Loft Ledge

Product Information

The Loft Ledge comes as a complete loft shelving kit with 2 brackets, a chipboard shelf and four screws. Today’s building regulations are suggesting loft insulation depths of 270mm and with up to 25% of your homes heat loss disappearing through the roof it’s no wonder more and more people are sticking their heads up through the loft hatch to see what’s going on up there.

Using a system like this may mean that not all the possible attic storage space gets used, but some homeowners will be glad to make that trade-off to get the easier access. Any wider than 600mm means your roof has probably been modified in some way and these shelves might not be for you unless you just want to use the predrilled brackets and add your own timber…Which, considering there is nothing else on the market to touch the quality of these brackets, is probably a very good idea! This applies, in most homes anyway, to almost everything that, over the years, has been put in the loft for safe-keeping. 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.This creates a huge amount of additional storage space and what is more is that the newly created space is very very accessible and almost impossible to clutter! The Versa Lift comes in two different capacities, with different models depending on the floor-to-floor range. Putting loft boards down alone won't do the trick - you'll want a Loft Leg that'll raise your boards above the insulation so it's not getting squashed. That could be done with plywood, but the Attic Dek panels, available in two sizes,provide an interesting alternative.

The Loft Leg has become the industry standard for raising loft storage platforms, trusted by energy companies, professional insulation installers and home owners throughout the UK. The Loft Ledge creates a useful shelf in the normally unused space between trusses above the insulation. The shelving slats are cut to the correct length to fit between trusses which have been fitted to the standard 600mm centres found in most roofs for the last 30 years.

The first sight in anyone’s loft, whether boarded out or not, is a few suitcases piled on top of each other, untidily, around the hatch and while it’s dead easy to get them in, getting then right one out again is not quite as simple. Some storage bins will be too large for these shelves, but the top-rated one from The Sweethome will fit just fine.
