Full details

The Loft Leg XL is designed for homeowners looking to maximize their loft storage space while maintaining effective insulation. Its primary benefit is preventing insulation compression, which can significantly reduce the efficiency of your loft insulation. However, it's crucial to ensure your loft's joists are suitable for the installation and weight of the storage. The Loft Leg XL is a lightweight, easy-to-install solution to avoid insulation compression when using your loft for storage. It is strong and manufactured in the UK from recycled polypropylene.
