Description

A metal-faced insulated loft hatch with ladder designed to provide safe and convenient access to attic or loft spaces while maintaining thermal performance in accordance with Building Regulation Part L.

The unit features a metal door with a picture frame, a telescopic loft ladder, and a three‑point locking system.

The panel is insulated with 50 mm polystyrene insulation sheets (EPS70/SDN) and achieves a U‑value of 0.567 W/m²K to minimise heat loss and improve energy efficiency.

The door leaf is hinged by a full‑length piano hinge to ensure smooth operation of the integrated ladder.

Key features:

  • Picture frame profile for neat ceiling finish.
  • Telescopic loft ladder with nine treads (suitable for ceiling heights 2170–2610 mm).
  • U‑value: 0.567 W/m²K — high thermal performance.
  • Three‑point locking system for secure door closure.
  • Powder-coated RAL 9010 (30% gloss) finish as standard; other colours on request.
  • Non-fire-rated design.
  • Minimum hatch opening 550 × 720 mm.

Installation:

  • Designed for installation into ceiling structures where attic access is required.
  • Ensure structural opening is set to manufacturer guidance prior to installation.
  • Telescopic ladder system allows adjustment for ceiling heights between approximately 2170 mm and 2610 mm.
  • Panels should be installed prior to final ceiling finishes where applicable.
