After installing attic ladders, you can consider our Dust Proof Room. If you’re considering storing items on your roof, they’ll almost certainly be valuable to you. As a result, you’ll most likely wish to save them for future use or, at the very least, for sentimental reasons. What a tragedy it would be if you discovered that the quality of your prized things had deteriorated due to dust, dampness, or even unexpected visitors over time?
If you have important objects that will be stored on your roof space, you should consider having it converted to a dust-proof attic to ensure that they will survive the test of time.
A good rule of thumb to follow is “if it’s too nice to throw out, it should be preserved correctly.” This involves ensuring that the objects you wish to keep are not just dumped into a shed or an unprotected roof area, but are instead kept in a way that will maintain them and avoid any harm caused by exposure to the weather over time.
Damage caused by dust
Roof spaces may get extremely dusty, and while the damage to stored things may not be seen right away, long-term exposure to dust can permanently discolour surfaces and serve as a breeding ground for dust-mites and other insects.
Any moving components that accumulate too much dust might be permanently damaged or, at the absolute least, difficult to get back into working condition after being stored. Dust exposure can sometimes cause irreversible harm to valuables.
Are drop sheets sufficient?
While many individuals use bed sheets or other types of drop sheets to protect their stored furniture, boxes, or other objects from dust, utilising opaque cloth or canvas to cover your belongings has numerous disadvantages. As a result of the fact that this strategy does not prevent dust from entering the area in which your belongings are housed, the following occurs:
Dust will build beneath sheets and on your belongings over time, so anything you use to cover them will need to be washed or replaced.
Another disadvantage of this method is that you can’t see your stored objects unless you remove the covering sheet, making it difficult to organise your storage space for quick retrieval.
Although a sheet (ideally canvas) can still be a fine choice for covering furniture, vacuum sealed storage bags have become a highly popular alternative since they solve many of the limitations of using sheets.
The efficacy and space-saving qualities of vacuum sealed storage bags have received excellent reviews from Australian customers, and there are a variety of brands and solutions available.
How dust-proofing your roof area might be beneficial
The area is not only secured from dust and water by closing the room during the dust-proofing procedure, but there is also little to no danger of vermin and insects entering and infesting your storage area. The dust-proofing technique produces an unbreakable barrier that keeps unwanted visitors at bay and prevents your treasures from becoming their new home.
Protect your valuable storage things while increasing the value of your property.
You should definitely consider a dust-proof attic conversion if you have priceless memories, collector’s goods, heirlooms, a wine collection, or anything else that you value enough to retain in long-term storage rather than giving it away or trashing it.
The conversion procedure typically takes only 2-3 days to create a space that not only protects your treasures but also adds value to your property!
