attic hatch

Overhead storage access

An attic hatch is a small door or panel in a ceiling that provides access to the attic space above.

Usually rectangular and hinged or removable, it may include a pull-down ladder or stairs: I climbed through the attic hatch to check the insulation.

Also called an attic access panel or scuttle hole.
