Whether your property has a brand new loft or an old loft, the opportunity to board the space is possible, no matter the age – increasing the usable storage possibilities as well as protecting the materials used to construct and insulate the property.
Boarding the loft of any age property
Instaloft uses a patented loft boarding system compatible with any age loft to increase the amount of usable space within your property. Owners of both new and old properties reap the benefits that our loft spaces provide, thanks to the innovative raised loft boarding installation treatment, including:
Increased property value
Improved storage space
Protection of the original timbers
Allowing airflow, reducing loft moisture
Increased property value
Due to the level of usable space within the home is increased, future buyers will be prepared to offer a higher purchase price.
Improved storage space
Increasing the usable and accessible storage space within your new or old loft will reduce clutter within the home. By stowing away seasonal items, infrequently used tools, keepsakes and memory boxes and more, rooms of your house become places to enjoy, as opposed to storage spaces.
Protection of the original timbers
By raising the loft boards, goods will avoid being stored directly on any framing, protecting the all-important original timbers throughout the old loft.
Allowing airflow, reducing loft moisture
Raising the loft boards allows for adequate airflow to move around the space, which helps to maintain a consistent temperature, subsequently reducing the risk of moisture damage to your precious belongings.
Increasing storage space
With all of the new space at your disposal, the type of loft storage you opt for is entirely up to you. There are many different variations of loft storage available, including, but not limited to boxes and shelves. Installing the loft boards allows for the expansion of possibilities and keeps the goods protected year-round.
Raised loft boarding for longevity and improved protection
The addition of improved loft storage is just one benefit of loft boarding. Loft boarding within old loft spaces can actually protect the original materials installed during the building’s construction. Raising the boards allows for increased airflow, as previously mentioned, as well as reducing the level of possible dampness.
Raised loft boards ensure the insulation is well protected and given the room to ‘breathe’. When insulation is compressed or damaged, it becomes inefficient, sadly this all too often results in wasted money spent on heating a home. Frustratingly for homeowners if insulation is damaged due to compression, it may need replacing. As we’re sure you know, this would cause a massive inconvenience to the home, not to mention wasted material.
