There are many types of loft conversions to consider. The best style for your home will depend on factors such as your budget, existing roof shape, ridge height, and intended use of the conversion. Below are examples of different styles of loft conversions, all of which will offer a stunning addition to your home.
A hip to gable loft conversion on a detached or semi-detached property is a great way to increase the usable space in your loft. It involves extending the existing roofline at the side of the house to create a gable end. This loft conversion will provide more headroom and living space. It can be tailored to suit your needs. Whether you're looking for extra bedrooms, a bedroom with an en-suite, a walk-in wardrobe, an office, study or playroom, with the right design and planning, a hip to gable loft conversion can be an attractive addition to your home.
A flat roof dormer is an ideal way to add more living space to your home. It involves extending the roof out to create additional floor space in the loft. The benefit of a flat roof dormer is that it adds height to the room, therefore adding more usable floor space, extra natural light and is quick to construct. With AHR Loft Conversions, your loft can be transformed into an attractive, functional, and comfortable living space.
A pitched roof dormer is very similar to a flat roof dormer and comes with the same benefits but can often look more aesthetically pleasing. It can be an attractive feature to your property and, depending on your property style, you can add multiple pitched roof dormers.
Roof light loft conversions (often called Velux loft conversions) are the easiest type of conversion to build. Here the existing loft space is not altered or extended in any way. Velux windows are installed fitting flush to the existing roof line. This style works well for lofts where there is already a good amount of headroom or there are constraints on planning. Velux windows allow a great amount of natural light to come in. The new space can be used for anything: from an extra bedroom to a home office or playroom. Roof light loft conversions are a cost effective solution and they take less time to build as they require less structural work.
