Full Product Overview

The FAKRO LWT Energy Efficient Folding Wooden Loft Ladder is a highly insulated loft access solution designed for homes and buildings where reducing heat loss and improving airtightness are important priorities.

Its standout feature is the exceptionally low U-value of 0.51 W/m²K, achieved through an 80 mm thick insulated hatchcontaining 74 mm of polystyrene insulation. This provides significantly greater thermal protection than a conventional lightly insulated loft hatch.

The LWT also incorporates a triple peripheral sealing system, helping prevent unwanted airflow between the heated living space and the loft. The ladder achieves Class 4 airtightness to EN 12207, making it particularly suitable for energy-efficient building projects.

For everyday convenience, the ladder includes a white insulated hatch, integrated handrail and non-slip wooden treads, providing a complete domestic loft access arrangement.

The wooden treads measure 80 mm deep and 20 mm thick, with spacing of 250 mm between treads. They are positioned flush with the ladder strings to help reduce the risk of accidental slipping.

Installation is simplified through FAKRO's click-fix installation system and lightweight hatch construction. The design also provides a short distance between the upper tread and loft floor, making the transition into the loft more convenient.

Available in three- and four-section configurations depending on the selected size, the LWT accommodates different ceiling openings and installation heights.

With a 160 kg maximum load, EN 14975 compliance and outstanding thermal performance, the FAKRO LWT is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a well-insulated, airtight wooden loft ladder.
