February 27, 20206 yr Looking for suggestions for a loft hatch. Ideally want something quite airtight with a half decent level of insulation. Been looking at the airtight Jupiter Blue range which seem to fit the bill but they are tiny. Saw previous suggestions for the Keylite all in one solution but it doesnt seem that well insulated nor airtight. Anyone come up with any better solutions that would allow a larger opening? Happy to have separate ladder set.

February 28, 20206 yr Made my last one myself - flap-down painted plywood on hinges in a lining + architrave (though could have been a sleeker purchased unit). Above that a separate 9mm ply push-up hatch backed with 150mm polystyrene, sitting on top of the lining with weather strip between, plus a Brighton Sash Fastener on each side to lightly clamp it down for maximum airtightness.
