At More Than Loft Ladders, we are committed to providing our customers with the best products and services to maximise the potential of their loft spaces. This is why we exclusively use LoftLeg products for our raised loft boarding solutions. The LoftLeg system is a superior, purposebuilt solution that offers significant benefits over traditional boarding methods. In this blog, Liam Hobbs, owner of More Than Loft Ladders, explains why we have chosen to use LoftLeg and why we feel it’s the best option for your loft.

What is LoftLeg?

LoftLeg is a patented, loft boarding support system designed specifically to protect the thermal insulation in your loft. Unlike standard loft boarding methods, which can compress insulation and reduce its efficiency, the LoftLeg system raises the floor above the insulation level, preserving its performance while creating a strong and stable storage platform.

The Benefits of Using LoftLeg

There are several reasons why we have opted to use LoftLeg products for all our raised loft boarding installations:

Preserves Insulation Efficiency

One of the main reasons we choose LoftLeg is its ability to maintain the thermal efficiency of your loft insulation. Many homes have been upgraded to the current building regulations standard of 270mm of loft insulation. Installing traditional boarding directly on top of this insulation compresses it, significantly, reducing its ability to retain heat. This leads to higher energy bills and less effective insulation. Compressed insulation with reduced airflow is also a major contributing factor towards damp issues in your home.

The LoftLeg system elevates the boarding above the insulation, leaving it undisturbed. This means you will retain the full thermal benefits of your insulation, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and helping you save on energy costs.

Increases Storage Space Safely

LoftLegs create a raised platform that allows you to use your loft space for storage without compromising on safety or insulation. Each LoftLeg provides a robust support system that

can hold substantial weight, meaning you can store items like seasonal decorations, suitcases, and other belongings without worrying about overloading the loft floor.

Lightweight, Yet Strong and Durable

LoftLegs are manufactured using lightweight yet durable recycled materials, ensuring they are easy to handle and install while providing long-lasting support. Despite their light weight, LoftLegs are extremely strong and stable, supporting up to 500kg per pack when evenly distributed.

Protects Cables and Pipework

Many lofts have electrical cables, pipes, and ventilation systems running across the floor. LoftLegs elevated system ensures that these components remain protected and accessible, reducing the risk of damage during storage use or maintenance. This makes your loft not only a more functional space but a safer one as well.

Quick and Easy Installation

LoftLegs are designed for simple installation. Their straightforward design allows us to fit them efficiently, minimising disruption in your home. This means we can transform your loft space into a usable storage area quickly and effectively.

Complies with Building Regulations

Because the LoftLeg system maintains the full depth of loft insulation, it helps homeowners stay compliant with UK Building Regulations, which require 270mm of insulation in loft spaces. By using LoftLegs, you can enjoy a usable loft area without compromising on energy efficiency or falling short of regulatory standards. NHBC acknowledges that this raised system does NOT invalidate their 10 year warranty on new builds.

Cost-Effective Solution

With all these benefits, you might think LoftLeg is a costly option. Unlike other expensive raised platform systems, it’s a very cost-effective solution, providing excellent value for money. The system not only protects your existing insulation but also adds value to your home by increasing storage space safely and affordably.
