In this guide, we’ll walk you through the various types of loft boards available, key installation considerations, and how to board your loft safely and efficiently—whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or working with a professional.

The key do’s of loft boarding include raising boards above insulation using Loft Legs, checking insulation depth (270mm recommended in the UK), and staggering boards for strength. Don'ts include compressing insulation, overloading joists (limit: 25kg/m²), or covering downlights. Avoid blocking ventilation and never remove structural trusses. Proper loft boarding improves energy efficiency, creates safe storage, and protects your home from long-term damage.
