Garage Conversions
Expert Garage Conversions by LC Joinery Scotland
Garage conversions are becoming increasingly popular, especially in modern-built timber-kit houses. Converting your garage is a fantastic way to gain additional living space without the stress and expense of an extension.
Benefits of Garage Conversions
Converting your garage offers a quick and cost-effective solution to add much-needed space to your home. Whether you need an extra bedroom or a dining room, LC Joinery Scotland can transform your unused garage into a functional and beautiful part of your living space.
Insulation and Comfort
Most garages in Scotland are single-skinned, meaning they consist of just one wall. To make your garage a comfortable living space, proper insulation is essential. Building regulations in Scotland demand lower U-value levels of insulation, ensuring minimal heat loss and a cosy environment. Depending on your garage's size and location, we can apply insulation to either the inside or outside walls, ensuring your new room is warm and energy-efficient.
Floor and Roof Insulation
For attached garages, the floor level relative to your house will determine the procedure for floor insulation. Often, garage floors are lower, allowing us to install insulation and a damp course to provide level access. We also insulate the roof, whether flat or pitched, to complete the transformation.
Windows and Doors
We offer a full range of windows and doors to complete the look of your new garage conversion. Specializing in double glazing, UPVC, timber, and aluminium windows, we ensure your new space is well-lit, secure, and aesthetically pleasing. All our windows are finished with hardwood timber as standard.
Planning Permission and Project Management
You usually do not need Planning Permission to convert a garage into living space, but a Building Warrant from the council is required before work starts. LC Joinery Scotland handles all the necessary paperwork and liaises with the Building Standards department, ensuring a smooth process.
As a full-service, all-trades building company, we provide everything needed to complete your garage conversion. From architectural drawings to project management, we take care of every detail. If you already have an architect, we will coordinate between them, you, and the relevant authorities.
