Choosing a builder is a big commitment, so to help you we’ve put together this blog on what to look for in an attic builder.
You wouldn’t ask a dentist to test your eye sight, but when it comes to creating an attic space, some people think that any builder will do. Unless you know what to look for, you may end up with a disappointing product, so here at Roof Space Renovators we’ve shared our tips for picking the right contractor below.
DetailsThere are lots of things to consider when converting your attic, such as reinforcing its structure, installing flooring, and, of course, the type of room you want your conversion to be. However, another, often overlooked, factor when renovating your attic space is its ventilation.
Proper ventilation is crucial for cooling down space in your attic so it’s habitable, preventing roof damage and other avoidable repairs, and preserving the structural integrity and value of your home.
So with that firmly in mind, let’s take a look at the benefits of proper attic ventilation and how you can properly ventilate your home.
DetailsHaving 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.

The spare bedroom that was being used as a home office, becomes a kids bedroom. The computer and desk then moves into the living area. Pretty quickly, the once organised house, becomes cluttered and small. Then you find out the next child will be arriving. Sound familiar?
