Loft Flooring by Professional Installers Throughout Scotland
New home owners are often told that they can’t use their loft as storage space. Cue piled up boxes & rarely used items, crammed into a cupboard or – worse – your garage.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
It’s true, you don’t want to compromise your insulation or restrict ventilation when adding flooring to your loft.
And that’s where LoftZone comes in. This certified & industry-approved loft boarding system brings you all the benefits – most of all, protecting your insulation & your warranty – without the risks & downsides.
Read on to find out how it works! And if you still have questions, check out our Loft Boarding FAQs or get in touch.
Why Raised Flooring?
There are two main reasons why loft flooring must be raised, and not placed directly on the joists.
- Squashing insulation drastically reduces its efficiency. It's the air gaps within which keep your house warm.
- Placing boards directly on joists restricts ventilation and can prevent moisture escaping from insulation.
Why LoftZone?
LoftZone is a multi award-winning loft flooring product. It is the only system currently available which carries independent certification by the BBA making it suitable for use in homes with the recommended amount of insulation. Other plastic support products don't have this endorsement.
Using timber to build up the joists is commonly done, but is not recommended. It restricts cross-joist airflow, fails thermal bridging requirements and is far heavier than the LoftZone system. Learn more >

Simple, Strong, Unique Design
The patented StoreFloor loft storage system consists of only 3 parts: The metal Cross-Beams, which you screw the boards on to, and the recycled plastic Tri-Supports and Uni-Supports, which screw into your joists and carry the load
Strong galvanized steel cross-beams
The Cross-Beams make the raised deck safe to walk upon and faster to install. Beams are the only safe way to support loftboards, and allow you to avoid inevitable obstructions on joists such as pipes or wiring. Other leg or stilt products are unable to do this
Adjustable supports for irregularly spaced joists
The Cross-Beams slide along the top of the Tri-Supports – to deal with the common problem of variable spacing between joists. Without this, the boards may not reach the next joist and will be unsafe
Lighter and faster to install than timber
StoreFloor is much lighter and faster than using timber to raise the loft floor, and is a better insulator too - keeping your heating bills down
Designed to promote airflow to reduce condensation
StoreFloor leaves an air gap underneath the boards, to prevent condensation. (Note that some other raised loft products aren’t tall enough for this essential feature)
