Loft Boarding
A boarded loft is a type of loft conversion in which the floor of the loft may be raised and supported by beams, joists or other supports, and then covered with boarding. This provides a flat, level surface on which to store items or lay down insulation.
Loft boarding also helps to keep the heat in the loft space, making it more energy efficient.
Boarding your loft is a practical and easy way to add extra storage space into your home, improve energy efficiency, and increase the value of your property. However, there are safety concerns to be aware of if you plan on starting a project like this yourself.
We advise that you make sure you understand all the risks involved before proceeding. Be sure to consider a consult with a professional beforehand. With proper planning and execution, boarding your loft professionally can be a simple and rewarding procedure.
