The elements to consider when developing a habitable attic
Ensure the feasibility of the development of the attic
Before embarking on the development of attic, it is essential to ensure that the space is actually convertible. The ceiling height must be sufficient to allow comfortable occupation of the room. If this is not the case, it is possible to transform the attic into a storage space. It is also important to check whether the administrative conditions are met before starting the work.
Take into account the structure of the frame and thermal insulation
The frame must be in good condition to ensure the safety of the converted room. It is crucial to check if it has perforations and if it is strong enough to support the weight of a habitable room. In addition, thermal insulation is essential for the comfort of the room in terms of temperature and noise. It is possible to insulate the attic from the inside or from the outside, according to the preferences and constraints of the project.
Partitioning, lighting and access to the room
The choice of partitioning material must take into account the lightness so as not to overload the frame. Natural lighting can be provided through a roof window, which also offers stunning views of the stars. For easy access to the room, a staircase should be installed according to the layout of the room.
