So, you’ve had your loft professionally boarded and are ready to start using it for storage. But what’s the best way to store your belongings efficiently, effectively, and safely? Here are some clever tips to help you maximise storage space while keeping everything organised and safe.
Safe Loft Storage Boxes
One of the simplest yet most effective methods for safe loft storage is using stackable plastic containers. This protects your belongings from dust and damage, while keeping them organised. By adding labels on top, you’ll be able to locate and retrieve items easily.
Most importantly, storage boxes prevent the loft floor from becoming cluttered, reducing the risk of trips or falls. The last thing you want is an injury while navigating your loft!
For an even more efficient use of space, professionally installed truss shelving can enhance your loft storage setup. Shelving helps to reduce clutter and frees up floor space, making your loft more accessible. It also allows you to transfer boxes safely by reducing the need to lift heavy items from the floor, which can minimise the risk of injury.
To explore loft shelving and other bespoke options, Key Loft Storage offers a variety of solutions to help you make the most of your loft space.
Loft Ladder Balustrades & Grab Rails
Safety isn’t just important inside the loft – entering and exiting safely is crucial too. A loft balustrade or grab rail helps prevent accidents at the loft entrance, like falling or dropping items as you move them into storage.
Available in timber or steel, grab rails provide a sturdy anchor to help you pull yourself up into the loft. At Key Loft Storage, we offer a choice of loft ladder balustrades and grab rails to ensure safer access to your loft.
Non-Slip Mats
To further enhance safety in your loft, consider placing non-slip mats on the boarded floor. Dust and dirt can accumulate over time, making surfaces slippery. A few non-slip mats along key areas of the loft can solve this issue easily, and they are available at most homeware stores at a reasonable price.
Consult the Experts
