Is Your Attic Convertible? Three Things We Check First
Before discussing finishes, we need to know if your attic can legally and structurally become living space. Most Ottawa homeowners are surprised by how much rides on these three questions.
Ceiling height. At least 7 feet of clear headroom is recommended for at least a portion of finished living area. Many Ottawa homes, particularly bungalows don't reach these heights. If your attic doesn't meet the threshold, a dormer addition or a second storey addition becomes part of the conversation. That adds scope and cost, but it also adds significant value.
Floor structure. Attic floor joists are typically sized for storage loads — boxes, insulation, the occasional person. Finished living space carries a higher load. Joists have to accommodate furniture, people, and finishings. We assess the existing joists and determine whether reinforcement is required.
Staircase access. One of the joys, and challenges of attic conversions is making room for access. Often we upgrade a simple attic ladder to pull-down stairs or even a dedicated staircase.
