Do I need a fire-rated hatch?
In most houses, no. In some flats, three-storey houses and loft conversions the ceiling is part of the fire protection and a fire-rated hatch is needed. We check.
Does an insulated loft hatch make much difference?
It closes one of the biggest single gaps in an insulated ceiling. It also cuts the warm, moist air that leaks into the loft and adds to condensation.
