I'm looking for some general information about lofts to help me with a project but I can't find much online and I can't even visit friends and family to have a look at theirs so I would be grateful if anyone with experience of lofts you could enlighten me on the questions below:
- Do most houses have a loft? - Where is the loft hatch usually located? (landing or bedrooms?) - Is there usually a lot of space around the loft hatch? (i.e. is it usually located far from walls and doors?) - Are loft hatches usually the same shape and size? - Does the hatch usually open inwards or outwards? - What is the most common method of accessing a loft? (portable ladder or ladder attached to the hatch?) - Is the floor inside the loft usually flat? (or are there different height beams etc?)
Any help answering these questions would be much appreciated!
Hi eowens90 Houses with a pitched roof will have access to a loft area. There is no definitive answer to your other questions - anything goes! Regards S
