Easier access and handling – with compact 1220 x 253 mm panels
Each board measures 1220 x 253 mm and weighs approximately 3.6 kg, small enough to pass through most loft hatches and manoeuvre in confined attic spaces. The mini panel size reduces single-person lifting and simplifies transport up ladders.
Faster, safer installation in tight lofts and awkward angles, ideal for one-person DIY jobs or trades needing quick access. Less strain when moving boards around the property.
Stable, flush flooring – thanks to TG2 tongue & groove on long edges
Tongue & groove on the two long edges (TG2) allows panels to slot together and form a close-fitting seam across the floor. The interlocking edges minimise movement and help distribute small loads across adjacent boards.
Creates a secure surface for storage boxes and regular access, reducing lifting or bouncing underfoot. Suited to overlay jobs and reinforcing existing loft joists when fixed correctly.
Ready-to-use storage surface – with furniture-grade P2 chipboard and E1 compliance
P2-rated chipboard provides a smooth, furniture-grade top finish suitable for placing items directly onto the boards. E1 formaldehyde compliance confirms low emissions for safer indoor use.
