Do you want to make additional room in your Great Dunmow house? A loft conversion may add an extra dimension to your home, and provide you with a much-needed second bedroom or family area while also dramatically increasing the value of your property. There are, however, numerous factors to make when designing your loft conversion, some of which may have a significant effect on the expense of your project.
When you decide to add a second floor to a two-story house, fire safety becomes a major aspect of your planning. Depending on the elevation of your home, you may be unable to securely use an escape window. In this example, your structure must have a certified escape route. A smoke alarm should also be fitted on your floor. Speak with a professional to confirm that your ideas are legal.
Many homeowners are astonished to learn how little standing room they would have in their loft once it has been transformed. To construct a big space that meets your demands, you may need to lift the roof, which may be expensive and would require planning clearance. Many terraced and semi-detached residences have restrictions prohibiting homeowners from elevating their roofs in order to avoid disturbing their neighbors.
Many loft conversions involve planning approval if they modify the shape or height of your house; however, a recent change in planning legislation means that you can still convert your home in specifically authorized conditions. Obtaining building regulation approval is critical for your project, and the rule is not a 'one size fits all' approach, so seek professional help or advice from your local authorities - and keep in mind that if your property is terraced or semi-detached, you may be required to notify your neighbors.
Consider introducing as much light as possible to your loft conversion. Why not go all out and make one of your walls practically totally glass for a high-end finish? This will guarantee that your loft conversion becomes a focal point of your house and a space worth visiting.
If not enough windows are installed to loft areas after conversion, they may remain gloomy and dirty. You don't even need to add windows; simply utilizing translucent materials for the walls instead of bricks and mortar would instantly brighten your loft. Translucent construction materials not only make rooms and houses lighter, but they also make a statement in terms of design.
Consider what you intend to use your loft conversion for and how much light is necessary to make that idea a reality during the planning stage. If the loft conversion will be used as a living area, light is necessary; if it will be used as an additional bedroom, light is less critical.
Of course, with so much demand for office space in the house, loft conversions are a terrific option. This is particularly true if your loft isn't the largest. You may design a modest office area for yourself that seems like your own personal getaway.
White or bright walls and as much natural light as possible are the greatest ways to assist create the appearance of space in small places. It's also crucial to consider the practicalities since the area must fit your desk, storage, printing, and internet and phone signal boosters.
One of the benefits of setting up your home office in the rafters is the solitude and quiet it provides. You don't have to be distracted by what's going on outside your window or if there are any vehicles parked outside. The loft office area allows you to adjust your focus for optimal work - with a few procrastination excursions below thrown in for good measure!
