The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Most houses are built in such a way that they have unused space under the roof, where useless clutter accumulates. By converting such space into living space, we gain a tremendous amount of space that can satisfy all living purposes, whilst simultaneously improving the energy balance of the house. The emphasis was placed on thermal insulation and airtightness of the roof structure, as this is the most important phase in the actual implementation.
Problem
Most houses are built in such a way that they have unused space under the roof, where useless clutter accumulates. By converting such space into living space, we gain a tremendous amount of space that can satisfy all living purposes, whilst simultaneously improving the energy balance of the house. The purpose of the diploma thesis was to present the conversion of an attic using modern materials, which, with quality implementation by professionals, contribute to the execution of very high-quality living areas.
Solution and Method
The emphasis was placed on thermal insulation and airtightness of the roof structure, as this is the most important phase in the actual implementation. The diploma thesis also describes all other phases of work, from types of substructures, load-bearing elements, selection of plasterboard to taping of joints using different types of taping strips. In the second part of the diploma thesis, the construction of a mansard is shown through a practical example.
