Loft Conversions with Timber

Plowas, Wojciech

Abstract

Converting a loft into an active living space needs careful consideration due to modification of structural timbers and increased loads. But utilising timber improves performance thanks to its thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

Loft conversions offer an effective means of extending habitable areas in a building. However, it is a complex process requiring multiple considerations for a successful project that complies with Planning and Building Regulations.
