A loft conversion is an excellent way to maximise the living space within your home. It adds an extra bedroom, bathroom or even a living room to your property and provides a cost-efficient solution to buying a new house with the added bonus of a higher return on investment if you decide to sell.
What happens during a loft conversion?
Creating a Ace Loft Conversions can also be a great way to use natural light, especially if you opt for VELUX roof windows, which provide both fresh air and a great source of daylight without the need for artificial lighting or heating. This helps reduce energy bills and creates a bright and airy feel to the room.
A loft extension can also be a great place to get creative, away from the distractions of everyday life. It’s the perfect setting to paint, write or fall back in love with that musical instrument you never quite got round to learning.
It’s important to note that, although a loft conversion doesn’t require planning permission (unless it alters the structure of the existing roof) it will be subject to building regulations approval. This is to ensure the new space will be safe, meet fire safety and stair regulations and have proper structural support.
To ensure that the loft extension you’re considering meets these requirements, it’s worth running your plans and designs past an architect or design specialist with a 3D model to help visualise what you’ll end up with. This will help prevent any surprises when the work is underway and ensure that your new space is exactly as you want it to be.
