Loft Stilts UK — Raised Loft Boarding System
Loft Stilts for Raised Loft Boarding
Raise loft boards above your insulation and create safe, usable storage space — without losing a single degree of heat.
Shop Loft StiltsWhat Are Loft Stilts?
Loft stilts are purpose-built supports that clip directly onto your roof joists. They create a raised platform above your insulation, so you can lay loft boards without compressing or damaging the insulation beneath.
Without stilts, boards laid directly on insulation flatten it — and flattened insulation loses most of its ability to keep heat in your home. Loft stilts solve this completely. They hold your boards at a fixed height above the insulation, leaving it fully intact and performing at full depth.
Installation requires no cutting, no drilling, and no specialist tools. If you can use a screwdriver, you can fit loft stilts.
Why Use Loft Stilts?
Protect Your Insulation
Boards sit above the insulation, not on top of it. Your insulation stays at full depth and continues to perform exactly as it should.
Create Usable Storage
Turn your loft into a proper storage area with a solid, load-bearing platform that can hold boxes, luggage, and seasonal items.
DIY Friendly
No specialist tools or skills required. Stilts clip onto joists and boards screw down in minutes. A full loft can be boarded in a day.
Built for UK Lofts
Designed to work with standard UK joist spacings and insulation depths, including the recommended 270mm mineral wool insulation.

How to Install Loft Stilts
Fitting loft stilts is a straightforward DIY job. Here is the process in three simple steps:
Clip the Stilts
Position each stilt over a joist and press down firmly until it clips into place. Space them according to the manufacturer's guidelines — typically every 400–600mm.
Place the Boards
Lay your loft boards across the stilts. They sit flat and stable above the insulation, creating a solid, level platform ready for use.
Screw Down the Boards
Fix each board to the stilts using 4.0 × 30mm screws. This locks the platform firmly in place and prevents any movement or creaking.
