Roof lantern - does it work?

3 years ago

Hi,
as you can see by looking at the plans we have a roof lantern near the sliders. now that we have an idea of size of the open plan we are unsure whether the whole space to the right will just be a lounge with a tv unit or a split between the two as per the visual. my understanding of having a roof lantern is to have something specific directly underneath. would it look odd if we removed the two arm chairs and had a U shape couch in the middle with a roof lantern or to be safe would you exclude?

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

Why do we use SheepWool as Insulation for an attic?
Q
Comments (0)
We all know the importance of heating our home, especially when that cold, cold grip comes in those long winter months. Sheep don’t seem to worry about this, - if you think about it they are out in the most severe cold winds and rain and sometimes up high on mountain areas where it is even more harsh than we normally experience during those cold months. So how come Sheep dont’ mind? – because they have ... wool.... natural sheep wool is an insulator in itself so it’s no wonder that we now have decided to copy those sheep and use this beautiful natural wool as an insulator for our homes. It is the most natural thing in the world and we know that it works! Insulation in the attic is especially key, - because without that you lose over a quarter of the heat that you spend money on generating in the home – right out through the roof – heat rises as they say, and so do the heating bills. You might think you have enough insulation up there, - but when you actually go and look you possibly will find, that what you thought you had – is almost gone. That is why using SheepWool Insulation is so good, because once you lay it down it won’t go away, it will continue to keep your home warm for years and years as it does for those little sheep on the top of the mountain. SheepWool Insulation ‘Comfort’ rolls are ideal for attic insulation. They can be rolled out handled with bare hands – no need for masks or gloves – just 100% pure wool. The beauty of this product is that you can do it yourself – safe and easy to handle. The rolls can be laid down over existing insulation and ideally the attic insulation should have a layer of insulation between the joists and another across the in the opposite direction this ensures that you cover the joists so no heat comes up through them and it also ensures that you keep all that heat down in the living space and that you don’t allow heat to escape into the attic thus keeping your home snug as a bug. These 100% pure sheepwool insulation rolls come pre-treated with a moth repellent, and as the insulation is 100% pure you are sure that it is totally natural and totally breathable. It also absorbs moisture, and provides a clean air environment by continuously purifying the air, thus keeping your home and your family healthy at the same time as keeping you cosy.... and ...the sheep don’t mind!

Wendy shed roofing and edges
Q
Comments (0)
Hello I have recently replaced the roof on my Wendy shed and am looking for someone who may be able to do the edges and frills for it as the previous parts are rotted and had to be discarded. Can anyone recommend someone who does this type of work? Or know of a place in Ireland where you could buy the parts? Here is a sample of the edges: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wooden-Kids-Playhouse-Outdoor-Wendy-House-Childrens-Garden-Shed-Large-Tree-Den-/262928084682 Cheers
