An attic bedroom can create additional space in a home and can increase the value of a home.
Pros and cons with making attic space all one piece.
Unfortunately an attic can also be cold small and may reduce ventilation for the house.
Poorly insulated ducting can cause heat loss in colder months and the loss of conditioned air in the summer in vented attics.
Unventilated attics are common where roof assemblies are complex and it s difficult to create a sealed ceiling plane.
A stair designed with an intermediate landing and two runs needs about 8 feet on the lower level.
However it can also cause problems.
A straight run stair will chew up 10 to 14 feet of floor space.
Attics are a top pick when homeowners decide to gain some extra storage or add a guest room but not all attic flooring structures are up to the task of supporting the weight of a new living space.
Figure out how you re going to get up and down from the finished attic space.
If one has a large budget with which to finish an attic turning this space into an attic bedroom is almost always a great idea.
