Attic Ladders as seen on Better Homes & Gardens
The Better Homes & Gardens team show you how to create more storage in your home by
installing an attic ladder to utilise your roof space. Houses with pitched roofs often have a huge
ceiling area that can be used for lightweight storage. For use as a storage space, the requirements
for alterations and reinforcements are not as extensive as they would be if you were converting the
space to habitable rooms.
The easiest roof spaces to use are those framed in the traditional way with rafters, ceiling joists,
purlins and struts.
More modern truss roofs with the smaller timbers and W-shaped webs, intrude into the useable space
more and cannot be altered in any way without the advice of a structural engineer.
For the ultimate in roof storage have the area professionally fitted out, complete with attic ladder,
flooring, side panelling, lighting and lining with White-Cell insulation. Check out the video on the
