Conversion of attic is a process by which an empty attic space can be transformed into a functional area or room, which can be used as a bathroom, bedroom, play room, kid's room, storage room, gym room, etc. Owing to their numerous benefits, it is a very popular form of home improvement.
If you have been using a pull-down stairs to climb up and down the attic, then you will have to change that and add a staircase which is permanent. While adding a staircase, one has to consider about what lies below, how much space the staircase would be taking up, whether they will interrupt the flow of the other rooms, etc.
You will also need to install plumbing if you intend using your attic conversion as a bedroom with ensuite. Depending on the available space on the upstairs landing you can have a stairs fitted which can make your attic conversion more a part of the house. If not it is very simple to have an attic ladder fitted which folds away very neatly. This is not a costly operation but it is necessary so that you have easy access to your newly fitted conversion.
