Ultimately though, this is an incredibly rewarding endeavor that could well add significant value to the resale price of your home. So, if you're interested in learning how it's possible to achieve this, read on. Fitting Flooring STEP Presuming you've already got strong wooden floor beams in place, all you really need to do is fill the gaps with some insulating material and then lay proper floorboards on top. Fitting Insulation The quickest and simplest way to insulate your loft is to use specialist insulation boards. These are much STEP easier to handle than the traditional products and so you should have no trouble sliding them in between the beams. Just make sure they come right up to the lip, as you don't want any space between the insulation boards and your plasterboards. Fitting Plasterboards Now your insulation boards are in place, it's time to measure the gaps between your loft beams and cut your plasterboard to the right size. We'd advise you to use an electric saw or a sharp craft knife for this, and to make sure you wear a protective mask and goggles. Once the boards are cut to size, you need to tack them in place using suitably sized screws. STEP Plastering STEP You'll need to ensure a thin layer of plaster coats all the boards you've fixed in place, paying special attention to the joins and weak spots you may have noticed. 4 Well, you should now have a basic idea about what converting your own loft will involve.
