Adsibob Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The chipboard floor has gone down in our loft conversion. There is an 5.5m2 area which has restricted height which we are going to use as a storage space. Is it worth putting something over the chipboard to protect it, or should I just leave it as bare chipboard. The only reason I can think of putting something down is that if the roof were ever to leak or if something spilled internally the chipboard would get wet. If I were to cover it with something, what's the cheapest thing to use? Linoleum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 My loft has chipboard unprotected, with a new roof I feel confident it won’t leak, if your not then bung a coat of flooring polyurethane varnish over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 If it is the waterproof type, then dampness is not an issue. But your roof should not leak, and if it did it would pond on the lino and then run off. Try without. For a cheap fix, apply the cling film that is sold as floor protection during works.
