Fire escape ladder from Housegard that provides a quick and safe escape route from the second floor in case of fire. With a length of 4.5 meters, the ladder is designed for two-story homes and can be used when a window is the only possible way out. It is easy to store in its included storage bag and can be quickly hung over the window frame when needed.
Quick to set up
In an emergency, it is important for the evacuation to happen quickly. The fire escape ladder requires no permanent installation, but hangs directly over the window frame. The sturdy hooks keep the ladder in place and provide stability during evacuation.Non-slip steps for safe evacuation
The fire escape ladder is made of aluminum and equipped with non-slip steps. This provides a safer foothold on the way down and makes it easier to climb down in a controlled manner from the window to the ground. The fire escape ladder also has rounded corners and edges for gentle use against both hands and the facade.
Designed for the second floor
With its length of 4.5 meters, the fire escape ladder is intended for evacuation from the second floor. When not in use, it takes up little space and can be easily stored within reach in its included storage bag near the window intended for use as an escape route. The fire escape ladder should not be stored in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 50°C degrees.
Tested for high load
The Housegard fire escape ladder is recommended and approved for a maximum load of 200 kg. The construction has been tested for loads of up to 450 kg. The ladder is a complement to the overall fire safety in the home. Make sure you always have a functioning smoke detector, fire extinguisher, and fire blanket at home.
Note! The fire escape ladder fits in window frames that are 15 cm to 34 cm wide. The window must be able to open fully and the window frame must be able to withstand the possible load it may be subjected to. The fire escape ladder should not be used in a window that is directly above another window on the first floor. The metal ladder may risk breaking the window on the first floor.
Inspect the ladder approximately 2 times a year for damage, wear, or signs of aging. The ladder will weaken over time and should be replaced for your safety after 6–8 years.
