The NOZIERES 66 is a 45-minute fire-rated, EI 45 loft ladder with a compact design. Its 66 mm hatch, including 60 mm of insulation, limits the spread of fire and heat loss into the loft.

Choosing the right loft ladder

The NOZIERES 66 addresses two constraints: a floor that must resist fire and limited space to unfold the ladder. This may be the case above a narrow garage or plant room.

It is suitable for ceiling heights up to 265 cm. Its hatch also has a U-value of 0.76 W/m².K. For 60 minutes of fire resistance, the BERNINA is the model in our range, with a longer frame. The handrail is supplied.

Installation advice

Ceiling opening: prepare an opening to fit the chosen frame, allowing approximately 5 mm clearance all around. Check that there is at least 170 mm of clear height above the ceiling to accommodate the frame.

Fixing: secure the frame to the floor structure (joists and trimmers) with screws suited to the material, following the instructions. Check that it is square before fully tightening the screws: a twisted frame will prevent the hatch from closing properly.

Adjustment: unfold the ladder, measure the ceiling height and trim the final section so it rests flat on the floor. Fit the handrail. Finally, connect the loft insulation around the frame to prevent thermal bridging.

Fire resistance: the 45-minute fire rating is achieved only when the ladder is installed in accordance with the instructions. Do not drill into the hatch or modify the frame or its seals.

Maintenance and protection

Once a year, check that the screws are tight, inspect the joints between ladder sections and make sure the hatch opening mechanism works properly. Lubricate the mechanisms if opening becomes stiff, and dust the treads.

On a fire-rated model, do not apply thick paint or any covering to the hatch without the manufacturer’s approval, and check that the seals remain in place.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a fire-rated loft ladder for a small ceiling opening?

Yes, the NOZIERES 66 is available with a frame as small as 90 x 60 cm and a hatch fire-rated for 45 minutes. Once unfolded, it takes up just 130 cm of floor space.

When do you need a fire-rated loft ladder?

When the hatch passes through a floor that must resist fire: above a garage or boiler room, or where regulations or your insurer require it. Check whether 45 or 60 minutes of fire resistance is required.

How much floor space is needed to unfold the NOZIERES 66?

Allow 130 cm of floor space and 125 cm of clearance to open the hatch and unfold the ladder.

How do you choose the frame size for a loft ladder?

Choose the frame to suit the ceiling opening: its dimensions correspond to the opening needed in the ceiling, allowing approximately 5 mm clearance all around for installation. Measure the existing opening, or the one you can create between the joists, then choose the closest frame size that does not exceed it.

Do you need to trim a loft ladder to length?

Yes, in most cases. The ladder is supplied to fit the maximum height and is trimmed at the bottom so the final section rests flat on the floor. Measure the ceiling height, unfold the ladder and cut it according to the instructions.
