This design is especially suitable for detached or detached properties, in Harpenden as it effectively converts the sloping side of your roof into a vertical wall. Not only does this increase the amount of space inside but it also adds a visually striking element to the exterior of your home.
3. Rooflight or Velux Loft Conversions: Basking in Natural Light
If you enjoy airy spaces our rooflight conversions are a choice. By incorporating high-quality Velux windows into your existing roofline, we fill your loft with light creating a welcoming atmosphere. This option is perfect for homeowners who want to make changes to their roof structure while gaining a comfortable new living area.
4. Trussed Roof Loft Conversions: Complex Made Simple
Trussed roofs commonly found in homes require a technical approach for conversion. Our team of experts at Loft Conversion Hertfordshire excels at restructuring these trusses to create an open-plan space. We ensure that the structural integrity of your home remains intact while delivering a transformation.
5. L-Shaped Dormer Loft Conversions: The Ultimate in Space and Design
Our L shaped dormer conversions are a game changer, for terraced and detached houses. This design optimizes space by extending both the side sections of your roof. The result? A spacious and versatile area that can accommodate rooms or provide a master suite.
