When it comes to extending your home, it’s believed that a loft conversion can add the most value to your property in comparison to the investment.
Not only will you gain extra valuable space, but unlike a conventional ground floor extension, you won’t have to sacrifice any of your garden to do so. Plus, if you still require some loft space, you may still be able to have a ceiling and a small amount of roof storage above.
How you choose to use this new space is of course, totally up to you, but it would certainly make sense to consider locating a new bedroom or master suite, complete with bathroom, in this new found area.

Before any work is started, the space must be structurally sound and this might need the guidance of someone qualified. Also, once converted there should be adequate height clearance. That said, if necessary the pitch of your roof could be possibly changed to give extra clearance.
plan from the start
It might seem logical, but it’s important to make the best use of the space, and avoid any unnecessary extra retrospective costs from the start. In the planning stages, decide where you are likely to cite the bed and storage. It’s highly likely that conventional wardrobes may not fit in a room with eaves, and this is where sliding wardrobe storage comes into its own.
bespoke storage
Whilst many manufacturers only offer standard sizes, certain suppliers will offer a bespoke service, tailor made to your bedroom measurements. Not only can you customise your door finishes to suit your style and tastes, the Tresana Collection allows you to customise the size of your new sliding wardrobes too!
As well as accommodating different pitches of roof, the doors themselves can be made at differing heights and widths, allowing you to maximise the available space.
save space with a pocket door
If an en-suite or bathroom is to be included, why not consider a ‘pocket’ door? Rather than having to allow for the opening of a more conventional door, a pocket door is located within the wall cavity, taking up little space. Plus you can co-ordinate it to match your sliding doors.
Keep the space light and airy is also important. It might be possible to add a window into a side gable, but again this very much depends on the pitch of your roof.
It’s always best to consult a professional before undertaking a major house renovation such as an attic conversion, but rest assured, when it comes to sliding wardrobes, look no further than the Tresana Collection for all your storage needs.
