Most Loft Boarding Gets It Wrong
Laying boards directly onto your joists compresses the insulation beneath them — reducing its effectiveness and quietly pushing your energy bills back up. It’s one of the most common mistakes we see, and it’s completely avoidable.
We install a raised boarding system that sits above your insulation, maintaining the full recommended depth of 270mm so your home stays as warm as the day we finished.
