Very easy to install, even over existing insulation. I used this product to form a path to a remote electrical box that needed repair.

This stuff rocks. I just installed about 20 of 'em in my attic. We had some critters up there nesting in the blown insulation, and I wanted sure footing when "walking the plank" through there. The nice thing about these Attic Dek panels is I was able to use them to install them, if that makes sense. Install one, then kneel on it while installing the next...and then the next, etc. They are not cheap, but it is SO nice being able to walk around up there now. The old plywood planks are gone.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Happy with this product. Was dreading the installation, but it went very smoothly. Each piece just snapped in, then went back with the screws after all were in place. Home Depot had a much better price than anywhere else online too.

Having a large family, we needed to utilize storage space in the attic without ruining the integrity of the insulation. This product was easy to install and has created a large area for storage. I plan on purchasing another case or two. Well worth the money.

I think folks are beating up on the value b/c of the the freight costs. Each carton (20 pcs) weighs 57LB. These ship free freight. UPS is not cheap so there's at least $20 right there. On the other hand it is just plastic, but good plastic.
The product itself is very good. I like that I can walk around the attic safely w/o fear of stepping on plywood the wrong way and getting hit on the head. I also like that is resting on the studs, not insulation -- so it is easier to breathe while working around the attic. Also since each panel is relatively small you can make adjustments where there are different elevations within attic.
Also as others have said installation is a breeze.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I use this in my attic for maintenance and storage. I have a type of insulation that was blown in and looks like pocket lint. Installation of the Attic Dek flooring allows the insulation to breathe and does not lower the R-value by compressing the insulation as much as plywood does. Due to the cost of this product, however; I will be forced to use a mixture of plywood and Attic Dek to finish off the areas I want to use for storage. If it were even $3/panel instead of $5.55/panel I wouldn't have this gripe. Also would be nice if it were sold in stores...
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Attic Dek panels work as advertised. Highly recommend that you measure to get the right size panels before you order. I measured twice in two different areas and the panels I received fit well and are easy to install with the provided screws. The only thing that affects the fit of the panels is if there is reinforcement boards nailed to the joists, the panels will not fit because the joists may be 16" on center but the extra board changes the measurement to 14" on center, but you just need to move them to an area that is 16" on center and they fit. I used them to move around my unfinished attic space to do some maintenance before I permanently installed them for extra storage space. I am highly satisfied with the product.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I received the wrong size, so I can to return it and have not gotten the right ones. However, I was very impressed by the attic panels - sturdy plastic that would not rot or bend. I just wish they carried it in the stores - looks much better in person.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Have these up in my attic and they work well. Feel sturdy enough to stand and easy to map out my own pattern. Somewhat at the mercy of how the studs are places, but not too hard to work around that.

1. Measure beam distance edge to edge, not center to center, there are centering tabs on the underside that of each panel that will make you crazy if you're off by even a 1/16th of inch. space needs to be 16"+.
2. Check to be sure your layout is across single beams, not overlapping 2x6's. You'll have to offset the panels if they are.
3. To break off the tabs, hold with a strong pair of pliers and bend the panel back and forth about 6 times then twist. Don't bend the pliers.
4. Buy more panels than you think you need; The Home Depot 20 pack is a very good deal. Don't be surprised if you get stiffed on the screws though, I got screws in one box only of 2 that I ordered. Replacements are 8x2" Countertop screws, available by the box at-- you guessed it.
5. Consider knee pads for installation, the pattern is painful to lean on for extended periods.
6. Power screw driver is a must.
Overall a very nice product, esp if you have small access to the attic and can't fit planks up it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

These tiles go down quickly and easily and look great when done. Be sure to seal any gaps in the floor (partition walls, light fixtures) before installing. The ventilated design allows any moisture to evaporate instead of getting trapped under a plywood floor potentially causing mold growth. If the beams aren't quite 16" on center you can easily break the tabs off on the bottom to allow some movement before screwing them down. So far they seem very strong with only minor flex when walking on them. The price is the reason for 4 stars. These could easily add up to $1000 or more to cover an attic floor. I think the price should come down or allow for a larger bulk purchase than 20.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This product worked great; I used the most of the panels to create access pathways in my attic and kept four in my tool kit. I placed more insulation in my attic this winter and I used some of the panels to make myself a work platform as I worked through the attic. A few of my joints had rounded edges or where not square and the platforms were hard to fit but I was able to easily work around these issues. I will never do a job again in the attic without taking my four panels with me!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this item online and truly believe that it will dramatically reduce the possibility of a person in my attic from falling thru the ceiling. I have a Central Air Unit in my attic that periodically requires service. The item is sturdy, supports up to 250 lbs. and was easy to install. I only wish that the item was available in the store, so that I could check it out before buying it and avoid the $30. shipping charge.
Yes, I recommend this product.
