  1. Useful Information on Steel for Loft Conversion Steel for loft conversions are great ways to create more space or better utilize a loft’s floor area, optimize layout, and add functionality to otherwise unused spaces. Nowadays, more people are choosing loft conversions over new home purchases, seeing the value in adapting their home to their changing needs and lifestyle instead of trying their hand on the sluggish and unpredictable property market. In addition to creating better space and adding extra functionality to a property, loft conversions are also great ways to boost a property’s value and make it more attractive in the market, should you one day decide to resell. A loft conversion also makes a more ideal option over a home extension or another form of renovation mainly because it requires less disruption, meaning you won’t need to vacate your place while construction is on-going. When planning a loft conversion, material to use should be one of the first things you should think about and decide on. In fact, one of the biggest decisions you stand to make during the earlier stages of your design and planning process is whether to choose steal or timber as beam support. Steel for loft conversions is a more popular choice, especially when it comes to bigger builds, as metal offers more strength and structural integrity for certain types of constructions than timber. Poor support for your loft conversion can lead to disastrous results and may put your investment to waste, if not cause even more costly damages to your property. This is why it is important to choose the right material from the get-go and avoid the potential dangers of a poorly supported conversion. Steel also offers great flexibility when it comes to structural designs, as they can easily be worked and can be formed to reach much longer distances. Another major advantage of using steel for loft conversions is cost. Steel beams are generally more cost-effective than wood, not to mention being a lot more durable. While both timber and steel offer good strength, the latter offers greater longevity as it can keep its stability and structure for longer, even without much upkeep. Timber, on the other hand, can be prone to insect infestation and moisture/conditional issues. https://www.steelandsite.com/ Steel and Site | Brierley Hill, West Midlands, England– DY5 1LJ | 01384265747 | sales@steelandsite.com
