4 Ways to Increase Your Loft Storage

The loft is one of the most neglected rooms in the house, but it offers fantastic opportunities to create a safe and easy loft storage space for all of your belongings. When boarded correctly, not only does your newly functional loft increase your overall floor space, it also helps to reduce clutter in your home and improve the energy efficiency of your house. 

When investing in loft boarding, there are a few ways to maximise your storage capacity and make the most out of your space. From quick and easy loft storage improvements, to expert investments to ensure your home is finished to the highest quality. 

Discover our top four tips on enhancing your attic storage space.

Invest in Expert Loft Boarding

Installing a professional loft boarding system can add up to 50% more floor space to your loft. We recommend using raised loft boarding to increase your storage capacity without compromising the quality or efficiency of your insulation. 

With a loft boarding system you have the choice of fitting it yourself, or contacting an approved installer to fit the boards for you. With the Loftzone StoreFloor, your loft boarding can hold up to 500kg per square metre due to its Tri and Uni Supports, which are all made from strong engineering recycled plastic, making it stronger than typical loft joists. 

Loft Shelving 

Loft shelving is one of the easiest, most efficient ways to improve the storage capabilities in your boarded loft. This easy loft storage solution helps to ensure your space is organised and functional, keeping your items safe and simple to store and retrieve. 

Specialist truss shelves can help to maximise the use of your loft’s storage capacity. These shelving systems are built into the trussed roof beams in a continuous run; this provides vertical storage above the fitted loft boarding to help to reduce any clutter left on the floor.

Loft Storage Boxes

Simple but highly effective; storage boxes are an easy loft storage solution for those looking to protect precious items like photographs, paperwork, or clothing. Available in many different sizes and designs, storage boxes provide an extra layer of protection from damage caused by damp or insects. 

Loft storage boxes are a fantastic option for those without effective loft boarding installed that want to keep their belongings protected. However, they’re also a great way to safely organise your items in a boarded loft too! 

Consider some boxes that are specifically used for birthdays or Christmas. As they are yearly events, perhaps label and store these boxes nearer to the hatch for easy loft storage access.

Hooks and Pegs

Whether you’re storing old kitchen utensils, clothing, or seasonal decorations; hooks and pegs are an ideal way to store extra items in your loft. For added, and affordable convenience consider installing them alongside your truss shelving and loft boarding to ensure every storage option is available.
