You're probably wondering if your Hungerford loft is suitable for conversion. Loft conversions are a fantastic way to add value to your home and make it more convenient and comfortable. Whether you're looking to take advantage of unused space or simply want a new bedroom, loft conversions can be done in a variety of ways so that they suit every homeowner's needs.
Hip-to-gable conversions involve removing the existing roof structure and replacing it with a new roof that has gables at each end. The new roof is usually pitched inwards to create a sloped ceiling. The remaining area is then converted into a usable room.
Mansard conversions involve installing a mansard roof over an existing flat roof, creating two floors from one attic space. This type of conversion is more expensive than other forms of loft conversion but offers more living space.
L-shaped conversions involve adding an extra story on top of an existing building, creating an L shape within which there may be two or more rooms that open out onto terraces or balconies at each end of the house (depending on how many stories are added).
- You want to consider how much natural light is available in your space—if there isn't much sunlight coming through windows or skylights, then you'll need more artificial lighting than someone whose home is always bathed in natural light. - You also have to think about where exactly you'll be using this light; some people prefer overhead lighting while others prefer lamps on tables or desks rather than overhead fixtures.
When you're planning a Hungerford loft conversion, the placement of your windows is crucial. If As a general rule, you want to place your windows on the south and west sides of your Hungerford home. These are the sunniest spots in most homes, which means they'll get you the most natural light. Your windows should also be close enough together to allow for natural cross-ventilation—this helps keep drafts at bay as well as provides ventilation for hot summer days when you don't want to run your air conditioning!
