Boarding your loft offers numerous benefits, from increasing storage space and adding value to your home to improving insulation and reducing heat loss. But what if your loft has low ceilings? Can it still be boarded?
In short, yes. Whether your home is new or old, and regardless of the roof type—be it cut, purlin, or trussed—even lofts with low ceilings can usually be boarded. However, there are a few important factors to consider.
Considerations for Boarding a Low Ceiling Loft
You may be tempted to install standard loft boards to maximise your space, but be aware that placing boards directly on top of your insulation can have negative consequences. It can lead to dampness and mould, reduce the insulation’s effectiveness, and potentially cause costly damage to your property.
To avoid these issues, it’s essential to leave a gap above the insulation to allow for proper airflow. At Key Loft Storage, we specialise in raised loft boards, which elevate the flooring above the insulation, preventing it from being compressed and ensuring it works efficiently.
If you’re worried that raised flooring will reduce your headroom even further in a low ceiling loft, don’t fret—there’s a compact solution available.
