Loftite by Timloc: Setting a new standard for loft access solutions
A
s homes become more energy effi cient and airtight construction becomes the norm, even small details like loft
access doors can have a big impact. Poorly sealed or under-insulated loft hatches are a common source of heat loss, undermining the performance of an otherwise effi cient home. Loftite by Timloc has been developed to solve this problem with exceptional insulation, airtightness and acoustic control, helping developers meet and exceed the requirements of The Building Regulations Approved Document L1 & L2 for airtightness and prepare for the future. Loft spaces often act as thermal weak points, especially when traditional loft hatches fail to maintain a consistent airtight barrier. This can lead to higher energy bills, reduced comfort and diffi culty achieving compliance with tightening building regulations. Loftite tackles these issues through a robust design that pairs advanced insulation with high-performance sealing, ensuring reliable thermal performance and reduced air leakage. To support a wide range of building needs,
Loftite is available in three U-value options. The standard option, with a U-value of 0.35 W/m²K, meets the requirements of the Robust Construction Detail and provides dependable insulation for most residential
builds. For projects targeting enhanced energy effi ciency, the 0.25 W/m²K and 0.15 W/m²K options help achieve the higher performance levels required by the Code for Sustainable Homes and the Future Homes Standard, giving housebuilders the fl exibility to meet or exceed evolving regulatory expectations. Loftite has been engineered to meet and
exceed The Building Regulations Approved Document L1 & L2, ensuring strong airtightness and thermal effi ciency. Independent testing by the BRE confi rms its airtightness in line with BS EN 13141-1:2019 for ventilation performance and BS 5250:2021 for moisture management. This verifi ed performance gives developers confi dence that Loftite will function as specifi ed on site, reducing uncontrolled air leakage and contributing to better overall energy effi ciency. A key feature of Loftite’s design is its ease of
installation. The frame incorporates two fi tting slots that make the unit simple to position and secure, enabling a fast, accurate single-person installation (patent pending). This not only reduces labour time but also minimises disruption on site, an important advantage for busy build schedules. Sam Bishop, product development manager,
shares insight into the innovation behind Loftite: “Loftite represents a signifi cant step forward in loft access solutions. We’ve combined
advanced insulation technology with airtight design to create a product that not only meets current building standards but anticipates future requirements. Our goal was to deliver a loft door that off ers fl exibility, performance, and peace of mind, and Loftite does exactly that.”
