Roofer

A roof protects the building and its contents from the effects of weather. Structures that require roofs range from a letter box to a cathedral orstadium, dwellings being the most numerous.

In most countries a roof protects primarily against rain. Depending upon the nature of the building, the roof may also protect against heat, sunlight, cold and wind. Other types of structure, for example, a garden conservatory, might use roofing that protects against cold, wind and rain but admits light.

The characteristics of a roof are dependent upon the purpose of the building that it covers, the available roofing materials and the local traditions of construction and wider concepts of architectural design and practice and may also be governed by local or national legislation.

The material of a roof may range from banana leaves, wheaten straw or seagrass to lamininated glass,aluminium sheeting and precast concrete. In many parts of the world ceramic tiles have been the predominant roofing material for centuries.

Most domestic architecture, except in very dry regions, has roofs that are sloped, or pitched. The pitch is partly dependent upon stylistic factors, but has more to do with practicalities. Some types of roofing, for example thatch, require a steep pitch in order to be waterproof and durable.

The durability of a roof is a matter of concern because the roof is often the least accessible part of a building for purposes of repair and renewal, while its damage or destruction can have serious effects.

A roof is the covering on the uppermost part of a building.

The field includesceramics, glassware, furniture, furnishings, interior design, but not usually architecture. The decorative arts are often categorized in opposition to the "fine arts", namely, painting, drawing, photography, and large-scale sculpture, which generally have no function other than to be looked at.

Applied art includes the decorative arts but also graphic design and other categories, such as industrial design, which may overlap with decorative art.

In art history the term minor arts is often used for the decorative arts.

Interior design is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment.The work of an interior designer draws upon many disciplines includingenvironmental psychology, architecture, product design, and traditional decoration(aesthetics and cosmetics). They plan the spaces of almost every type of building including: hotels, corporate spaces, schools, hospitals, private residences, shopping malls, restaurants, theaters, and airport terminals.

Loft Conversion

A loft can be an upper story or attic or basement in a building, directly under the roof. Alternatively, it can be a loft apartment which is a large adaptable open space either created or converted for residential use.

A loft conversion is the process of transforming an empty attic space into a functional room, typically used as either living accommodation or storage space. Loft conversions are one of the most popular forms of home improvement in the UK as a result of their numerous perceived benefits.

It is fairly common to convert a loft instead of moving home, with the most common additions being an extra bedroom or study.

A measurement of 2.3 metres is required to allow enough headroom although you may find that you can still get a useful room from as little as 7ft (2.1m) and there must be at least 2 metres clearance above the position of the access stairs. The roof should be checked for any signs that rainwater is entering the roof space. The appearance of dark stains on the roof rafters is a strong indication that this problem exists. Repairs to the roof are usually carried out during the works as part of the loft conversion process due to the construction of dormers and fitting roof windows.

Roof windows are often an attractive option for homeowners due to their ability to fit into the line of the roof.The installation of such windows will provide the loft space with substantial light.

A dormer is a window-featured extension of the roof, usually installed to provide more space and headroom within the loft, in addition to improved staircase access.
