How To Insulate A Loft HatchA method which has often being used in the past was to nail an old sheet over the insulation but a far better, and cleaner looking solution to the problem, is to create a simple box to create a receptacle in which the insulation can be contained. And, building the box, is a very quick and easy job. It’s a job which needs to be done because the hatch must be insulated to ensure maximum energy saving efficiency.
To make the box simply cut four pieces of sawn timber (either 4 or 5x1 inches) and nail into position on the four upper sides of the loft hatch to create an open ended box.
Insulation material, either blanket or loose fill can then be placed inside the box. Enclose the box by nailing a thin sheet of plywood over the top. This creates a fully insulated and sealed unit. Related Articles Or Click here to return to the home page Click here to visit our ONLINE STORE
