Fakro L-shaped loft doors. Anyone used them?

We are losing heat through our current loft doors and we've been exploring alternatives. Found these fakro doors but no experience of them and struggling to find stockists. Anyone any experience? http://www.fakro.ie/product-range/all-products/loft-ladders/dwk/

I looked at them for a project but ended up using a metal access panel with a beaded frame. Visually they disappear more into the wall and don't have a handle pointing into the room. You can get them fire rated and insulated like the Farko access doors.
I suppose if you intend on using the area more regularly, eg for storage, then the fakro doors might be better.
