Loft Boarding
Loft boarding presents an easy option to increase the usable space of your home without making significant changes to your loft. However, it requires professional installation to install loft boards and create a fruitful loft space at your home.
At Life Lofts, we have been providing proficient loft boarding solutions for over a decade, including installation, replacement and repairs. Contact us today for a sturdy loft boarding at your home.
Types of Loft Boards We Install
Loft boards can be classified into three sub-types based on their material:
Chipboard: Generally referred to as P5 chipboard, it is a highly moisture-resistant material and is suitable for moisture and humidity-prone areas. These loft boards are typically green in colour and are an expensive option.
OSB: Formed by compressing wood strands and binding them with an adhesive, OSB (oriented strand board) is a relatively new material for loft boarding. It is a durable and high-end material with an initial cost somewhat higher than chipboard.
Plywood: Plywood is manufactured by compressing multiple thin sheets of veneer and binding them with adhesives. It’s the strongest material on the list and has the highest initial cost as well – the reason why it is rarely used.
