The loft is often the most neglected area in the house, yet it offers fantastic potential for creating a safe and efficient storage space. Properly boarded, your loft not only expands your floor space but also reduces clutter and improves your home’s energy efficiency.
When investing in loft boarding, consider these four effective strategies to maximise your storage capacity and make the most of your space.
-
Invest in Expert Loft Boarding
A professional loft boarding system can add up to 50% more usable floor space. We recommend using raised loft boarding to enhance your loft space without compromising insulation quality.
You can either fit the boards yourself or hire an approved installer. With Key Loft Storage, your loft can support up to 500kg per square metre thanks to its robust supports-stronger than typical loft joists.
-
Install Loft Shelving
Loft shelving is an efficient way to boost storage capabilities in your boarded loft. This straightforward solution keeps your space organised, making items easy to store and retrieve.
Specialist truss shelves maximise your loft’s potential by integrating with the roof beams, providing vertical storage above the fitted loft boarding to minimise floor clutter.
-
Use Storage Boxes
Storage boxes are a simple yet effective solution for protecting valuable items like photographs, paperwork, and clothing. Available in various sizes and designs, they guard against dampness and pests.
For those without effective loft boarding, these boxes keep belongings safe. Even with a boarded loft, they offer a fantastic way to organise items. Consider designating boxes for seasonal items like birthdays or Christmas, and label them for easy access near the hatch.
-
Add Hooks and Pegs
Hooks and pegs provide an ideal solution for storing kitchen utensils, clothing, or seasonal decorations. For added convenience, install them alongside your truss shelving and loft boarding to optimise every storage option.
Unlock Your Storage Potential
These four easy solutions can significantly enhance the organisation and capacity of your loft, preventing the clutter of squeezing everything into a small space.
