Fire Rated Loft Hatch

Combining clean lines, strength and therminsulate core construction, These Fire Rated Loft Hatches fully comply with Building Regulations Document L1 and L2 (2002), to offer fire protection of 1 hour duration ( 2 hours available on special request )

Suitable for both domestic and commercial loft access, the hatch with its robust 1.2mm zintec mild steel door tray and frame is designed to fit between 600mm centre trusses. Standard sizes are 530 x 630mm, 535 x 695mm and 530 x 745mm, with special sizes and styles available to suit most applications.

The aesthetically pleasing finish is a lightly textured, white polyester powder coating that blends in with most installations, and which, if required, can be painted over to match existing décor. The door tray is supported along its short length by two removeable pivot plates and locked by a concealed key operated budget lock.

In common with all our loft hatch products both sizes have straight forward installations. The opening should be lined with 10 or 12.5mm thick plasterboard, although where space is at a premium, any suitable insulating material can be used to protect the truss from heat transfer from the metal frame. The frame is secured with 50mm screws through pre-punched holes with picture frame as standard.

A beaded frame for tape and joining on site, push up fire rated panel and a high security locking option are also available on special request.
