The Loft Leg is a unique design protected solution to avoid insulation compression when using your loft for storage.
Government guidelines recommend that we insulate with 270mm of quilt insulation to achieve a U value of 0.16 (www.energysavingtrust.org.uk).
Thermal studies have shown that compressing your insulation can reduce its thermal properties by more than 50%.
A 300mm Loft Leg XL fixed on top of a 100mm truss or ceiling joist provides a cost effective solution.
Developed by a team of engineers and designers the Loft Leg is strong, lightweight and easy to install.
