Loft Boarding
We only use high quality 18mm tongue and groove chipboard flooring, it is moisture resistant, reliable and due to its tongue and groove fixing ensures maximum strength. If the insulation is above the existing joists then raised boarding is required and additional timbers need to be fitted, to ensure the fibre glass insulation is not compressed. When compressed the fibre glass insulation efficiency is reduced a considerable amount. Once the new timbers are installed, the loft boards are fixed to the new timbers.
