An unfinished attic is called unfinished attic, raw attic, storage attic, unconditioned attic, or open attic, with specific terms including scuttle attic, crawl attic, or just attic storage, indicating space that has not been converted to living space and has exposed joists, insulation, and roof rafters. Unfinished attic is typically used only for storage and housing mechanical systems, not for living, with no drywall, flooring, or finished ceiling, similar to raw storage space. In construction terms, unfinished attic may be called vented attic if it has ventilation, or unconditioned attic meaning not heated or cooled, with temperature extremes. If small and accessed by hatch, it is called scuttle attic or hatch attic. If low height requiring crawling, called crawl attic.
