Building a house is a capital and highly costly task. Sometimes you may encounter the fact that the costs incurred to build a house of the same size may vary several times. Minimizing unnecessary costs is possible only thanks to invested knowledge and own efforts. Let's talk in this article about the advisability of having an attic in the house.
The attic is an additional floor in the attic area, the facades of which consist of inclined roof walls.
Advantages and disadvantages
Consider the inherent qualities of the attic in comparison with the full second floor of the house.
Advantages:
- The attic does not require the construction of additional walls. Their role is played by the roof surface. The consequence is significant savings on the foundation.
- Original walls create a unique interior design.
- A design feature is the presence of only a heater, a rafter system and a roof.
Among the shortcomings can be identified:
- In the secondary market, a house with an attic is overpriced.
- During construction, the cost of windows for the attic will be significantly higher than for an ordinary floor. In addition, they can not be decorated with curtains and other decor.
- Inclined ceilings significantly underestimate the area of usable space. A full second floor allows more efficient use of the entire area.
- It is difficult to choose furniture that fits into the inclined walls. The flat sides of the high-grade floor will allow you to put any headset you like.
- The attic floor requires additional ventilation, and often increased noise and thermal insulation. In the case of a full floor, ventilation is carried out thanks to the attic, and the roof does not require additional insulation.
- The exterior of the house with a full floor has a more solid appearance.
In conclusion, I would like to say that a private house with an attic will look original. Spending time in a room under a roof is an indescribable feeling. It can be assumed that such a decision would be good if the house has an impressive area, and the attic room will be a relaxation area. For a traditional room, inclined walls can cause difficulties in the selection of furniture, as well as reduce the room space.
