Plastic Drop Down Loft Hatch 526x526

The Plastic Loft Hatch 526 x 626mm Drop Down (1169) is a durable, insulated ceiling access door designed to provide safe and convenient entry to loft spaces. With a drop-down opening mechanism and airtight, draught-sealed design, this hatch combines practicality with energy efficiency — ideal for both new builds and refurbishment projects.

Product Features/Specifications:

Manufactured from high-impact, white uPVC, this loft hatch offers excellent strength, stability, and an attractive, low-maintenance finish. The hinged drop-down door allows easy access, while the recessed catch provides a flush, modern appearance when closed.

The hatch features an integral draught seal and high-density insulation, helping to minimise heat loss and improve overall thermal performance. Its standard 526 x 626mm opening fits most ceiling joist configurations and complies with current building regulations for loft access.

Detailed Product Benefits:

This drop-down loft hatch is designed for quick and secure installation, with pre-drilled fixing points for easy fitting into timber ceilings. The airtight seal and insulated door panel significantly reduce energy loss, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly access solution.
