The Growing Attic Trend in Australia

Additional Space

When you love your home and your neighbourhood, suddenly having to move houses because you’ve run out of space can be difficult. Unused roof space usually takes up up to 30% of the space in your home, and by converting it into an attic you can significantly increase your living space. Attics aren’t just great for storage too, they can be turned into bedrooms or game rooms! Plus, renovating your roof space is much more affordable than moving to a bigger home.

Increased Property Value

Converting your attic into a new room, like a playroom or bedroom, also increases your property’s value. This is because the more rooms a certain property has, the higher its asking price can be. This also increases its chances of getting sold later on, as having extra rooms in the house is an appealing feature to buyers. 

Since this means family members will be going up and down the attic often, it’s best to invest in high-quality ladders that can handle the foot traffic. Argus Building Products offers premium attic ladders and building products with different materials and lengths to suit your home’s standards. These also come in varying price points to match your budget.

Boost in Insulation

One great benefit of having a finished attic is the added insulation. Studies show that unfinished attics can lead to moisture build-up and air leaks inside the home, which can make it simultaneously colder and more humid. This leads to higher energy bills during summer and winter. By renovating your roof space, you can seal any cracks found and greatly improve your home’s living conditions.
