Interior Design
Once your have decided on the type of loft conversion your require it is important to think about the interior design. Bathrooms and en-suites can be developed in either a dormer or roofline loft conversions. Due to the difficulties often associated with adding plumbing to the top floor of the house, Saniflow systems are an easier alternative and prevent you from having to change your whole plumbing system. A toilet, sink and shower or bath can all be linked up to one Saniflow system and it is often more cost effective than main stream plumbing. Your loft conversion consultant should inform you of the best system for your house, and will often use a trained Saniflow consultant or a plumber to install the system.
The positioning of electrical cables and radiators is key to the functionality of your room. The number of electrical points will depend on the size of your room, but it is important to position them in key areas of the room, such as next the the phone and T.V. points. Radiators need to be on walls which are unlikely to be used and the size of the radiator must be in proportion with the size of the room. Your loft conversion tradesman is likely to advise you on all of these points, but it is also important to consider them your self, as changes in the future are going to cost more money.
Also consider using fitted wardrobes in your loft conversion to save space. Fitted wardrobes can be designed to any size and shape which can be ideal in a loft conversion, due to the sloping roof. A carpenter or joiner will be able to fit these for you.
