3 Reasons to Pay More Attention to Your Attic

How often do you think about your attic?

 

It sits at the top of your house, nestled just under the roof, and you kind of forget it exists. It might serve no use to you whatsoever – it could just be an empty space. Some of you will say that your attic isn’t boarded up, so why bother thinking about it? You can’t put anything up there, so it’s pointless to pay attention to it. 

 

Well, I hate to say this, but you’re wrong. You should pay attention to your attic as it can be one of the most important parts of your property. There’s a lot you can do here, and it’s a space that impacts the rest of your home. If you don’t believe me or are super confused, then here are a few reasons to stop sleeping on your attic space: 

 

1. It can be a built-in storage solution

Plenty of people use their attic space for storage purposes. You might think this is a waste of perfectly good space, but it’s not. If your attic is boarded up, then you can create an organized storage space up there. This gets loads of clutter out of your house and hidden away. As a result, you free up loads of space throughout the home. Even if your attic isn’t boarded up, you can always pay to get this done! Now, you have an extra area to take advantage of. 

 

2. It directly affects your energy bills & can help you save a fortune

Your attic is crucial as it impacts how efficient your home heating system is. What do you think happens to all the heat generated in your home? It rises upwards. This is pure science, and there’s no way to avoid it. So, it travels up through your home and into the attic. Now what? If you don’t have proper insulation, then so much heat will escape. This means your house temperature drops, so you turn up the thermostat. As a consequence, your heating bill goes through the roof (literally). 

 

Don’t neglect your attic as you need to ensure it traps as much heat in as possible. You can see there are companies like Metro Express Service that offer attic insulation services. It’s a good idea to replace old insulation or get your attic checked out to see if more can be added. This way, you start saving money every month. 

 

3. It can add an extra room to your home

You can also transform your attic into another room. This is so beneficial as it will save you so much time, effort, and money. Think about it, what happens if you have a new child on the way? Your house doesn’t have enough bedrooms for everyone, so you think about moving – or building an extension. Both of these things take time and cost a fortune. But, if you turn your attention to the attic, you have a solution waiting for you. Transform it into a new bedroom, and your home is better equipped to handle your growing family. 

 

Check out the video above to see how dramatically your home can change with an attic conversion!

 

All in all, you have to pay attention to your attic as it has so many uses. Stop thinking of it as this empty space and start thinking about it in a more practical sense.
