Premier Loft Ladders for Passivhaus projects.
The drive towards cutting emissions and the enhanced focus on sustainability means buildings constructed to Passivhaus standards are becoming increasingly popular. Choosing the right products for these construction projects is essential, especially when aiming to achieve Passivhaus certification.
Premier Loft Ladders offer two loft ladders – the Designo and the Klimatec 160 – that pass the strict requirements for passive building standards and are certified by the Passivhaus Institut. They are both designed to provide high thermal insulation and an airtight seal. However, what differentiates them from other loft ladders are the extra steps that have been taken to minimise thermal bridging.
Designo
The Designo is an innovative three-part folding wooden loft ladder. It features a high quality six-point locking mechanism for a window-tight seal all the way around the hatch. The Designo also comes with patented sealing and insulation tape pre-assembled to the outside edges of the hatch box, which ensures an airtight seal with the building. Made of tear-resistant material, it also provides thermal and acoustic insulation.
Klimatec 160
Not only does the Klimatec 160 offer superb thermal insulation and an airtight seal, it also benefits from 30 minute fire protection. Furthermore, the high-strength steel ladder is finished in a durable powder-coat and is rated for up to 250 kg per tread. As such, the Klimatec 160 is an ideal solution for commercial and industrial use.
