Case Studies
Loft Conversion with Impervia Bare Timber Plank Flooring
A recent project involved converting an underused loft into a comfortable, quiet living space. The homeowner wanted the area to be well-insulated, low-maintenance and free from allergens. They also needed a solution that would reduce noise between floors. After reviewing options, we recommended Impervia Bare Timber Plank flooring.
Project Overview
This was a full-scale loft conversion. The existing roof had to be removed and replaced entirely. Once that was complete, we boarded out the loft and installed high-performance insulation. These early steps were crucial to ensure the loft would be energy efficient and suitable for regular use.
Why Impervia Bare Timber Plank Was Chosen
The flooring choice was critical to the success of the project. Impervia Bare Timber Plank offered several key benefits:
- Built-in acoustic backing that reduces sound transmission by over 75%
- A non-allergenic surface that does not trap dust or allergens
- A natural timber look combined with modern durability and easy maintenance
These features made it ideal for a loft that would be used as a living area.
Installation
Once the structure was in place and insulated, we installed the flooring. The click-lock system allowed for a clean and efficient installation process. Because the acoustic layer is built into the plank, there was no need for additional underlay. This saved time and reduced material costs.
Final Result
The completed loft is now a quiet, warm and attractive part of the home. The sound insulation provided by the flooring was immediately noticeable, with a significant reduction in footfall noise. The wood-look finish added a modern feel while being practical for everyday use. The easy-to-clean surface also suits the homeowner’s need for a hypoallergenic environment.
Final Thoughts
This project demonstrates the value of using a high-quality product like Impervia Bare Timber Plank in loft conversions. Its acoustic properties, hygienic design and visual appeal made it the right choice for creating a peaceful, usable space above the main living areas.
