Installing Space Board in an empty loft

STEP 1- Ensure bottom layer insulation is installed between ceiling joists

Step 1 - illustration

STEP 2- Run a 10mm-15mm bead of solvent-free adhesive along the joists and then lay Space Board at right angles across the joists in the designated storage area. Apply pressure to each board as it is laid to ensure good adhesion between the board and joists. Each 1200mm long Space Board should be typically supported by 3 joists

Step 2 - illustration

STEP 3- Lay second layer of Space Board over first layer, stagger the boards and glue all joints to ensure a flat, secure deck

Step 3 - illustration

STEP 4- Lay chipboard deck and glue all tongue and groove joints in the deck

Step 4 - illustration

STEP 5-Install top up insulation around the designated Space Board storage area(i.e. over ceiling joists)

Note: Ensure ceiling joists can bear extra loads due to storage.
Electrical cables should be located above the new deck
