I just installed some 16" x 16" panels, and it was fast and easy. I installed these for safety (not falling through the floor) and more storage space, and am very happy with the sturdyness and look of the installed panels. The only shortcoming of the system is I ended up with some gaps where a 16" x 16" wouldn't fit. It would be great if Attic Dek added an 8" x 16" to their product line for more flexibility in the installation.

Update June 29, 2008 - I ordered a set of 16" x 24" panels intending to swap them for the 16" x 16" panels where I needed 8" more length for a better fit. I discovered it's impossible. The 16" x 24" panels won't lay flat over 16" joists due to an elevated middle. However, I discovered I could accomplish my purpose by cutting the 16" x 16" with a circular saw into two sturdy, smaller panels - one with three nail holes, the other with two holes.

I recently installed a whole house fan in an attic filled with blown fiberglass. With the attic deck panels I was able to quickly and securely floor the work area. This saved lots of time and made the job much easier. Because of their tabs they are quite stable even when not screwed down so I put some down where the fan cutout would be as I worked on measuring and wiring and removed them when I made the cutout. They are pricey for flooring a complete attic but for this job they were great. The ventalation is good too. You don't want to seal the ceiling and these don't.

Great product, but a little pricey. The 8 pack of Attic Dek 16 x 16 inch panels has more value than the 4 pack of 24 x 16 panels in my opinion because of the amount of added space it provides. The panels are super-easy to install, and add a decent amount of space...would get 5 out of 5 and I would order several more if the cost was lower.

This stuff works really well and is extremely easy to install. It's a really good way to add some space in your attic where there is no flooring now. It's a little too pricey to do an entire attic or really vast spaces, but to do a small area or to make a path or something, this stuff really works well. It's also easy to uninstall or to move to another area of the attic if needed, which is also a plus. Also, if ventilation or breathe-ability is important, this will also be a good product to use versus plywood.

This product is extremely easy to install. My wife found this product since we were originally going to put down plywood. However, Attic-Dek allows breath-ability since it is not a solid mass like plywood, so moisture retention is not a problem. It is extremely sturdy and holds up to 250 lbs (I believe it is probably more, but the packaging states this). If you need to make your attic more usable, I would highly recommend this product.

This is a great product. We now have convenient storage space in the attic for Christmas decorations, etc. Because we have a condo built in the 40's, some of the rafters are not consistent in spacing. By folding over tabs on one side of the panels, we were able to fit the panels where the space was slightly less than 16". We're ready to buy more.

I bought this for extra storage space in the attic. They arrived quickly without a scratch. A six pack does not cover that much space however. For the price it was easier and cheaper to put down some plywood giving me more space to walk and store stuff. Also, be CERTAIN that the studs are 16 inches... in typical wall construction studs are placed 16 inches on center, it is also typical that depending on your roof/ceiling type that the floor studs are NOT always 16 inches apart.

The attic decks are a great idea for those wanting to put attic space to use.
