Loft design advice please

[Guest SPORTKA]

Hello all, I am getting close to ordering my new loft now but am unsure which style is going to suit me (and the birds) best.

I have noticed that what I traditionally think of as a loft (lots of nice dowels in the front) seems to be a bit out of date,  I am reading a lot of articles on how important it is to have the right amount of ventilation is this the reason for so many lofts been made with window panels in the front? idealy I would like a more traditional looking loft with the right ventilation but dont quite know how this would be achieved ! your coments a pics of any designs would be most welcome, by the way I am looking at a loft around 20x8 ft. thanx in advance for your help.

parkhall lofts do a design which incorporates mechanical louvres in place of dowelled or polycarb glazed front ,which allows max air flow in ,but rain etc out,

i am ordering such a 1, from them ,along with wood louvres on front at floor level ,

recommended that air flow comes in at floor level & forces stale air out thro roof level ( usually via rear or by roof vents )

What ever type of loft you decide to purchase etc, you will find in most cases, that

adjustments will have to be made at times, for many diiferent reasons. Re weather, birds, position, direction & humidity etc. Spend a bit of time getting the humidity correct 50-60% in your loft, & you will be well on the way to being successful in this sport, in my view.

Enjoy.
