More and more homes are converting to combination boilers so there are less and less water tanks in the loft which is giving us all more space but it seems the more space we have the more space we need….BUT…..It is not the physical space creation that is the difficulty, it is organising that space to get the maximum value from it that presents us with the problems.

All you will need to fit Loft Ledge is a screwdriver, a tape measure and (We suggest) a spirit level. This has undoubtedly made the timber very hard so, if you are determined to use a hand screwdriver, you may want to drill some pilot holes first. Boarding out lofts to comply with the new Part L of the building regs is now pretty commonplace and a strip of boarding down the centre of the loft is not a difficult job. Full instructions are included in the box but to make it even easier, the video shows just how simple this operation is.

All Loft Leg's products use recycled materials, and are manufactured in the UK wherever possible, to the highest international standards. The shelving slats are cut to the correct length to fit between trusses which have been fitted to the standard 600mm centres found in most roofs for the last 30 years. Brilliant! So simple but so effective. This system creates space in seconds. We were stunned at how easy it is to fit and fully aware that for this to be so simple means that an awful lot of thought has gone into it.

The raised loft floor creates an ideal storage and access platform, protecting the insulation from compression. The Loft Leg has become the industry standard for raising loft storage platforms, trusted by energy companies, professional insulation installers and home owners throughout the UK.Designed to fit all modern trusses and has features to allow for variations in truss design and spacing Delivery timescales are highlighted under the Add To Basket button, these are provided for UK Mailand deliveries only and are based on working days.

The screwdriver is a matter of personal choice. We prefer electric screwdrivers as they make life so much easier. We took the Loft Ledge into a recently boarded out attic to see just how it worked. The result was outstanding. Conserving heat and power as per Part L of the Building Regulations – Find out more about Building Regulations Part L here Why Does Loft Ledge Work? If you would like to fit the Loft Ledge by hand, be our guest, but do remember that loft timbers, trusses and joists, have been allowed, through the very warmth in the loft, to dry out thoroughly. The Loft Ledge system is designed so many units can be used in the same loft. It is possible and indeed very practical, to have a row of Loft Ledges right along your trusses.The Loft Ledge is an easy and convenient solution that maximises the potential storage space in your trussed roof. Loft floors are rarely level and while this is not very important in the scheme of things, measuring up from the floor, as the Loft Ledge instructions suggest, could potentially give you an out of level shelf.
