Loft Lid

The Loft Lid is a fire retardant downlight cover for safe, energy efficient installation of downlights in the loft space.

The Loft Lid creates a protective barrier or cover over downlights to prevent overheating and house fires. The design ensures loft insulation does not directly contact downlights and that there is sufficient ventilation around the light for heat dissipation. The Loft Lid also eliminates heat loss and air leakage into the loft space and allows for a continuous layer of insulation to be laid over the top of the lid to comply with current building regulations.

The Loft Lid also creates an effective dust, acoustic and pest/insect seal and is extremely easy to install. The Loft Lid is manufactured in the UK from fire retardant material and has been tested and approved to British Standards by the UK Lighting Industry Association. The unique shape enables the product to be easily installed even when downlights  are located close to roof joists or trusses and provides sufficient volume for  all major brands of downlighters up to a maximum power rating of 50W.

• creates a safe, airtight cover over downlights in a loft

Not suitable for covering Dichroic bulbs – A dichroic bulb reflects light forward whilst transmitting heat backwards through the bulb and shouldn’t be used in a Loft envoirnment. You can tell them apart from an ordinary bulb by shining a light at the back of one, if it's dichroic it will pass through and show a pink hue.
