About this deal
Being lightweight is an important benefit for many homeowners looking for convenient everyday use from their loft ladder.
We recently bought our new house at auction, which suffered the terrible fate of burst water pipes, which flooded the property and wrecked the old plaster gyprock ceilings.
We are not licensed builders, and we strongly recommend consulting with qualified professionals before making any decisions regarding loft conversions or related projects. I had all sorts of problems when it turned out that the loft opening was crooked and my carefully constructed new hatch just didn't fit.
Choose from hinged loft latches, drop-down loft hatches, galvanised steel loft hatches, plastic loft hatches and 60-minute fire-resistant loft hatches.So it still looks solid but doesn't hurt too much when some idiot lets it slip off the pole when opening and decides to stop it with their head. Note, I made mine with longer lengths on the front and back that can be cut off later once the joists are marked.
