Loft Board Installation

 

Styroloft is fitted over timber joists in a brick pattern. The spacing between timbers should not exceed 600mm. A minimum of two opposite edges must be fully supported on the joists. The panel should preferably be screwed to the joists with a minimum of four screws per panel. Each panel is butted up to the next panel with each edge supported by a minimum of 15mm on the joist. Each board covers 0.48sqm.

Placing Styroloft on the joists

 
 

Styroloft panels can be cut with standard cutting tools including handsaws. To ensure a clean edge the panel must be firmly held during the cutting operation. Styroloft is now ready to provide storage or support additional mineral fibre insulation.

How to lay Loft Boards
  

Styroloft is designed as a lightweight loft lining subject to low level foot traffic. It is not suitable for use as a domestic flooring panel.

Styroloft helps you to offset your carbon emissions, each time you heat your home, CO2 is added into the atmosphere. Considering products such as loft boards and mineral fibre rolls to the recommended energy performane levels helps offset the CO2 in the atmosphere by the same amount that your activities add. In this way you can 'neutralise' or 'balance' the CO2 you have created in your everyday life.
