How to make a room in the attic

  • September 19, 2018

If you think that your home is not enough space, this means that you need to make changes in it. As an additional room, you can use the attic. However, one should not forget that the design of the roof may not allow the layout to make a layout.

It is important that the height of the roof in the light (the distance between the floor and the ceiling at the end of repair work) is at least 2300 mm. Of course, a new room in the attic needs to be heated. If you have central heating, there will be no problems with this.

It is more difficult for those people who have stove heating. In this case, it is necessary to seek help from the inspector for fire safety. Only he has rights to issue such permission. Carefully consider the design of the interior of the room.

Pay special attention to the entrance, in particular, the ladder. It can be assembled from well -processed beams. It is important to equip the staircase with railings. The next step is the installation of windows. They can be placed both in the walls and in the roof.

Window insert

It is worth noting that the process of inserting windows into the roof will be more time -consuming, since it is necessary to make a special wooden frame so that it can hold the weight of the window and snow. After inserting windows, you can start building a frame for a future room.

Later, it will be necessary to place the mount for drywall on it. The floor frame is best made of wood. As soon as you insulate the space between the beams, immediately engage in the flooring of the floor. This will greatly facilitate your work in the future. Now it’s time to decide where you will have lighting devices, switches and sockets.

If you have never done wiring before, seek help from a professional. Before laying drywall, do not forget to insulate the walls. To do this, you can use any thermal insulation material.

If you want to achieve maximum strength of the drywall structure, remember that the sheets must be placed horizontally. Some experts put them in two layers, trying to improve the thermal insulation properties of the walls. At this stage you need to insulate your windows.

To do this, with the help of sealants, make sure that rain and wind do not get into the cracks. All this is overlapped in small stripes of drywall. In principle, the construction of the premises in the attic can be considered completed. It remains only to make the interior decoration.
