Fitted this hatch with a 3 section ladder. One point to be aware of if your joists are less than 200mm thick: The polystyrene insulation is 150mm thick, I had two choices 1) raise the mounting point for my ladder or 2) cut out a notch from the insulation so the legs of the ladder don't make contact with the insulation

I wanted an insulated loft hatch which doesn't protrude from the ceiling too much. This fits the bill

Quick delivery. Very easy to fit and looks much better than the old one. Hopefully a bit warmer with all that insulation as well.

Easy to install. Nice, clean, design looks really good.

I had been looking for a larger than standard hatch for a while to replace a homemade wooden one. The dimensions for this one were perfect. Delivered as promised the next day and easy to fit (although two people are needed - one to hold the hatch while the other screws in the frame). I can't believe the difference having an insulated hatch has made to the temperature in the room. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a larger hatch.

Although our house was only built in 1997 our loft hatch was a really poor fitting badly insulated push up trap. No matter how hard I tried there was always a blast of cold air coming from one side or the other. To top it off the hatch had also discoloured and was a yellowish colour. After lots of research I decided to get the most insulated hatch I could find which as far as I can tell is this model. I ordered on Thursday and took delivery the following day. It's worth noting this hatch has a deep slab of insulation which I did have to notch out to allow it to not snag my loft ladder. Overall I'm really impressed with this loft hatch. It doesn't protrude much and is a lovely clean white colour. The catch has a lovely smooth action and the seals around the frame have eliminated the cold blast of air we used to get from our previous hatch. Our landing feels much warmer than it ever used to. As I don't use the loft much, I preferred to have better insulation. If I used my loft more often I'd have gone for a lower insulation value model which has a shallower slab of insulation.

Quick delivery and easy to fit. Flush fitting is so much better than the old loft hatch. Neat product. Thanks.
