Loft Hatch Overview
A loft access trap need not be a design statement. It may blend in with modern decor and we have that aesthetic intention at the forefront of our design considerations. The Access Building Products range of traps has a contemporary unobtrusive look, with clean lines that fits almost flush to the ceiling.

Our entire range has a smooth white maintenance free finish. It compliments today’s strong trend towards smooth plastered walls and ceilings.

The entire Loft Access Trap range is effective and user friendly. It strictly complies with all relevant performance and environmental standards, as follows:

• UKAS accredited air tightness tested without the need for additional sealant between the external frame and ceiling during installation.
• NHBC compliant as Chapter 7.2 Section D14 “to a minimum clear opening of 520mm in any direction”, with “clear opening” referring to the dimensions of an open, installed trap.
• Compliant to Building Regulations Part “L1A” with a minimum overall “U” value of 0.35 (where specified).
• UKAS accredited one hour fire tested (where applicable).

• All box packaging is made from 100% recycled material and is 100% recyclable. Fitting instructions are printed on the box to save paper.
