It also makes your insulation less effective when it has been condensed down under boards, so you’re in a lose-lose situation. There’s one other very important factor in loft boarding, something you might not be aware of as a potential issue.I have fitted them, tried pre drilling and not bothering to, honestly it’s 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other to pre-drill or not. According to regulations, loft insulation depth must be at least 270mm, which is usually higher than most loft floor joists. Wherever the insulation meets the top platform of a Loft Leg create a small slit in the quilt with a Stanley knife and push the insulation gently down around the Loft Leg to form a snug fit.

Having successfully installed a small square kit I have now bought extra cross beams and supports to complete the remaining attic space boarding.

Low Energy Supermarket advises no professional person be booked to conduct work until the goods are in hand and accepts no responsibility if persons are booked and goods are not in hand.The fact they do raise above the joists is great as you have no issues with wires or anything in the way of the boards. This is generally 100mm between the joists/trusses, and a 170mm top up layer running perpendicular to the joists. The extra airflow will keep your insulation dry and avoid any damp issues – another good reason to opt for raised loft flooring. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Put boards on top and they now feel absolutely solid and better insulation underneath and loads more storage. Some new build homes have up to 400mm of mineral wool insulation installed meaning that the timber solution would be even heavier and the cost will be signifncatly more expensive.

I have subsequently discovered on installation, that one of the other items, a ladder, is dented in several places. By adding LoftZone Raised Loft floor, you can protect your insulation from being squashed, while providing additional space and storage to your loft. This is one of the most important steps, and it’s one that’s tripped up a lot of homeowners in the past.
