What is an Attic Kneewall?
The attic kneewall is a section of the attic space that is most commonly identified with the formation of the space just below the roof in Cape Cod and bungalow style architecture. Essentially, the positioning of the vertical studs where the slope of the roof meets with the short attic wall in the space creates the attic kneewall. While attic kneewalls are often wasted space, many homeowners choose to turn the space into usable storage areas with the use of shelves and other similar devices.
