Roof Space Storage from Attic Ladders

Attic Ladders & Storage Tells You Why Roof Storage Is So Great.

The first reaction of many couples and families when faced with the classic dilemma of 'having too much junk' is to either throw it all out, or put it into an off-site storage facility. There is, however, a smarter option that not only keeps your stuff at home and accessible but can also increase the value of your home - roof space storage.

Legal requirements
The legal criteria for a storage area are far easier to meet than those for an attic bedroom. Pull-down ladders for access are entirely acceptable, and the area can be virtually any size and shape. You'll have to make sure solid flooring is installed by a builder and that the area meets standard electrical safety requirements.

Other things to consider
If your storage space is going to be getting a lot of use, ventilation and natural light are important considerations. A simple skylight can be an easy and affordable solution to both of these issues. Wind-powered options like the TurboBeam products are also a great idea

Insulation
If your home doesn't already have insulation, there's no better time to have it installed than while other work is being done in your roof. Ask your attic specialist about having insulation installed in conjunction with your attic conversion. Effective insulation can save anywhere up to 40 per cent of your energy bill.
