For
many homeowners, the question of how they’ll add natural light to their loft
conversion is always a big consideration. A bungalow
loft conversion is no exception to this.
Having
said that, if you’re converting your loft within your bungalow, there are some
slightly different ideas for maximising the natural light to your new room
which you may wish to consider. Why not make your bungalow loft conversion a design
statement as well as flooded with beautiful natural light?
Floor to Ceiling Windows
Many
bungalows have been designed with a gable end roof either at the back or front
of the property. When converting the loft space in a bungalow with such a roof,
the gable end can make for a great feature window.
Why
not fill this space with floor to ceiling windows? Not only will this fill your
new room with lots of lovely natural light, but if you’re surrounded by great
views, a picture window such as this will really make the most of having an
additional storey.
Juliette Balconies
If
you don’t have a gable end to create a picture window with, consider adding a
Juliette balcony instead. You may be able to do this by creating a dormer
window space within your new loft room.
The
size of many bungalow loft conversions means that they can often accommodate a
dormer or Juliette balcony without it looking out of place in relation to the
rest of the house.
Landing Skylights
Remember
that it’s not just the main room or rooms within your new loft space that
require natural light; by adding skylights over the new landing as you enter
the loft room, you’ll also flood the entrance area to your conversion with
light, too.
Extension Skylights
Many
homeowners decide to extend their bungalows at the same time as converting
their loft as part of a bigger home renovation project. This type of extension
as part of a bigger loft conversion project will often work well with a new
kitchen-diner or family room underneath to create a beautiful family home.
If
you’ve decided to do this, one idea is to continue the natural pitch of your
bungalow’s roof down beyond the new extended area below. Then add skylights to
the new extension roof to give plenty of natural light to the rooms on the
first floor.
No
matter how you add natural light to your bungalow loft conversion, by employing
a loft conversion specialist for the work you’ll
not only be given the best ideas that will work for your home, but you’ll also
be guaranteed expert and experienced workmanship. Why not light up your
