Project Overview
In a historic cider mill, located in a picturesque village, the owners sought to convert an uneven and deteriorated loft space into a functional and habitable area. The aim was not just to level the floor but also to raise it for enhanced insulation and storage. The challenge was to maintain the building's historical integrity while meeting modern building standards and planning authority requirements.
Challenges
Solution: SubFloor System
The SubFloor system was chosen for its innovative design and ability to address the unique challenges posed by the project. The components used in the system included Wooden Joist 45 x 45 x 3600 mm, SubFloor Screws 300 mm, and Screw Feet. The joists were installed at 600 mm centers, and the height adjustments were meticulously handled using the Screw Foot system to achieve a perfectly level surface.
