Question:
Do Fakro do this size loft hatch with more insulation?
Answer:
Yes, Fakro does offer a loft ladder with increased insulation in the same size. The Fakro LWT Thermo model provides significantly better insulation than the LWK Komfort model you're looking at. With a much lower U-value, the LWT Thermo model is designed to reduce heat loss through the loft hatch. Particularly, it's intended for homes where energy efficiency is a priority. Another model to consider is the Fakro LWF 60 Fire-Rated Loft Ladder, which combines enhanced insulation with 60-minute fire resistance. For a straightforward upgrade while maintaining the 55 x 111 cm opening, the Fakro LWT Thermo model would be a substantial improvement in thermal performance. However, I would recommend comparing the exact U-values, hatch thicknesses, and other specifications of the available Fakro models in this size to make the most informed decision.
Question:
can this be fitted by 1 person only
Answer:
No — although the LWK Komfort comes fully assembled, FAKRO expects two people for safe installation due to lifting and positioning requirements.
Question:
Please can you tell me the overswing measurement for a komfort 3 section 305 height 600x1300

You should have a clearance of at least 300mm around the hatch, if you're referring to a vertical distance from the ceiling to the floor then this would be based upon the ladder lengths 2.8m / 3.05m and is not adjustable.
