Natural slate in the quarry Slate is a sedimentary rock, formed by layers of clay lying in water over millions of years. Different minerals and metal oxides determine the various colours. Quarrying The slates are manually cracked or split with hammers and chisels along natural fault lines. Ready for delivery Flooring slate cut, sorted and ready for delivery. Note the different colours caused by the various minerals and oxides. Roofing A completed roof in Albertinia, specially designed to follow the contours of the mountains behind the house. Applications The LWK Loft Ladder is a folding loft ladder made of the highest quality pine wood, supplied with an insulated hatch door, red painted metal handrail and stile ends (available only in the 3 section version). The treads protrude beyond the front of the ladder and there is a considerable space between the ladder and the hatch door. Such a design makes stepping into the treads easier, thus increasing the ease of using the loft ladder. The brown stile ends, mounted on the ladder feet, enhance the beauty, project the floor and increase the loft ladder's stability. Design Normally a 36mm thick insulated hatch door is installed with all our loft ladders. The hatch door is a pine wood frame, finished on each side with a white or beige HDF panel and the space between is filled with energy saving foamed polystyrene. The insulation coefficient is 1.1W/m 2 K. The outer side (visible when the door is closed) of the hatch door is smooth with no fixing points visible. The lock and the metal pole supplied make closing the hatch door easy. The mechanism locks the entire ladder in position when open, ensuring it is stable for operational use. The springs can be adjusted to optimise the momentum (force) of the lid when it is being opened. All ladders' hatch doors are fully edge sealed with a sealing strip to minimise heat loss. There is a space between the treads and the hatch for more comfortable foot positioning onto the treads and safety grooves are cut into the treads to prevent slipping. Outer side (visible) of the hatch with the lock installed inside is smooth, so there are no hard ware fixing points visible which could provoke moisture (because of temperature difference) build-up on surface. Ideal tightness between the hatch and the frame is secured by a parameter seal positioned in the groove milled in the frame.
