January 6, 2020 Greg Nelson

CLC have been carrying out many extensions and loft conversions though 2019, to much to put on the site so we will just focus on Wind-rush Rd where we were commissioned to carry out a loft conversions for a lovely couple. The conversion consisted of steel beams sitting on the outer walls to take the new joisted floor, ashlar walls and rest of the conversion.

Above we can see the joisting installed with ashlar walls with the insulation being placed within the floor we also had to install new 140mm rafters to take away the existing fink trusses.

Here we can see the celotex installed with lighting ring installed we can slo see the flue for the boiler which needs to be boxed in we can also see the velux installed.

Here we can see the installation of the stiar case which was particularly tight this is an open tread staircase we can also see the ashlar walls with structural ply installed.

As we are Loft conversion specialists Ipswich we like to post information about what we do to engage with our customers and clients about the process and regulations that can help clients decide what type of loft conversion they need and how to achieve it.

We tend to tell customers that now that we have engineered timber joists these can often do away with steel beams wich are heavy and expensive to install often needing road closures and cranes to lift them into position this in my opinion is the “old way” and engineered joists like the I joist system have many benefits over steels.

Look here if you wish to have more information on www.jji-joists.co.uk

These types of joist can span up to eight meters which is more than adequate for most loft conversion although they do cost they simplify making rooms in your existing roof, another way to save on space is to use space blanket a thermal quilt which provide the equivalent of 400mm if insulation this mean that your u values will be excellent and you will save space and energy.

We recommend using the latest building techniques because they save time and money for our clients and they are easier to install so the project is completed quicker.

Thanks for reading.
