Installing Space Board in an empty loft
STEP 1- Ensure 100mm Space Blanket / Space Combi-Roll / glass mineral wool insulation is installed between ceiling joists.
STEP 2- Lay Space Board across joists in the designated storage area. Each 1200mm long Space Board should be typically supported by 3 joists.
STEP 3- Lay chipboard on top of Space Board and secure into ceiling joists with screws. Depending on the size of your loft, it may be practical to split your loft into sections implementing steps 2 and 3 accordingly.
STEP 4- Install 200mm Space Blanket or 170mm Space Combi-Roll around the designated Space Board storage area (i.e. over ceiling joists).
Installing Space Board over existing chipboard
STEP 1- Remove all stored goods and coverings from existing loft chipboards and clean thoroughly.
STEP 2- Lay Space Board over existing chipboard.
STEP 3- Lay chipboard on top of Space Board and secure into ceiling joists with screws.
STEP 4- Install 200mm Space Blanket or 170mm Space Combi-Roll around the designated Space Board storage area (i.e. over ceiling joists).
Tanks & Pipes
Fasten loft insulation all around and on top of your cold water tank to protect from freezing. Do Not insulate directly underneath the water tank. Wrap water pipes to protect from frost.
Electricals
Insulation must not be laid over electric cables. Carefully, lift electrical cables above the insulation so that they do not overheat. Ensure there are no loose or disconnected wires and re-route them if necessary. Insulation should be kept at least 75mm away from recessed light fittings and hot flues to prevent them from overheating.
