Is This New Year Time For A New Ladder?
The start of a new year is always a good time to make a change, or to upgrade something in your home. For many of us, spending more time at home indoors is the time when we notice things that need fixing, the accumulation of stuff that needs storage, and the areas of the home that are tired and could do with redecorating. It's also a time of year when we are intimately acquainted with our loft ladders and may feel it's time we got a new one. We might also find our existing ladders aren't fit for purpose – did we need to borrow one from a neighbour to [...]
How Old Is Too Old?
They say you're only as old as you feel, but when it comes to climbing ladders “feeling young” won't cut it from a safety perspective. It doesn't matter how youthful someone feels, everyone is prone to age-related balance issues as our bones start to become less dense. This process starts around age 35 but isn't normally an issue until we get into our late 50s and 60s. At this age, the bones in the inner ear are significantly lighter and therefore less able to detect the changes in pressure and movement that come from being off balance. Hearing is also used in balance – in fact both hearing and vision [...]
Someday at Christmas – Midland Ladders
It's that time of year again where our thoughts turn to Christmas and to family, presents, and those classic songs that invoke the festive spirit. It's also that time of year when we get creative with some of those classics and bring a new, topical lease of life to the lyrics of our favourite yuletide songs. This time we're looking at the Stevie Wonder ballad, Someday at Christmas. The original is a hopeful ode to a world with peace, something we have been short on these past couple of years. While we love the spirit of the original, we wanted to put the Midland Ladders spin on it. Feel free to [...]
Top Hop-Ups
The humble hop-up is a piece of height access equipment that can work in a multitude of environments for a vast range of purposes – it's probably the most versatile piece of kit we sell. Hop-ups are generally manufactured for painters, handymen and decorators who need a bit of extra height with a stable platform for things like hanging wallpaper and cutting in. That said, they will serve in a variety of roles around the home and garden. Hop-ups are essentially the platform part of a stepladder but without all the steps leading to it – most hop-up models have one rung to aid access to the platform although many [...]
