The old way to lay loft boards was often laying timber or cheap ply over soft insulation. Timber is heavy, can’t easily avoid obstructions, doesn’t work with uneven joists and, importantly, acts as a ‘cold bridge’ letting heat escape through your insulation.
In new properties, architects are not allowed to specify timber for this purpose any more, unless they add in extra insulation elsewhere to make up for the heat that escapes along the timber. LoftZone’s solutions are suitable for new builds and so much easier to use than timber, without compromising on the strength.
