Creating a partition will not extend the actual area available of your floor within your house but by dividing the floor area more correctly it can provide some extra space in your rooms or a extra room with in the floor which will make your house more spacious and functional without any extra space.
We mentioned some points to be considered before creating the partition:
- Lighting – natural sun light may not be necessary though it is often attractive. If an presented window fitted on the wall is not going to be integrated in the partitioned off area, then you could add a new window outside wall. Otherwise glazing could be integrated in to the partition to use sun light from the adjoining room, this can easily be integrated beside the top of the partition.
- Ventilation – even though a window present on the wall is the most common way of ventilation, it is some where possible to fit an extractor fan to ventilate the new area of the floor or the room if there is no or insufficient area to open the window.
- Access to the room – normally a new door way will need to be built on the floor or the room into the new created partition, a variety of options are achievable – a standard internal hinged door, 2 half doors, 1 sliding door or 1 curtain. Restrictions of space on the floor or the room may be over come by partitioning the careful planning. Always keep in mind that your furniture may ever need to pass from the new door way.
- Electrics – when a room or a floor is divided by creating partition, it is very essential to change the floor lights. The presented light may need to be relocated and a new electric switch and the light may need to be fitted in the area of the floor which is resulted by the partition. The electric switches will typically be fitted by the side the door, so the cabling and electric switches will need to be integrated into the new created partition.
Some Plumbing work may also be essential while creating the partition.
