Lofty Aims For Loft Ladders

Keylite Roof Windows also offer installers a range of compliant loft ladders to tap into the loft storage or loft room market.

Many purchasers of roof windows don’t go the whole hog and plan a full loft conversion. Most still use the loft for storage or as an office or breakout space.

 

Help warmth

When it comes to thermal efficiency, installers know that insulating a loft or attic could result in hundreds of pounds in energy cost savings. However, the colder air in an insulated loft might cause draughts through insulation gaps, such as an inadequately insulated loft hatch with a ladder. That’s why the installation of an insulated loft hatch is advised by the Energy Saving Trust.

 

Quick fit

To give installers a cost-effective and comprehensive solution, Keylite’s range of loft ladders have been designed for fast and simple installation, to improve efficiencies around heat loss and even to protect in case of fire.

Colin Wells, the head of technical at Keylite Roof Windows, says: “Home improvements are key in ensuring people remain in the house they love – improving wellbeing and saving on a costly move.

“Keylite’s loft ladders have been specially designed for ease of fitting – allowing installers to streamline their processes and fit efficiently without compromising on quality. Our pre-installed flick-fit brackets allow installation from below the loft and a detachable ladder enables one-person installation.”

 

Energy efficiency

Wells adds: “Given the recent spike in gas and electricity rates, homeowners are increasingly and actively prioritising the importance of well-insulated products in all home renovation projects. Class 4 loft ladders that meet European Standard EN 14975 give builders a guarantee that they are installing a tightly sealed hatch door, addressing a crucial aspect of energy efficiency.”
