If you decide to use the attic for the arrangement of the attic, then you will not be completely superfluous to know some simple rules that are fundamental in such a reconstruction.
When planning the attic, it is better to choose a configuration based on the fact that the room in the form of a triangle will always look more spacious than a room, the configuration of which resembles a trapezoid. Therefore, it is better not to arrange horizontal ceiling floors, but to use the entire space under the roof to the skate.
In order to maximize the use of the attic, the vertical walls can be erected no higher than 1.3 m. Ullo furniture will freely fit along such walls. With this height of the walls, you can not be afraid that getting up from the sofa, you will take the ceiling with your head. Walls playing the role of pediments – an ideal place for placing cabinet furniture.
Mansard windows of the price of which, as a rule, are slightly higher than for ordinary ones, do not have high. The same rules are appropriate here as for the premises of the first floor: the window sill is not higher than 80 – 90 cm from the floor. In this case, there will be an opportunity to see not only the sky, but also enjoy the beautiful view of the surroundings from the height at which the attic is located.
The natural illumination of the attic space is very important. The total area of glazing windows located in the vertical plane should be correlated to the floor area, like 1: 8. If you use the attic (inclined windows), then in this case this ratio will be 1:10.The most optimal option is when the windows are located on all sides. In this case, the room will be ensured natural light throughout the day.
The correct location of the windows is also of great importance for the rational use of solar heat in order to create a more comfortable temperature regime in the autumn – spring period, especially if the attic is not provided for heating. You can protect the attic from excessive warming in the summer through the windows using simple and affordable methods: curtains, blinds, etc. p.
