LOFT LADDERS FOR PASSIVHAUS PROJECTS
PREMIER LOFT LADDERS
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 building projects is essential , especially when aiming to achieve Passivhaus certification .
As such , Premier Loft Ladders offer three loft ladders that pass the strict requirements for passive building standards and are certified by the Passivhaus Institute ; the Designo , Klimatec 160 and LWT . They are designed to offer 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 .
Our entry-level passive house loft ladder is the LWT , which features a folding wooden ladder and is available in a range of standard sizes . The Designo , however , is supplied made-to-measure to suit a wide range of aperture dimensions and ceilings heights up to 3.3m . For the most demanding projects , the Klimatec 160 ( pictured here ) offers not only superb thermal insulation and an airtight seal , but 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 .
