Loft Balustrades & Loft Lining – FAQs
A balustrade or grab rail provides added stability and peace of mind when accessing your loft. It creates a safe barrier around your hatch opening and gives you something secure to hold onto, especially when climbing in or out.
While not a legal requirement, it is strongly recommended for safe access. A balustrade reduces the risk of falls and makes your loft entrance safer for all ages and abilities.
A balustrade surrounds the loft opening and creates a physical safety barrier.
