What Are Loft Boards?
Loft boards are the perfect solution for those looking to make their loft a more usable space for storage. They fit easily together thanks to their tongue and groove edges making them seamlessly attach together on the loft floor joists.
Our loft boards are some of the best when it comes to increasing energy efficiency for your home, creating extra space for storage and they’re easy to install thanks to their chipboard make up and smaller size for easy movement up and into the loft.
Why Use Loft Boards?
As we’ve said, loft boards are great for creating a loft space for storage. Their strong materials make them perfect for heavy loads and large boxes and bags, but they aren’t suitable for a living loft conversion.
In order to make them suitable for a conversion, additional support will be necessary. As they stand, the boards we offer can provide a stable floor for additional storage, freeing up space in your home.
Loft Board Advantages
Installing loft boards can provide you with a lot of benefits, some of which you may not be aware of. Our range of loft boards are quick and easy to install so you can enjoy your new loft space straight away. Boarding out your loft is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make. If you are unsure whether to loft board, take a look at some of the advantages below.
Increase floor space
Boarding your loft with loft floorboards can sometimes add as much 50% more floor space to your home. This increases the amount of area you can use for loft storage, or you could convert it into an extra room if you choose, so you can declutter and truly enjoy all of your living space.
Preferable material
Chipboard loft boards like the ones we use are preferable to OSB loft boards (oriented strand board) because they’re easier to cut thanks to the smaller wood particles that make up the chipboard. OSB loft boards use layered wood, which make them more difficult to cut.
Reduce heat loss
Having loft boards can help keep the heat in your home and reduce loss by stopping it escaping through the roof whilst securing your loft insulation in the most appropriate place for maximum thermal efficiency. This will maintain the overall warmth in your home and help to save you money on your energy bills in the long term.
Protect and enhance your insulation
Our loft boards will not squash your insulation, meaning there will be no reduction in the effectiveness of your insulation when the boards are in place creating a properly insulated loft for your home. With our loft boards you can be sure that they will enhance your home life, without causing disruption to your home. Loft legs can also be attached to the boarded area to prevent the boards from compressing any insulation below when installed directly onto ceiling joists and roof trusses. Installing loft legs or loft stilts is only necessary when raising the floor level, however.
Add value to your home
Loft boarding maximises your storage capacity by increasing your loft’s floor space so you can make full use of the area. Having extra storage space in your property will increase its value and make it more desirable to buyers should you decide to sell your house in the future.
Compact with a smooth finish
Our boards are compact in size, meaning they can easily be passed up through a loft hatch freely and can be easily handled in tighter spaces. Also, these boards have a sanded smooth finish which can be veneered or decorated if needed.
Provides safe access
A correctly boarded loft creates a safe way of accessing and moving around in a completely insulated loft, minimising the risk of missing a joist and standing on the plasterboard ceiling. This can be particularly important if there is equipment in the loft that needs periodic attention, such as photovoltaic inverters for solar panels or water tanks.
Easy Installation
Installing loft boards shouldn’t be complicated. Our deluxe, compact chipboard loft boards are easy to cut, move around and install without causing you any additional stress. It’s a straightforward enough DIY job for those with some DIY experience.
