What is raised loft boarding?
Raised loft boarding lifts the storage platform above the insulation, preventing it from being compressed while creating a safe, solid area for storage.
⸻
Will loft boarding damage my insulation?
No. Our raised systems are specifically designed to protect existing insulation by maintaining airflow and avoiding compression, helping insulation perform correctly.
⸻
Is loft boarding safe to walk on?
Yes. The boards we install are rated to support 25 kg per square metre, plus the weight of the person accessing the loft, when used correctly for storage purposes.
⸻
Can my loft be used as a living space after boarding?
No. Loft boarding is installed for storage only and does not convert the loft into a habitable room.
⸻
What is a U-value?
A U-value measures how much heat escapes through a part of your home, such as the roof.
The lower the U-value, the better your insulation is at keeping heat inside the property.
