With spring on the horizon we start to turn our minds to refreshing our homes, decluttering and sorting out any muss and fuss. If you’re one of the many people who rely heavily on their loft to stash out-of-season items and wish it could work harder to act as an additional general storage area, then it’s time to rethink how your attic works. Enter - Loft Leg.
The innovative brand offers game changing solutions for creating more, and safer, storage in your loft without compromising your insulation or costing the earth. Here’s what you need to know…
Store in style
The namesake product of the brand, the Loft Legs themselves, are your easy route to creating a more secure and energy-efficient attic space. These extra-strong and durable legs work by raising the floor of the loft above the insulation, creating a new flat and secure flooring area that you can walk around on and store items on without risking insulation compression.
This means no more dodging areas of open insulation or using boards to create ad hoc flooring surfaces which are not only dangerous but can increase your energy bills thanks to how they negatively affect your insulation.
Create a useful space
Now you have a safe, secure and insulation-protecting floor in place with the use of your Loft Legs, this is where the Loft Ledges come into play. In most attics there’s a huge amount of wasted space between trusses. Yes, you can stack boxes and bags on the floor, but it’s far from organised, takes up a lot of room and makes finding what you need something of a challenge.
Instead, Loft Ledges use those gaps between the trusses to create shelving, meaning you’ll not only have more organised storage space, but you keep the main square footage of the loft clear for sorting through boxes or finding what you need, while the remainder of your belongings sit neatly on the surrounding shelves.
Light it up
If you want to make use of this new found space to go through your stored items in the loft itself, rather than lugging things up and down stepladders, we’d also recommend adding in the handy Loft Bulbs to illuminate the space, and make the area safer for anyone who comes up. It’s an ultra-bright, three panel LED replacement bulb that will fits into any standard B22 bayonet holder, and each of the panels can be adjusted by 90º, meaning you can direct light into any and all areas of even the most oddly laid out loft.
So get ready to experience a safe and beautifully organised loft with Loft Leg and enjoy how this clever company makes your spring clean and declutter so much simpler.
