Insulation and U Values explained

❑  This loft hatch has a choice of three insulation options. The thermal efficiency of insulation is defined by its U Value, the lower the number the more effective the insulation.

The insulation values for the loft hatch range are listed below by model reference:

❑  PD35 - U Value 0.35 (Complies with Part L of Building Regulations)

❑  PD25 - U Value 0.25 (exceeds Part L of Building Regulations by 20%)

❑  PD15 - U Value 0.15 (exceeds Part L of Building Regulations by 80%)

Part L of Building Regulations

❑  Please note the current building regulations for new build properties require hatches to have a U Value of 0.35. You are under no obligation to match this, however, a well-insulated loft hatch can help lower your heating needs and lessen your heating bills and Carbon emissions.

Compatibility with loft ladders:

❑  Please note due to the increased insulation depth of the PD15 if you wish to use this hatch with a loft ladder a distance of at least 250mm deep joists/timber plant combination will be required, if less than you will have to raise the ladder fixing point, with a timber plant.
