| Loft
Types
Dormer
This option is where the existing loft space is of insufficient
size for the proposed conversion, it creates additional headroom
for the staircase and new room or rooms contemplated. If an additional
bathroom is proposed along with the rooms the increased height created
by the Dormer provides additional height above the fittings.
Rooflight/Velux™
This option is generally adequate for those contemplating the smaller
loft conversion, generally for a single bedroom; study etc, where
adequate height is available within the existing loft space. Rooflights
can then be installed with a minimum of disruption.
Mansard
This type of conversion is generally designed within the inner London
areas, where clients are following the Mansard trend of similar
conversions within their locality. This type of conversion was the
preferred design a number of years ago, and would most likely be
the preferred option from a planning perspective in sensitive areas.
