Elevated Attic Walkway

Fls can help turn previously unused overhead space into walkway space suitable for overhead maintenance by designing and installing elevated catwalk systems with stair access.

Elevated attic walkway.

In this video we install an elevated walkway in a house that we are installing fiberglass insulation and radiant barrier in. We install the elevated walkway so that the insulation does not get. Our catwalk systems are designed to exceed osha standards and keep your employees fully protected while working at height. The intent is to lay down the boards and the ends should attach to a ceiling rafter.

An attic walkway doesn t have to be pretty or expensive. We used leftover plywood scraps to build ours an attic walkway also needs enough support. Prefabricated catwalks also called elevated walkways come in 12 foot sections comparable to common conveyor section lengths. The attic walkway is constructed so that sits above the horizontal chords of your attic.

The floor must extend beyond the insulation so that the insulation is properly covered. Because of this the space is able to supporting heavy loads. We normally recommend that you place plywood over the top of the rafters creating a walkway to the a c and in that area only lay in one or two layers of unfaced fiberglass blanket on top of the plywood walkway and around the ac unit itself. Place the first plywood sheet on top of the 2x structure starting by the attic entrance.

Width options are 24 30 and 36 inches. The surface itself just has to be strong enough to handle your weight along with tools and gear.
