"We are a family run business, with 15 years of experience specialising in loft boarding, creating safe and accessible storage spaces"
A safe usable space is a no brainer for everyone, adding the benefits of that extra storage space that everyone could do with more of... whether it be a place to store the family's suitcases until that next lovely trip away or hiding the Christmas tree and Santa's presents (shhh) and the general de clutter of the household things you just can't bring yourself to part with. Whilst increasing the thermal efficiency of the property (saving you money on Energy Bills) and adding value to your house.
Way back when, the done thing was to lay boards directly on to the properties ceiling joist. This is known and proven now to be completely the wrong way to do it. Times change and so do methods. Here at LOFT LOGIK we are specialists in creating the strongest most thermal efficient boarding spaces, done the correct and compliant way.
Whilst no two lofts are the same, there are two types of lofts... a purlin style roof and a truss style roof. Both styles can be boarded, so rest assured we have all the solutions for you.
Truss Style Roof
The way in which you board a truss roof is key. New builds need to have a floor raise system which conforms to building regulations in order to not invalidate the NHBC guarantee which house builders provide. At LOFT LOGIK we use BBA approved product which comprises of fitting a Plastic leg to the ceiling with a rail running on top. This would be running opposite to the way in which the ceiling truss runs creating extra strength by proportionately spanning the weight across the full floor/ceiling span, to finish off with 18mm chipboard Conti/Kronospan loft panels screwed down into the rail with staggered joints, increasing more strength again.
Purlin Style Roof
The way in which you board an older style property is also key. Just like a new build the flooring itself needs to be raised above the industry standard insulation levels. Here at LOFT LOGIK we create a timber-built sub frame. This is the only way in which these properties should be boarded. Taking the strain off the existing ceiling. The weight is distributed from the central wall of the house and the purlins. Taking the weight load above away from the lathe and plaster ceiling. Creating an extremely strong space in which to store or use for a mini loft conversion. (non-habitable room). The loft boards would then be screwed to the timbers with staggered joints to add even more strength your space.
