It is a durable and long-lasting solution that comes with a 10-year guarantee. The Loft-E system is suitable for all types of loft spaces and can be used with a variety of boarding materials.

Why should I raise my loft boarding?

When it comes to utilizing the space in your loft, installing loft boarding is an excellent option. However, it’s essential to install it correctly, with raised loft boarding being the best option. Here are some reasons why:

1. Improved safety: Installing raised loft boarding creates a sturdy and stable surface, reducing the risk of falls and injuries. This is particularly important if you plan to use your loft for storage or as an additional living space.
2. Increased storage capacity: Raised loft boarding creates a platform that allows for more storage space in your loft. It can be difficult to store items safely on loft insulation or between joists, but with raised loft boarding, you’ll have a level, stable surface to store your belongings.
3. Better insulation: Raised loft boarding allows for proper ventilation and insulation. If you install boarding directly onto the insulation, you’ll block the airflow, which can lead to moisture buildup and reduce the insulation’s effectiveness. With raised boarding, air can flow freely, improving ventilation and reducing the risk of dampness.
4. Cost-effective: Installing raised loft boarding can be a cost-effective solution to increase your storage space or create an additional room. Compared to other home extensions or renovations, installing loft boarding is a relatively low-cost option.
5. Increased property value: An additional living space or storage area can increase your property’s value. Installing raised loft boarding correctly can help maximize your loft’s potential, making it a valuable addition to your home.

The LOFT-E® adjustable loft leg was invented by UK Loft Boarding Ltd in 2018, it evolved from the concept that loft boarding is required to be raised above the insulation so that when the floor sub-frame is fitted it allows the continuation of airflow around the loft. Boarding directly down onto the joists or compressing the insulation is now considered to be the absolute incorrect method of loft boarding.
