48X Loft Insulation Spacer, Raised Storage Boarding, loftlegs, Stilts, loft Legs

Product Information

The fact they do raise above the joists is great as you have no issues with wires or anything in the way of the boards.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Even those with little DIY skills, or time, can now easily elevate the boarded section so that their loft can be used for storage whilst still having 270mm of loft insulation. Wherever the insulation meets the top platform of a Loft Leg create a small slit in the quilt with a Stanley knife and push the insulation gently down around the Loft Leg to form a snug fit. I like to start my reviews with feedback or negatives, I struggle to find any about the company or the product.By using a loft leg this will raise the flooring above any insulating materials you have in between the joists, this space is essential to ensuring the insulating properties have room to breathe so they will be working to their best ability. I supply all my own materials and fully explain beforehand how your loft will be converted into a safe and easy to access storage area.

The plastic supports look a bit weak online to my mind but they are very well thought out, strong and well built.To comply with all UK building regulations any electrical work should be carried out by a UK certified electrician. I needed them to protect insulation when boarding a loft and they do, I fitted loft boards on top and 2 months on all good. Seeing the new shelf beam product we have now extended the storage space to include the otherwise wasted space formed by the V of the trusses. The haulier used by Loftzone was extremely helpful and delivered the goods in premium condition (no damage whatsoever).

They are easy to fit, extremely lightweight, allow for pipes and cables to be present and do not create thermal bridging. After an initial coupla bumps in the road i was contacted by dave the company owner who sorted it for me personally. Therefore, boarding directly onto joists would mean in many cases having reduced insulation in between the joists (75mm – 100mm) or squashing insulation down where there is boarding from 270mm to 100mm.Brilliant system, I’m not the handiest of people but managed to board my loft, fit lights and get all the junk we only use once a year in the loft in a weekend.

Then added the insulation put some floorboards down and then moved everything across to the other side and managed to do the other side. Low Energy Supermarket accepts no responsibility for any electrical item purchased being installed and any item is fitted at owners risk.It’s safer, more stable and often more comfortable to work from one rather than precariously balancing on joists or trusses.
