Stepping up storage space with Keylite
Are you struggling for storage at home? With a lack of excess space in many modern homes, homeowners are looking towards their loft in a bid to keep belongings safe and within reach, while keeping other rooms clutter-free.
From family heirlooms and furniture to clothing and festive decorations – a loft can be the ideal place to store some of our most important possessions. However, many of us rarely venture into our attic space due to difficulty in access.
Keylite’s loft ladders are the perfect solution; designed for fast and simple installation, to improve efficiencies around heat loss and even to protect in case of fire.
Colin Wells, Head of Technical at Keylite, said: “Keylite, with its commitment to thermal insulation, airtightness and compliance with industry standards, works with builders to create loft spaces that not only meet current demands but also withstand the test of time.”
Importance of insulation
Given the recent spike in gas and electricity rates, homeowners are increasingly and actively prioritising the importance of well-insulated products in all home renovation projects.
The installation of an insulated loft hatch and ladder is equally as important as the rest of the loft. The colder air in an insulated loft can lead to draughts through any gaps – most often found around inadequately insulated loft hatches.
Loft ladders with high insulation can also prevent heat loss and make sure the right areas in a house are kept warm.
Colin added: “An airtight seal around the loft hatch ensures that warm air is conserved within the living spaces. Opting for loft ladders accredited with a Class 4 rating – the highest standard for air permeability – gives homeowners assurance that they will have a tightly sealed hatch door, helping save energy and consequently, reducing heating bills.”
