My parents have been living in a house with an attic for more than 10 years. Based on their experience, I will no longer build such a house for myself.
- 1. Firstly, most of the free space goes under the stairs. It was possible to use these square meters with benefit, I think it would have turned out to be a nice room.
- 2. The steps are made of wood and varnished. I would not recommend walking up a staircase in woolen socks. The risk of slipping and falling head over heels is enormous.
- 3. Also, it is not possible to adjust the temperature regime. To heat the lower floor, you have to add the temperature on the boiler. The result is almost a sauna on the second floor, the windows are constantly open. And this is drafts and one step to a cold.
- 4. Soundproofing is generally a separate conversation. When the TV is working downstairs or someone is talking, all this is perfectly audible upstairs. The sound travels up the flight of stairs without bumping into obstacles.
- 5. Recently, probably due to age, the stairs began to emit an unpleasant creak. You go down early in the morning, trying not to disturb anyone, and the steps emit a treacherous creak that can wake up the household.
I note that over the years it becomes more and more difficult for parents to climb the stairs, age makes itself felt. If you have already gone upstairs and remembered that you forgot something on the first floor, it becomes difficult to return and pick up this thing.
- 6. A couple of months ago, we faced the problem of roof repair. Roofers "break" a high price tag for their work, since the total height of the house exceeds 9 meters.
And it seems that all this is not such a serious problem. But if you put them together, there is no desire to build a two-story house with a staircase.
