Boarding Out a Truss Roof Loft (With Floating Frame to Get Over Insulation) in Halesowen

This customer wanted his loft boarded but had a lot of insulation and the roof structure made it difficult for him to move around. We fitted his loft out with a robust floating frame system, allowing the 270mm of insulation underneath it to breath and have air-flow. This is really important to reduce the risk of condensation building up in the roof. We also installed a 3 stage Youngman Easy-way loft ladder and UPVC hatch for easy access. 

This job was completed in a newly built, 3 story town house.

Floating Frame Over 420mm of Insulation and Fitting Boarding Down the Centre of Truss Roof in Leamington Spa

This lady wanted her loft boarded out but had a lot of insulation and the roofs internal structure was trussed, making it difficult to negotiate. We floated a frame above the insulation level with a robust system of joists, thus allowing the 420mm of insulation underneath it to sit without being squashed down and so it was able to breathe. This is really impotant to reduce the risk of condensation building up in the roof. We also installed a 3 stage Youngman Easiway loft ladder and custom hatch for easy access. 

This job was completed in a newly built, 4 bed detached house.

Building a Floating Frame and Boarding Out a Loft with 300mm of Insulation in Bearwood

  • Boarding out a loft with 300mm of insulation

  • Building a subframe

  • Building a floating frame

In this new house this family wanted to board out the most useable part of their loft space. We suggested, as it was a new built house with a trussed roof, to concentrate on the area in the centre of the loft with most amount of head height space. Being a new house this loft was fully topped up with just shy of 300mm of insulation. It is important to remember that this must not be squashed down as is can lead to condensation issues. In order to allow the air to flow through the insulation, we build a subframe or a floating frame raised up at 300mm. This cavity allows the insulation to sit without being compressed in its normal position. This job was completed in a 4 bed detached, new built house.

Boarding Out Loft with 400mm of Insulation in Wythall

This job was to part board out a loft in a brand new house. The issue here was that they had 400mm of insulation over the top of the roof joists. We did not want to remove any of their insulation but it is very important not to squash it down either as it can lead to condensation issues. Squashing it down can trap moisture- it requires space and airflow in order to breathe, and allow moisture to escape. In order to lay a floor we built up a subframe and floated the floor 420mm above the existing joists leaving plenty of room for the insulation to sit undisturbed.
