Sustainable loft conversion?
“”We are currently looking into converting our loft into a living space and want to do it as environmentally as possible, both in terms of long term effect as well as building materials.” – a question from Birgit
We are hoping to use sustainable materials, such as hemp or wool as the insulating material. Connected to this we have two questions and wonder if anyone can help:
- Does any of you know of a good place for sourcing these materials? They still seem really expensive from our builder’s first research. We are wondering if any of you already got stuff like this and can help.
- Does any of you know of any grants that are available for using sustainable building material, that are less toxic and can be re-used rather than burdening the landfill if they ever had to be un-done?
Any help, either direct advice or websites to search etc very much appreciated!
