Homes across the UK are missing out on the storage and functionality of properly boarding their loft, including one major property type often overlooked – bungalows. Typically, when looking at a bungalow from the outside, the first thought is the impracticality of only having one floor and the lack of storage.
One of the last thoughts when looking at these property types is, do bungalows have lofts? In this article, we are going to discuss the amazing possibilities when it comes to loft boarding your bungalow and why this is an ideal solution to solving the storage and spatial needs often associated with these types of homes.
The loft capabilities of bungalows
So, to answer the question, do lofts have bungalows? The short answer is yes, they do have loft space available. However, like most properties, without proper boarding, these spaces are often unusable, particularly if you’re planning on storing heavy boxes and multiple items.
If you install a trustworthy and reliable loft flooring solution, the storage capabilities available to you are almost endless, allowing you to create an organisational plan and clear your home from clutter.
Large loft footprints
The loft space in a bungalow often spans the entire footprint of the property, meaning you are likely to have a bigger space available compared to other multi-floor homes. Additionally, due to the single-floored nature of these properties, the way in which their roofs are built provides large and open loft spaces, giving you plenty of headspace and storage space when utilising this space.
Implementing a raised loft flooring system, like StoreFloor, can transform your space, and the extra headroom that often comes with bungalows allows you to protect your insulation by raising the floor level so your boards sit above it, which also helps improve energy efficiency.

The benefits of loft boarding Your bungalow
If you currently live in or are looking at purchasing a bungalow, multiple benefits become apparent when boarding a loft, with many of these advantages being exclusive to bungalows in particular compared to other types of loft properties.
Organising your belongings
One of the major benefits of boarding any home is the organisational clarity you can gain, with the addition of extra storage space giving you an opportunity to implement a clear system to store your belongings.
Adding more storage space into your home in the shape of loft storage and putting an organisational system in place allows you to know where all your items are stored, making finding them much easier moving forward.
Clear your Home of clutter
Due to the smaller nature of most bungalows, this often means that storage solutions and overall space are at a premium, making boarding your property an obvious choice to maximise your home’s storage opportunities and clear your home of clutter.
You aren’t alone with your clutter needs, with homes across the country often running out of storage space, leading to clutter spilling over into the rest of the space, whether it’s the spare bedroom, hallway spaces or dining room. Installing a loft flooring system can remove clutter from these areas, freeing up space in your home and, as mentioned above, providing a better organisational system for your life.
More headroom
Another benefit of boarding a bungalow loft is the extra headroom these properties have. As mentioned, the building style of these properties means they often have more spacious roofs with cavernous spaces, making them ideal for boarding.
At LoftZone, we provide two raised loft flooring solutions, the StoreFloor and the StoreFloor Compact. Our original solution, the StoreFloor is perfect for boarding bungalow lofts due to the extra headroom available, raising the floor above your loft’s insulation, protecting it and improving your home’s energy efficiency and thermal insulation.
