FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity per leg?

Each Loft-Trac 300mm Uni-Support leg is designed to support up to 350kg.

Can I install this system over existing loft insulation?

Yes, this system is specifically designed to elevate loft boards above your insulation without compressing it, thus maintaining its thermal efficiency.

What are the legs made of?

The legs are engineered from a durable blend of 70% Polypropylene (PP) and 30% fiberglass, providing strength and resistance to warping.

Is this system suitable for all types of lofts?

It is particularly well-suited for lofts with lower headroom or compact spaces. Ensure your joists are sound and compatible with the leg's fixing mechanism.

How do I ensure proper airflow?

The design of the legs and the elevated boarding naturally promote airflow between the insulation and the loft boards, preventing dampness.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Basic DIY tools are generally sufficient, but refer to the product's installation guide for specific requirements, which may include a drill or screwdriver.

Where is the Loft-Trac system designed?

The Loft-Trac Uni-Support system is designed in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Legs feel unstable after installation

Ensure each leg is firmly locked onto the joist and that the top plate is fully engaged with the loft board. Check for any debris under the base of the leg preventing a flush fit.

Loft boards are sagging

Verify that the legs are spaced correctly according to your boarding material's span limits. Ensure the correct number of legs are used for the area being boarded and that they are all securely fixed.

Difficulty securing legs to joists

Confirm you are using compatible joist types. Ensure the joist surface is clean and free from obstructions. Refer to the specific installation guide for the Uni-Support system for detailed fitting instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves loft insulation effectiveness by preventing compression.
  • Provides a very strong and stable platform for storage or even living space.
  • Durable materials ensure a long lifespan and resistance to warping.
  • Helps prevent dampness issues by allowing for airflow.
  • Easy to install for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for lofts with lower headroom or compact spaces.
  • Requires careful planning to ensure correct leg placement for joists.
  • An initial investment compared to simply laying boards directly on insulation (which is not recommended).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your loft joists are sound and meet minimum structural requirements.
  2. Determine the desired height for your loft boards (the 300mm legs provide a fixed elevation).
  3. Place the Loft-Trac legs directly onto the joists at your planned intervals, ensuring the base is flush.
  4. Secure each leg firmly to the joist according to manufacturer instructions (typically interlocking or screwing).
  5. Lay your loft boards across the tops of the legs, ensuring they are securely fitted and level.

Compatibility:

The Loft-Trac 300mm Uni-Support is designed to work with standard UK loft joists. It is compatible with most types of loft boarding, including plywood and OSB boards. It is ideal for lofts with existing insulation that you wish to preserve the effectiveness of.

Care:

These legs are engineered from a durable PP and fiberglass blend and require minimal care. Keep the area around the legs clear of debris. Periodically check that the legs remain firmly secured to the joists and that no damage has occurred. No special cleaning agents are required; a simple wipe-down with a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient if necessary.
