What is Loft Boarding?
Loft boarding creates a safe, stable storage platform above your insulation so you can use your loft space without damaging its thermal performance.
Many homes in Swansea have insulation installed between joists. If you place boards directly on top, the insulation becomes compressed — reducing its effectiveness and increasing heat loss. Our raised loft boarding systems prevent this problem.
We install elevated supports above your joists, allowing insulation to remain at the correct depth while creating strong, usable storage space.
