Loft flooring system

摘要

The present invention provides a loft flooring system that comprises: a plurality of bridging supports each adapted to bridge between an adjacent substantially parallel pair of joists of a loft floor and having a first upright leg with a foot to mount onto a first of the joists and a second upright leg with a foot to mount onto a second of the joists, and a spanning element therebetween onto which flooring boards/panels may be laid. The insulation can be laid between the joists to a required depth rising above the joists and the bridging support mounted in place accommodating the laid insulation thereunder so that the insulation remains substantially un-compacted and fully effective.

1. A loft flooring system installed to the joists of a loft floor having a void/channel between a joist of the loft floor and loft insulation laid in the void/channel between the joists, the system comprising:
a plurality of bridging supports each bridging support bridging between a substantially parallel pair of joists of a loft floor and each having:
i) a first upright leg with a fool mounted onto a first of said pair of joists;ii) a second upright leg with a foot mounted onto a second of said pair of joists; andiii) a spanning element that is a beam spanning between the upper ends of the legs, the bridging supports being assembled connected in a row to provide a support assembly extending in a direction transverse to the joists with a flooring board or panel laid thereon, wherein the bridging support forms a bridge over the joists at a height above the joists with a void between the legs that is contiguous with the void/channel between the joists so that the insulation laid between the joists is not compacted by the bridging support, and wherein the foot of the first and/or second upright leg is formed with a right-angled bracket that fits to a top surface and a sidewall of the joist.
