Loft conversions are a great way to add space and value to your property. It is a project that may faze many, but with the right materials, tools and help, you can have a new room in your home in no time.

Loft Conversions are perfect if you want another bedroom, a living area, a games area or quite space. You can do so much, depending on the size of the area you are working with. Smaller rooms can be used as storage or to install another toilet or shower. Once again, any conversion adds space and value to your property.

There are many items and materials you may need to get this job done. Here at buildingmaterials.co.uk we can provide it all, whether you need same day delivery or it shipped out to your construction site.

Some of the basic materials you will need to convert your loft include:

• Plasterboards provide a smooth finish and will level out any coves, holes or jagged edges that your roof may produce and helps you create smooth walls and ceilings.   
• Insulation Boards help keep the room warm, as well as the rest of your house.  Usually when you convert your loft, you may have to take away your traditional insulation to make room.  Insulation boards offer the results, performance, and are less bulky than traditional loft insulation.
• Polystyrene Sheets are also another good way to insulate your loft. They are light, easy to work with and incredibly cost effective. They do not degrade over time.
• Loft Insulation Roll is useful for under the flooring or behind the walls of the loft. This roll of fibre provides better acoustics, especially if you are turning your loft into a music room or recording studio.  As well as limiting echoes and noise, Insulation roll works well reducing emissions and keeping your home warm.
• Plywood sheets help transform you loft into a room, they can be used as flooring if you are going to lay a carpet down. They can also be used to shape the room if you want alcoves and cupboards.  We have different plywood’s for different needs, a good one to use in the roof is a water and boil proof plywood, as it can withstand moisture and heat to a certain degree. 
• Foil insulation is usually 3-5 times thinner than normal loft insulation but does the same job that other thick insulation would do, offering you more space.
• Lintels are probably are the most important thing when converting a loft. If you are creating new areas, Lintels support above features such as windows and doors.
• Polythene Sheets act as a moisture proof membrane, which seals walls, ceilings and prevents damp penetrating through to the room. 
• Concrete Blocks are key if you need to create an inner wall. These blocks not only offer insulation but acoustic properties also.
