Attic Ladder Installation and Flooring
Upgrading your attic into a usable space is every homeowner’s dream. However, to ensure that you are making the most of the additional room, proper attic flooring is necessary to create a safe and valuable surface for storage or living purposes. And you want to make sure that your attic ladder is stable and correctly installed for safety.
Incorrectly installing an attic ladder or completely ignoring the need for attic flooring can potentially lead to exponential repair costs later down the line.

Benefits of Proper Attic Flooring
Increased Safety
The main reason you should install proper attic flooring is that it improves the safety of the space. As with all construction projects, the attic must meet the Attic Building Codes & Standards. It should be strong enough to handle people’s weight and any extra furniture or storage items. During the initial consultation, we’ll bring in qualified structural engineers to determine how the floor needs to be reinforced as part of the conversion process.
Improved Home Insulation
The proper attic flooring will assist with your home’s insulation. Providing an extra barrier between the roof and the rest of the home prevents heat loss and gain during winter and summer. Adding an even, flat surface can also help distribute the weight of items, preventing damage to the already installed insulation and giving more space for extra insulation on top. These improvements will also positively impact your home’s energy rating, reducing bills in the long term.
Increased Home Value
Installing flooring in the attic will maximise your home’s potential and increase its overall value. This is especially true if you plan to convert the attic into a storage room or living room. From an improved aesthetic appeal to increased usable space, potential buyers could see this investment as a key selling point when considering your home.
