Application

Loft hatch access, suitable for standard 600 mm joist centres.

Description

Loft access hatches designed and engineered under BS EN ISO 9001. Each loft access hatch is comprised of a frame, that is fixed into a trimmed opening and has a seal to the ceiling, and a hatch door that is thermally insulated and has a flexible closed cell seal between door and frame.


The hinge-down hatch door is made from injection-moulded polypropylene with insulation infill, attached to the frame by two hinges. Twin latches hold the door against the closed-cell gaskets. There is the option of one lockable security bolt or key lock.


Features and benefits:

  • The integral seals significantly reduce water vapour migration into the loft space, reducing condensation risk.
  • The seals also virtually eliminate heat loss by air movement around the hatch door and exceed the airtightness requirement.
  • U-value of 0.35 W/m²K.
  • The hatch provides continuity of thermal insulation at ceiling level, substantially reducing heat loss.
  • Meets or exceeds the NHBC minimum opening size.
  • All Glidevale loft access hatches use insulation which has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five and an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero.
  • Lightly textured scuff-resistant white finish, which blends unobtrusively with a classic brilliant white ceiling.
