APART FROM HAVING AN AMAZING BOOKSHELF IN YOUR HOME, WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO INSTALL A LADDER?
We have always been voracious readers and the book collection in our house has grown extensively over the years. I admire beautiful libraries, either private or public and for me ladders are part of it. I wanted a library ladder as long as I am collecting books. When we moved into our newly renovated house with 3.6 metre high ceilings the opportunity finally arose. I built new floor to ceiling shelves spanning across the whole wall with a library ladder. DID YOU HAVE OTHER IDEAS FOR THIS AREA OR WAS A LADDER THE ONLY CONTENDER? Definitely the Ladder, and I am quite excited about it. It works great. WHY DID YOU DECIDE NOT TO HAVE ANY WHEELS/NON-SKID FEET ON YOUR LADDER? The wheels take up quite a bit of space, which is rare in an inner city house. I decided to try without, leaving the option to add the wheels later if necessary. I am very pleased that it works perfectly without. I just lift the bottom of the ladder a bit off the floor and move it along. It might not be for everybody or for a commercial application, but I like it. WHILE RESEARCHING ROLLING LADDERS, DID YOU COME ACROSS ANY OTHER COMPANIES THAT COULD HELP WITH YOUR PROJECT? IF YES, WHAT MADE RHP'S PRODUCTS STAND OUT FROM THE REST? There is not much choice for Rolling Ladder Hardware in Australia. Your Product was one of the few that provided the quality I was after. I also looked at ways to make the hardware myself, in the end I went with your professionally made product for easy installation and use. HOW LIKELY ARE YOU TO RECOMMEND RHP TO A FRIEND, COLLEAGUE AND OR PURCHASE FROM RHP AGAIN? As a interior architect the quality and functionality of the products I specify is important. It was great to use the hardware on my own sliding ladder first. I now perfectly understand how it works and would definitely specify it again if the need for a Rolling Ladder arises on one of my projects. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE? I will consider your other products if needed. They are quite special in the Australian Market. |
