The Best Builders' Steps - Important Tips Of Choosing Step Ladders For Trade
Step ladders are popular and ubiquitous items in many homes, businesses and on construction sites. With a compact design that suits a variety of materials like wood, aluminium and fibreglass, step ladders also are quite versatile, and if made from aluminium, very easy to manage. From hanging a picture to laying a brick wall, a step ladder is sure to serve you well. Here's some information about one of my favourite step ladders, an aluminium industrial alloy builders step.


Every tradesman is only as good as his tools. It's an old adage but ask any builder and he will confirm that its true. Not having the right tool for the job can lead to sloppy work and angry customers. This is why most builder's have a van full of different tools, often selected carefully for the job they are about to do.


However, while saws, hammers and power tools are not too cumbersome to carry multiple versions, ladders on the other hand are very bulky and few tradesman can carry more than one ladder around with them.

Ensuring the ladder is as practicable and multi-purpose as possible is, therefore, essential if it is going to be of any use for the myriad of tasks that it will be asked to perform.


Extension ladders, while ideal for working at very high locations, for general work they are not very practical. Useless indoors and cumbersome to transport, most tradespeople will only carry around an extension ladder if they know they are going to be definitely using it on that job.


Step-ladders are the desired choice for most tradespeople as they can be used for a multitude of tasks, indoors and out. They are also designed to be easy to transport, folding up as they do, and when using steps you have a handy platform for tools and equipment.
