Double-Up Wooden Lofts



Loft and Roof Room Builders
Double Up is a company that gives home owners the opportunity to expand above an existing structure in a more affordable, clean and cost effective way. By adding a roofroom, attic room, loftroom, or timberframe extention.

Double Up uses eco friendly, sustainable materials, and first world building methods to build loft rooms. Construction causes no damage to the environment and is of little inconvenience to the homeowner as there is no need to seek alternative accommodation whilst construction is underway. On average the Double Up timber frame building method is 50% more time and energy efficient than conventional brick and mortar, and far cleaner, as there is no need for big heavy machinery or vehicles. There is also no need to reinforce supporting walls or underpin foundations.

Another benefit of the Double Up building method is the speed at which a structure is erected. An average 80sqm loft room takes 6 weeks to complete. There is no need for the homeowner to move out as building of the roofroom, attic room, loftroom, or timberframe extention continues. The Double Up system is the fastest way to grow your home

Wooden Lofts - Dream above the rest


We are a small family owned Bay Area company specializing in custom built Loft Bed & Outdoor Furniture Kits.

Our Lofts are built with your safety in mind, so we build them to be incredibly sturdy. Our lofts are built using only the best materials available.

Each of our Kits comes complete with all the materials needed to assemble, requiring you to provide only the tools and some muscle to assemble them. Feel free to explore our site, and discover what we can do for you.

Please contact us with any questions.

Why Buy A Loft Bed?

Loft Beds open up small bedrooms, allowing you to make use of the space under the bed which is normally wasted.

Our Twin loft beds open up an additional 26 square feet of space, our Full Loft gives you an additional 33 square feet, and our Queen Lofts open up an additional 38 square feet of living space!

If 2 college students were to utilize two twin lofts in their small dorm room, the extra space created by the loft beds would be the equivalent of adding a 7' x 7' room to their dorm!!

To help you gain the maximum space possible, we customize each loft at no additional charge to fit your mattress thickness and headroom requirements.

Wooden Lofts - Gauteng


1. WHY GO LOFT?
“Quite simply, the LOFT seems to be the perfect living space for modern life. It is (often) based in the city centre, uses recycled space (so we can be stylish and green) and, most important of all, offers what little other residential property can: serious amounts of unadulterated space and light.”


2. IT OFFERS A SOLUTION
We have a surplus of commercial property and a desperate need for residential. Not only in city centres, but also prime areas such as Rosebank, Parktown and Rivonia (Jhb).
The Let's LOFT campaign is all about utilising what we have and creating investment potential.
LOFTS are ideal for dual-purpose living - a space that is equally suitable for work and relaxation.
A lifestyle investment.

3. WE LOVE THE IMAGE :
While it’s bohemian origins (French artists who converted disused factories in Paris in the 1800’s) gave it street cred, it’s portrayal in films such as Wall Street with Charlie Sheen in 1987 and Ghost with Demi Moore in 1990, gave it glamour.

Maximizing Small Spaces



Small spaces like lofts and condos can make you feel like Gulliver in Lilliput. And with the population increase, coupled with the decrease in land, living spaces are getting smaller. You can still create the illusion of spaciousness and airiness you want, with some of these tips:

Minimize your clutter. If you don’t use it or need it, sell it, throw it or give it away to charity. You can’t afford to have a lot of things lying around, especially in condos where you have limited storage space.
Don’t buy bulky furniture. Naturally, the less space you have, the smaller your furnishings should be. If you must have that big sofa, make sure that the pieces near it are smaller. Also, buying large furniture means less space to maneuver in.
Install custom or built-in closets or shelves to maximize your space. Use every inch of your space, think outside the box! Installing shelves and wall-hung systems also frees your floor from clutter.

Wooden Lofts



Use your loft for storage;
Use your loft for living space;
