Application

An insulated loft hatch is used to provide convenient access to an attic or loft space.

Description

A metal-faced insulated loft hatch designed to provide access through ceilings into loft or attic spaces while maintaining thermal performance and helping to reduce heat loss in compliance with Building Regulation Part L.

The panel comprises a metal door and 25 mm beaded frame, with a 50 mm polystyrene insulation core and an integral draft seal to improve airtightness. The unit achieves a thermal transmittance (U-value) of 0.760 W/m², making it suitable for use in energy‑efficient building envelopes.
