8 Easy Ways To Convert A Loft Into Storage Space
As you go about your day at home, do you feel like the things you own have begun to pile up? Clutter and things that you don’t seem to use very often can start to get in the way and leave you feeling cramped. Eventually, you might think about having to move home or sell possessions — the alternative is to live with the sensation that there is never enough room.
Click on the moving numbers below to find out more about each loft storage room element.
Velux window
Add natural light and fresh air to make your loft space a more comfortable and pleasant part of the home.
Loft lighting
Avoid juggling torches and potential injuries with dedicated loft lighting. Choose from simple bulbs and fluorescent tubes.
Loft balustrade
Improve the safety of your loft with a timber or metal balustrade. These provide stability for entering and exiting the loft and help to prevent accidents.
Loft boarding/flooring
Maximise the space in your loft with loft flooring and boarding, creating a sturdy storage area without compressing your insulation.
Plasterboarded walls
Complete the look and feel of your storage room with plasterboarded loft walls, providing a clean and more inviting space.
Insulation
Improve the thermal qualities in your loft space for a warmer home in winter and lower energy bills. Add insulation to both the flooring and rafters in the shape of reflective foil or mineral wool insulation.
Loft hatch
Create safe and secure access for your loft storage room when carrying items with a made-to-measure, insulated loft hatch.
Loft ladder
Make it simple to enter and exit your loft anytime you like with a loft ladder tailored to your home. Choose from aluminium and timber ladders, as well as telescopic and folding functionality.
But if you have a loft in your home, then the answer to your problems could be just above your head. Whether it’s because you haven’t fully boarded out your loft to maximise space or because you’ve got exposed beams and insulation with no boarding at all, it can be easier than you think to use this space.
Converting your loft into a dedicated storage space is made simple thanks to the expertise of our team here at Loft Storage Rooms. We’ll provide a range of installation ideas that allow you to realise the full potential of your loft for storage, making it a clean and easily accessible part of the home. To help inspire you, here are eight different ways in which you can improve your loft space:
Velux window
Add natural light and fresh air to your normally dark and dank loft space with a Velux window – you’ll find it becomes a much more attractive space. This also makes it easier to store things neatly and to find any items you need, such as suitcases, avoiding injuries and the constant fumbling around with mystery items.
Loft lighting
From standard bulbs and switches to illuminate your storage room to fluorescent tube lights, loft lighting can be configured to suit the size and shape of your space. This means you won’t need to juggle with torches or phone lights when entering and exiting your loft.
Loft balustrade
Safety should always be at the top of your list of priorities, and with either a metal or timber loft balustrade, you can make getting up into your loft much safer. Not only do they offer greater stability as you enter and exit, but they also reduce the risk of accidentally stepping through the hatch space.
Loft boarding/flooring
Create a tidy and stable space with professional loft boarding. This allows you to get into your loft space without worrying about where to stand. Plus, our loft flooring solutions ensure your insulation is not compressed thanks to the use of raised boards where required.
Plasterboarded walls
Complete the look and feel of your loft storage room with plasterboarded walls. This helps to create a clean and tidy space that you feel comfortable regularly accessing, rather than the exposed beams and roof underside that are less aesthetically pleasing.
Insulation
Loft insulation is vital for keeping your home warm and reducing your energy bills. From mineral wool insulation between your joists to solarshield insulation and rafter linings using reflective foil, improving your loft storage room can make you more comfortable and your home more environmentally friendly.
Loft hatch
Make it easy to get up and down from your loft with an FSC-approved timber hatch, made to measure for your home. Whether you simply want to round off the look of your loft storage room, create a slightly wider aperture for access or improve your insulation, a new loft hatch can provide a touch of style and quality.
Loft ladder
Gone are the days of needing to haul a step ladder up onto your landing. With an integrated loft ladder professionally installed by our team, you can safely get in and out of your loft whenever you need with zero hassle. You can choose wooden or aluminium materials and there are different configurations to provide the best solution for any home, whether that’s telescopic or folding ladders.
