LOFT LADDERS FOR KEEPING HOMES COOL IN SUMMER
LOFT LADDERS FOR KEEPING HOMES COOL IN SUMMER
Did you know that an insulated and airtight loft ladder can help keep your home cooler during the summer? In exactly the same way that an insulated loft ladder can keep a home warm during the winter months, it can also help keep a home cool during the summer. Especially during a heat wave.
The insulation in a loft hatch provides a barrier to heat. Therefore, it helps keep heat in the loft and stop it from entering your home. As such, it is important to check a loft ladder’ s‘ U-value’. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation.
The other important feature to consider is an airtight seal. A loft ladder with an airtight seal will stop hot air flowing through any gaps in the loft hatch. This is a particular problem for properties that have air conditioning.
What are the best loft ladders for a cool home?
The best loft ladders for maintaining a cool home during the summer will be those offering the best thermal insulation and an airtight seal. As such, consider loft ladders designed for Passive House( Passivhaus) buildings. These offer certified thermal performance and an airtight seal. They are also designed to prevent thermal bridging.
