What Is A Dormer Loft Conversion?
The most popular form of loft extension in London and throughout the rest of the UK, too, the dormer is recognisable as a vertical extension pointing out of a sloped roof. Essentially, a dormer loft creates additional floor and head space inside, with areas of a sloping roof partially replaced by a flat roof extending out to become parallel with the outer wall of the property.
The dormer is a popular design for three reasons. One is that sloping roofs are ubiquitous across England, and another is that the materials involved in flat roofs have come on leaps and bounds in recent years. However, the most crucial reason the dormer is so popular is its effectiveness in creating new space inside the home.
An Incredible, Original New Living Space
Most homeowners opt for a dormer loft conversion for one of two reasons: either to extend a bedroom or to create an entirely new living space. From the outside, a dormer conversion looks like it only adds a small amount of extra room – but, inside the property, it’s a different story. During a full loft conversion involving a dormer extension, we often find that the homeowner would like a stylish en-suite bedroom on the top floor of their property.
This could be a fully-formed living area for an older child who’s looking for independence or an office for an entrepreneur who works from home. With a dormer conversion, you can also let a lot of light into the room and will have a completely new view over your property.
