Standard loft boarding is placed directly onto joists this may be suitable for older properties, although it may be ineffective if there is not enough insulation in the existing loft. It does not usually account for pipework wiring downlights and lighting compressing loft insulation can reduce the thermal efficiency by up to 50%.
CLC can design and board your loft to allow for the air to flow around the eaves the boarding is fitted in the middle of the loft, this way of providing storage is safe and helps reduce issues with condensation and trapping of cables.
We use Loft Legs to avoid insulation compression when using your new build home’s loft for storage this method will keep the 270mm of quit insulation to achieve a U value of 0.16W/m2K.
Newer homes can be installed with up to 400mm of insulation to meet stricter insulation targets under the government’s new thermal calculations.
Compression of insulation within your loft can reduce its thermal properties by more than 50% this is why we only use the pedestal system which ensures maximum insulation efficiency.
We install loft leg XL on new-build properties and normally standard loft leg on pre and post-1975 homes but if you have room and would like further insulation we can install the 300mm Loft leg XL if you have enough room.
