Whether you’ve recently moved into a new home or have lived in your property for years, enhancing your loft’s efficiency can be a smart upgrade. Raising the loft floor can significantly improve air circulation, helping to reduce energy bills throughout the year.
Types of Raised Loft Flooring
To accommodate different roof heights, we offer a variety of raised loft flooring solutions, including both standard and compact options. These options ensure that households with varying roof spaces can benefit from improved insulation and airflow between the boards and insulation.
Compact Solutions for Low Roof Heights
If your home has a lower roof, loft boarding may seem like a challenge. However, compact supports for loft boards are available to provide a practical solution, ensuring even homes with limited loft height can benefit from raised flooring.
Secure Loft Boarding Installation
For safety and stability, we use high-quality wood screws to attach the loft boards securely to raised supports, which are fixed to your existing loft beams. This guarantees a sturdy and long-lasting structure, allowing you to use the loft with confidence. The benefits of raising the loft floor for insulation:
-
Insulation
Poor insulation is a major cause of heat loss and draughts. Issues like damp, compression, or damage can severely reduce its efficiency. Replacing insulation is often the best solution, but it’s essential to maintain proper spacing between the insulation and loft boards. By raising the floor, you can protect the insulation, ensuring it stays effective for longer and avoids unnecessary damage.
-
Energy Savings
An optimally insulated loft does more than increase storage space—it promotes air circulation, helping to regulate temperature and moisture throughout the year. This helps control energy usage, keeping your home comfortable and your energy bills down.
-
Strength for Storage
Raising the loft floor also enhances storage capacity. Storing items directly on the insulation can damage it and may affect the structural integrity of the ceiling below. By introducing raised flooring, you can safely store belongings across the joists, spreading the weight and preventing damage to both the insulation and the structure.
