School me on attic ladders. We have a Louisville Ladder aluminum pull down attic ladder. It's rated for 300# (or 350#) but is flimsy. The poor quality hardware has pulled through the panelling. It was installed in 2006 when the house was built. Not much R-factor. I'm trying to decide if it should be replaced or rebuilt. It's located in our hallway on a single story home. Fair amount of storage in attic as well as the HVAC system is split between outdoor & attic space so certainly need reliable access.
If replaced, then I'm leaning toward Fakro LWT thermo attic ladder item 66894, but I don't really know what I'm talking about too much. I would appreciate some good input. US made is always a bonus, but not sure that is possible as the original was made in Mexico.
