PeterC formulated on Saturday :
I've a largish hatch with the ladder mounted on it. It's 1100x700mm, so a
good source of overhead cooling :-( it's this one more or less:

_x_700mm.html

Now, I can't afford to lose any depth behind the treads - in fact, could do
with more - as me feets too big, so the simple method of sticking on 50mm of
insulation is out.

The only other way I can think of is to insulate the underside, but that
means a lump sticking down from the ceiling!

Any ideas, please?

Could you not mount the ladder fixed to battons, to space the ladder
away from the hatch and then that would give room for insulation?


I bet more heat leaks around the poor seal that most loft hatches have
like the bl**dy Wavin plastics one we have that distorts.

Must get one of these new ones..
