Available in different lengths, materials and styles, these ladders are commonly used in multi-story homes, apartments and finished attic spaces. Understanding the different types of fire escape ladders and how they fit your home layout can help you be more prepared for emergencies. Lowe’s offers a range of options designed to support different window heights and household needs.
