Converting Attic to Storage Area

Are your cupboards bursting? Is your garage loaded with everything but the cars? Are you using the guest room to store infrequently used items because you have nowhere else to put them? If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions, we may have a solution that will help you free up this essential space. The big question now is – ‘Have you ever thought of transforming your unused attic / roof space into a usable storage space?’ It is often thought that the majority of Qld homes, especially newer built houses, are inadequate for attic storage due to the roof design or lower than desired pitch.

Using the Attic For Storage

If you are considering making use of your attic for storage…..excellent idea! Considering that most Queensland homes are suitable for basic attic storage at the very least, it makes sense to utilise this wasted space. Due to attic storage being a rather niche concept in Queensland, many people are either unaware of the concept or unsure of how it works or how to go about it. The good news is, that Roof Space Renovators are specialists in this area and can answer any questions you may have. We install attic ladders and convert roof spaces into usable attic storage areas daily in South East Queensland. So if you require additional storage space within your home, you are in the right place. Attic storage could very well be the answer to your space issues.

Attic Storage Conversion

As our suburbs are becoming more densely populated with developments galore, houses being built on small blocks and apartments / townhouses popping up everywhere, the requirement for storage is becoming ever-increasing. A shed or extension may not be an option due to small land size and the sheer cost of monthly rental fees for self-storage facilities may be out of the question entirely. The spare room may be full of everything sitting on and under the spare bed, your cupboards may be overflowing, or the garage may be full of everything except the car. If this sounds like you and you are a South East Queensland homeowner….we may very well have the perfect storage solution for you!

Converting roof space to rooms

What do you do when you need more space as a growing family, you don’t want to move, and a traditional extension is not practical due to various reasons such as land size or budget? Look Up!!! This was the exact story for these Mt Gravatt homeowners. Their children were getting older and they felt they were outgrowing the home that they loved. With their home being located on a small suburban block, they felt a traditional extension was an impractical option, not to mention…a little expensive. This is when they started researching alternative options to increase their living space and stumbled across Roof Space Renovators / Attic Group.

Having just purchased their new home, these homeowners were conducting some renovations of the home before they moved in. During the renovation process they quickly established that they were going to face the common ‘lack of storage’ issue many inner city suburb homeowners face. Following some research on storage ideas, they came across the ‘attic’ concept. Although not a new concept in Queensland, transforming the wasted roof space into a usable storage or even living area, is often not thought of and therefore a less likely considered renovation project. Further, it is also a common misconception that attic storage is not possible if the home has ducted air conditioning.

Attic Storage Room with Trusses

Job: To build a functional attic storage room around the trusses in the roof space of this home in Wynnum West.

Location: Wynnum West, Qld 4178

It is a common perception in Queensland that if a roof space is designed with trusses, that attic storage is not practical. Some even believe that attic storage is not possible for truss roofs. Thankfully, these perceptions are misguided and we are happy to report that there are plenty of attic storage rooms in roof spaces all over South East Queensland built in truss roofs, just like the one pictured here.
