Does loft boarding invalidate NHBC?

No, loft boarding using approved systems like LoftZone Storefloor does not invalidate NHBC (National House Building Council) warranties. These systems are designed to protect insulation and maintain the integrity of your loft space without compromising warranties. It’s important to ensure that any loft boarding or storage solutions are installed by professionals who use NHBC-approved methods to avoid warranty issues.

What is the significance of proper ventilation in a loft space?

With the improved insulation levels found in modern homes, more heat is retained in the rooms below, resulting in lower temperatures in the loft space. Additionally, modern appliances like washing machines, tumble dryers, and showers release moisture into the air, leading to higher humidity levels in our living environments. This increased humidity gradually seeps into the roof space, creating a cold and moist environment. Maintaining proper airflow becomes crucial in such conditions.

When loft boarding is directly applied to the joists or a timber subframe, the air doesn’t have sufficient opportunity to cool down before reaching these structural elements and the boarding itself. These components then act as thermal bridges, collecting interstitial condensation and moisture. Over time, this can lead to rotting and structural issues, affecting the safety of the loft. It is therefore recommended to have an airflow gap of at least 50mm between the boards and insulation, a requirement that standard loft boarding cannot easily meet.
