June 20, 20215 yr Very exciting, house is really getting there now! Have discovered things I overlooked and among these - access to the loft. Foolishly didn't give thought to loft hatch size and the one that came with our (Scotframe) kit is too small for regular use. We have little storage and plan to use the uninsulated attic as a big cupboard so will access it perhaps every couple of weeks. Don't want to create a cold spot in the ceiling so am looking for a well insulated hatch with a good seal, preferably with a good quality ladder. Max length 1150. Budget is tight! Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
June 20, 20215 yr I fitted one of these, are you looking for something better-insulated? https://www.keyliteroofwindows.com/products/loft-ladders/

Not clear if it has any added insulation? Lower part of building is constructed from SIPs panels and this will be over the biggest warmest room, so I reckon I'll lose a fair bit of heat if not well sealed and insulated...?
June 20, 20215 yr Got one of these and it is insulated and more importantly air sealed - seems to do a decent job https://www.toolstation.com/tb-davies-eurofold-timber-loft-ladder/p53695
June 20, 20215 yr the door is basically a sheet of 30mm PIR with timber edging and hardboard cladding IIRC
