Product Information

Product Code: ALC274

Loft caps are the next generation of fire hoods.
As well as providing fire protection by converting ordinary downlights into fire rated ones. Loft caps reduce heat loss which occurs when heat escapes through the downlight.
The energy saved in heating is estimated at £5.00 per year per loft cap.
Approved to Building Regulations Part L, continuous loft insulation.
Tested for 60 minute ceilings.
Easy to install, no screws or drilling required.
Loft caps are mainly used in ceilings were loft insulation is present. They act as a barrier between the insulation and the downlight to prevent fire.
Unless downlights have the Capped F Approval (hardly any do as it is a new standard, including fire rated downlights) they should not come in direct contact with insulation as it can cause a fire hazard.
Can be used with fire rated and none fire rated downlights.
The F Capped Approval is an Internationally recognised standard and is also known as British Standards BSEN60598.1 and BSEN60598.2.2.
Loft caps can be used with any type of downlight ( maximum 50W ) even none fire rated ones to provide the Capped F Approval.
Dimensions: Upper diameter 224mm, lower diameter 274mm, external height 162mm, internal height 150mm. Wall thickness 10mm.
