Loft Conversion Specialists - With a little thought it’s easy to create that something special

With a little thought, it’s easy to create that something special within the dimensions of the original house layout.

A good quality loft conversion is an invaluable addition to any home. It is essential to get the basics right from the start and with good planning of the key features such as staircases and windows it can give this type of conversion that extra dimension in terms of style and design.

Every loft has its particular differences and our aim at Project4 is to use that footprint in creating a room for future generations to enjoy. The majority of lofts are convertible regardless and our full planning and building regulations package is designed to give you peace of mind.

Keep Your House Warm During the Cold Weather with these 5 tips

With the cold weather set to continue across the UK, it's important to know how to keep your house warm when the temperatures drop.

Here are five simple ways to keep your Home, mansion or apartment warm in wintertime without racking up extra bills.

Watch out for drafts

Even the smallest draft can cause the temperature inside the house to decline drastically when the weather is cold. Common homes for drafts to enter your mansion are underneath doorways, around windows (including between window panes and the frame ), according to British Gas. A simple towel or blanket laid at the paw of a doorway can avoid a draft coming through and keep the house warm. And tape along the leading edge of window panes can prevent those pesky drafts entering seemingly through the glass.

We recommend a composite door which will stop any drafts and hold in heat. Find out more and build your own door here

Move furniture away from radiators

It might seem like the most logical behaviour to arrange your living room, but a couch right in front of a radiator is a really inefficient style of retaining heat. Continuing radiators free of blockages is the best way to ensure the heat dissipates as far as possible and keeps the house warm, according to This Old House. If the radiator is below a window, move curtains out of the way.

Close your curtains

While sunlight is a helpful( and free) behaviour to keep your house warm during the day, as soon as the sunshine goes down it's a good idea to close your draperies to stop heat from getting lost, according to This Old House. If your curtains are thin, a blanket hoisted over a drapery railing can improve insulation if you don't mind your mansion looking silly for a while.

Close doorways to chambers you're not using

Heating oil company Petro recommends closing doors to create a "pocket of heat" in one room or to reduce the amount of space in your dwelling to heat, allowing warmer air to stay in the chambers you are using. Is there one room in your home that's always colder than the remainder, no matter what? If you do not use that room, make sure you close it off so it doesn't assimilate valuable hot from the rest of the house. If you do that, make sure to turn off any radiators in there to make sure you don't trash energy.

Put a carpet down

Tiled floors and uninsulated floorboards can make a room frost, but they can also immediately stimulate you cold when you walk on them. To solve that problem, lay a carpeting over the offending area, Resin Roofs recommends. It can act as a heat trap and who knows -- it could be a style feature that outlives the winter.

Resin Roofs GRP Roof Dormer – no dormancy in quality provision here!

Resin Roofs, the Yorkshire based suppliers of architectural plastic mouldings, have introduced GRP roof dormers in their endeavour to provide quality roof-based structures to you. Moving away from traditional materials used for manufacturing roof dormers, Resin Roofs through their research and product development exercise and the penchant for innovation, have brought probably the best suited and highest quality dormer building material in vogue.

For the uninitiated, GRP refers to Glass Reinforced Plastic or fibreglass, to put it simply. The material is proved to be more durable and it requires minimal maintenance. GRP is a great corrosion barrier and a structural laminate as it is weather and temperature resistant.     

The GRP roof dormer supplied by them is manufactured in compliance to BS 476 under 2 categories – the general purpose class 3 rating; and the fire retardant class 0 category.

Resin Roofs’ GRP roof dormer comes with a variety of innovative features and benefits.

The greatest benefit is its time saving quality. On site manufactured dormers take a lot of time to manufacture and assemble. GRP roof dormers, being prefabricated, are time efficient and easy to assemble and install. Apart from this, the GRP roof dormer comes with the following features

• The surface textures could be manufactured in a wide range of options.

• There is no restriction with regards to the colour of the GRP roof dormer.

• The GRP roof dormer is essentially a custom dormer as it is prefabricated and you could customise the dormer to fit your specifications and requirements.  

• The foam insulation, apart from providing self insulation, also helps you to fix the internal lining.

• The dormer windows are easy to fix to the roof trusses.

• A GRP fixing gutter, which is self draining in nature, solves drainage issues.

Also, a prefabricated dormer cost isn’t as high as you’d expect.

Resin Roofs give an instant GRP dormer quote to potential customers for their custom dormer.
