailed installation instructions are always included. However, our clickFIX® Loft ladders are particularly easy to install due to their patented click system. A clickFIX® loft ladder consists of three separate components: casing, trapdoor, and loft ladder, all of which are assembled using a patented click system. None of the components for our clickFIX® Loft ladders weigh more than 11 kg, and both professionals and do-it-yourself enthusiasts will find that a clickFIX® loft ladder is much easier and quick to install than other Loft ladders on the market – also on your own.
When you need to install a clickFIX® loft ladder from DOLLE, you click your ladder onto the casing. You can therefore mount your loft ladder with just 2 treads – first the casing is fixed and then your ladder is clicked onto the casing. The casing and ladder are both assembled and ready to be clicked on – easy loft ladder mounting, right?
With a focus on high quality and functionality, DOLLE has created a loft ladder range that meets your home's needs. DOLLE specializes in Loft ladders, and Scandinavian design and craftsmanship are combined with traditional materials and forward-looking technology to deliver leading, high-quality, energy-efficient Loft ladders. A DOLLE loft ladder is produced in Denmark, and all wood used comes from renewable sources such as FSC-certified® forestry.
At DOLLE, we are constantly expanding our loft ladder range and working on technical improvements and innovative solutions.

Safety and user-friendliness are a particular focus area when we develop our loft ladder range, and common to all our Loft ladders is that they are produced in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
At DOLLE, we want to move the traditional mindset from square meters to cubic meters when it comes to the spaciousness of the home, and when it comes to Loft ladders, it is no exception. There are often many unused square meters in the attic, and our loft ladder range therefore plays a key role in optimizing and utilizing the home's space in the best possible way.
Before launching a new loft ladder, we always test our loft ladders thoroughly to ensure that all our loft ladders meet legal requirements, industry standards and guidelines as well as our own high-quality demands. Our loft ladders are subjected to many different types of tests including insulation capacity, U-value and airtightness to EN 12207. We test the loft ladders strength, repetition testing on closing mechanisms and hinges as well as tensile testing according to EN 14975. Our loft ladders are approved up to 150 kg, but we test up to 265 kg.
Our loft ladders have the market leading U-values and are tested as a building component just like doors and windows. The lower u-value, the lower heat loss and with DOLLE you can get the certificate on our tested U-values.
With the DOLLE clickFIX® loft ladders we have set new standards. You have the security that you will have no thermal bridges from the loft ladder, because the trapdoor consists solely of high-insulating material with no wooden construction. The unique sealing also ensures airtightness allowing us to achieve excellent heat insulation for your home.
The unique sealing system in DOLLE's loft ladders is important as it protects against draft and heat loss. We have developed a sealing system that ensures the gap between the trapdoor and the frame is tight preventing draft and heat loss. Our loft ladders have been tested at IFT Rosenheim according to the highest airtight class 4 - EN 12207 standard.
DOLLE also have a series of fire-resistant loft ladders - REI 45 have been tested according to the new European standard.
REI stands for:
R (resistance) carrying capacity during fire.
E (integrity) ability to keep flames and gases out.
I (insulation) ability to keep warmth out.
The 45 minutes indicates for how long the loft ladder can withstand a fire. Hence the name DOLLE REI 45.
