Product details

The "SD" hinge down steel 60-minute fire rated loft access hatch has a simple design for the contemporary modern house.

Can be operated from floor level with a pole - found in the loft hatch accessory section

With its powder coated zintec steel smooth white maintenance free finish. The loft hatch requires no painting and projects into the ceiling space a mere 8mm.

Once the drop down loft door is opened, the 536x736 and 600x600mm options have a minimum clear opening to satisfy building regulations, and is therefore compliant to NHBC regulations as Chapter 7.2 Section D14 "to a minimum clear opening of 520mm in any direction". This will assist if you have catered for storing sizeable items in the attic.

The loft access hatch is insulated with an exposed fire resistant mineral slab insulation to comply with the building regulations 0.35 "U" value.

The SD loft hatch is compatible with our entire range of loft ladders.

The loft door has a 25mm flange that projects beyond the fitting size. The SD loft hatch has concealed hinges and fixings contributing towards its unobtrusive look.

The loft access door has a neat tri-drive budget lock with an integral chamfer for a smooth closing action. A secure radial pin tumbler lockable version is available (SDL).

The loft panel is fully draught sealed between the door and frame, virtually eliminating warm air leakage and vapour ingress. It also assists with ease of decoration of the ceiling up to the edge of the loft access trap frame.

  • The loft hatch colour is white RAL No. 9010 with 20% gloss.
  • The loft hatch is easy to fit, weighing only 7.6kg, with fitting instructions on the box.
  • UKAS accredited 1 hour fire test.

The SD loft access hatch box packaging is 100% recycled & recyclable.

  • We're complete amateurs but found our loft hatch came with clear instructions and was easy to fit. Like the lock option, which we've kept, and it looks suitably unobtrusive, with a good finish, in our hall ceiling.

    J Burwell Verified Customer 9 months ago
  • Very well made, clearly gives the necessary fire resistance. Looks good too.

    NIGEL OWEN Verified Customer 10 months ago
  • Arrived promptly and is of excellent quality would recommend.

    D Cooper Verified Customer 10 months ago
  • A solid loft hatch, made of good material, doesn't feel cheap. I found it very difficult to find a loft hatch which: A. had a metal opening lock (opening one was plastic and wore down over the years) B. was big enough and C. was well insulated and conforms to building regs. The one thing that dod slightly bother me was that the insulation is uncovered, it would be great just to wrap it in plastic or something to prevent my ladder rubbing up against it and causing glass fibre to shed. An option for an integrated ladder would have been stellar too but we made do
