richo106 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hi All My next job is to insulate my loft and install a loft hatch My opening is 1200 x 700 and was planning to install this loft hatch: https://www.dolle-uk.co.uk/shop/loft-ladders-clickfix-76g I am aiming for my house to be as air tight as possible and this loft hatch has good reviews but no mention of air tightness Would people recommend me install an airtight loft hatch as well? Could anyone please recommend an air tight loft hatch? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elite Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I went with AT from jupiter blue, but I don't think they go that big. Not fitted yet, so can't comment if it was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richo106 Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 I have looked into this further and realise the only airtight one i can find anywhere near that size is the Wellhofer one and thats 1200 x 600 I decided on the loft hatch size without considering air tightness (naively) and went for the largest size to allow me to get my MHVR in and out the loft if required I might have to install the one I originally based it on and see if i can improve air tightness on the seal retrospectively Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richo106 Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 https://www.dolle-uk.co.uk/shop/loft-ladders-clickfix-76g Still debating just to go for this, I read on another BH post (couple of years ago) that it was tested for air tightness up to class 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
