100% NHBC Compliant
Maintains 270mm insulation & structural warranty
Yes, absolutely — provided it is installed using an approved raised subframe platform!
New homes built by developers such as Bellway, Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey, Robertson Homes, and Miller Homes across County Durham (including Mount Oswald, Durham Gate, and Darlington developments) come with 270mm-350mm of thick thermal quilt.
Builders often advise against boarding because screwing DIY boards directly into the ceiling joists compresses the quilt and overloads weak bottom chords. Our approved Loft-E® raised metal system solves this by transferring load safely into the structural truss web nodes while elevating the boarding to allow room for the insulation.
Follows NHBC Technical Standards Chapter 7.2 for pitched roofs and ceiling joist loading.
Protects your EPC energy rating and prevents cold spots that cause mould on upstairs ceilings.
Maintains 50mm clear ventilation path across roof eaves to satisfy UK Building Regulations Part L.
