Storage Area in Roof Cavity

Job: Install a storage area in the roof cavity above the garage, for the owners of this Sunshine Coast home.

Location: Peregian Springs, Qld 4573

The owners of this home located on Queensland’s gorgeous Sunshine Coast, contacted Roof Space Renovators less than one month following the purchase of their home. They loved their new home and wanted to maintain a tidy, clutter-free environment to enjoy into retirement. However, in order to maintain this level of organisation, they required additional storage to hide-away the items they only require occasionally. Unsure of their options they researched the internet for some ideas. This is when they came across Roof Space Renovators’ attic storage solutions. The idea sparked an interest for them immediately and they gave us a call to organise a consultation.

Our consultant visited and quickly established that the home had a perfect area above the garage that could be utilised for storage. Following a measure and quick chat with the homeowners regarding their storage requirements and how often they planned on accessing the storage area, our consultant recommended our basic attic storage option.

The proposal consisted of a 15m2 basic storage area. The area would be accessed via our quality mid-range Nordic Performance Pine attic ladder, to be installed into the garage ceiling. Our consultant explained that our storage flooring is laid to engineers specifications. Our storage flooring provides a storage capacity of 75kg per m2 plus foot traffic. He also ran through the benefits of the the recommended attic ladder, including the technical specifications such as:

quality mid-range attic ladder
160kg weight load capacity
double handrail
plastic feet
quality finish
available in two opening sizes to suit most homes.

In this case, the owners were able to choose the larger (680mm wide) opening, which just makes taking the larger items through the opening a little easier.

The homeowners quickly accepted our quote. Within a couple of weeks they had their attic ladder and roof space storage area installed. The installation took one day to complete. Before the installer had tidied up and packed his tools, the customer had already begun putting his new storage area to use. Containers, boxes, storage bags filled with blankets and clothing, Christmas decorations, wrapped picture frames, sleeping bags and much more began to fill the area very quickly. Needless to say, he was over the moon.
