Shop Loft StiltsThe Problem with Standard Loft Boarding
Most homeowners who want to use their loft for storage make the same mistake: they lay boards directly on top of their insulation. It looks fine, but it causes a serious problem that is invisible from above.
Insulation works by trapping air within its fibres. When boards are placed on top, the weight compresses those fibres flat — and flattened insulation loses a significant portion of its thermal performance. Your home loses heat through the roof, your energy bills rise, and the insulation you paid for is no longer doing its job.
This is not a minor issue. The UK government recommends 270mm of loft insulation for a reason. Compressing it to even half that depth can dramatically increase heat loss — and once it is compressed, it rarely recovers fully.
The Solution: Loft Stilts
Loft stilts are purpose-built supports that clip onto your joists and raise the boarding platform above your insulation, leaving it completely undisturbed. The boards sit on the stilts — not on the insulation — so the insulation stays at full depth and continues to perform exactly as it should.
The result is the best of both worlds: a solid, load-bearing loft storage platform, and insulation that keeps your home warm and your energy bills low. You do not have to choose between storage and efficiency.
Installation is a straightforward DIY job. Stilts clip onto joists without cutting or drilling, boards lay across them, and screws fix everything in place. Most homeowners complete a full loft boarding project in a single day.
