Is it possible To Have Two Floorss In Loft?

[DeludedAussie]

Our loft is very large and also very high

Its height is a maximum of 4.8 metres. Is it possible and should I think about making this two floors? If I could get an extra bedroom in the top of the loft that would help a lot!!

Loftys of one story can look hideous and you are proposing two!

You must be deluded.

Youw little lyerrr - I don't think your a disillusioned Aussie at all, but a womble

Underground, overground, wombling free / The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we

It's certain possible, and worthwhile as you have 4.8m to play with.

I've done a few of these for some loft conversions in the shires, so let me know if you need advice

From the image i'm getting the rafter length about 6200mm long with say a 40 degree pitch gives you a vertical rise of a shade under 4m from the point of eaves i.e. the top of the fascia.

This translates to about 3.7m from the plate or about 3.5m from the top of what would be your a floor joist. This then equates to 2.4m useable space once you square the ceiling off.

What size loft did you have to play with? The alternative is that I put the expansion tank over the bedrooms but since I am moving to a sealed heating system I dont believe that is neccessary
