Hello, I just got a new loft hatch installed. As you can see in the pic, the plastic of the hatch has been fitted very tensed/stretched and with gaps between its plastic and the surrounded wood, with all the screws only screwed mid-way to secure the plastic. From a non-professional perspective, the plastic model used seems to be too small for the hatch. Can you advise if this is OK? Should have the hatch gap been enlarged to fit a bigger model? thanks.
Does look as though there is a bit of stretch. Could be be sorted with a few ply packers would have thought
What does the hatch look like when closed, are the gaps and margins looking ok? If so, don't worry, though it could have had a packer or two next to the fixing screws but it's not the end of the world.
Thanks. I don't think there are gaps or magins when closed, to be honest. They have come back and say that it's better like this for insulation...
