Raised Loft Boarding Wargrave | Loft Storage

Safe, Structural Loft Storage in Wargrave

Beyond thermal efficiency, we are the foremost experts in raised loft boarding in Wargrave. A common, critical mistake made by DIY enthusiasts and amateur builders is screwing standard wooden boards directly onto the existing ceiling joists. This action crushes the vital insulation underneath, halving its effectiveness and causing severe damp issues.

To prevent this, we construct a fully structural, raised sub-frame using reinforced Loft Legs. This elevates our heavy-duty OSB boarding completely above your new, deep insulation layer. The result is a massive, incredibly strong storage room for your Wargrave home that protects your insulation and maintains vital roof airflow.

Raised Structural Loft Boarding Installation in Wargrave

The Danger of Incorrect Boarding

Many DIY enthusiasts screw standard wooden boards directly onto existing ceiling joists. This completely crushes the 300mm of insulation underneath down to just 100mm. Compressed insulation loses over 50% of its thermal efficiency and causes damp.

Massive Storage

Safely store hundreds of kilos of belongings.

Protect Insulation

Our raised sub-frame ensures insulation is never crushed.

Vital Airflow

Maintains a crucial 50mm air gap underneath the boards.

Frequently Asked Questions in Wargrave

Can I screw boards directly to my joists?

No. Screwing boards directly to your joists compresses your insulation down to around 100mm, destroying its efficiency and risking damp. We use raised structural loft legs instead.

Is the raised boarding strong enough to walk on?

Absolutely. We secure heavy-duty structural OSB (Oriented Strand Board) panels across a reinforced frame, creating an incredibly strong and safe platform.
