We offer tailored loft boarding for pre-1975 properties, creating extra storage space without insulation damage.
Is loft boarding suitable for older or period properties?
Yes, Loft Boarding can be carried out in older or period properties. It’s a versatile solution that can be tailored to various property types, including those built before the 1970s. Loft boarding can help you gain extra storage space without damaging your loft insulation, making it a suitable option for older and period properties as well. Our expert installation team specialises in providing pre-1975 loft boarding packages, ensuring that your older property receives the ideal storage solution without compromising its unique characteristics. Some older or more traditional homes may not meet the current standard for loft insulation. Loft hatches may also be too small for a loft ladder to fit, as well as being less energy efficient than modern hatches. We’ve designed this package with these kinds of homes in mind. This package will help your home become more energy-efficient, keeping you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer – and saving you money on your heating bills.
What advantages does loft boarding offer in older or period properties?
In older or period properties, loft boarding is a versatile solution that can enhance the usability and energy efficiency of your home. Creating a raised loft floor, not only provides extra storage space but also safeguards the structural timbers. This approach allows for additional insulation, which can contribute to improved thermal efficiency, helping to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer while reducing heating bills. Additionally, the installation of a new loft hatch can further enhance energy efficiency. Some older properties feature favourable roof pitches that enable standing room in the loft, unlocking the potential for functional and accessible loft space. Overall, loft boarding tailored to older homes offers a range of benefits that cater to their specific needs and characteristics.
