What is a rooflight loft conversion?

A rooflight loft conversion oft conversion uses the space that is already underneath your rafters, so no roof extensions or dormers are required. Rooflight loft conversion are fitted into the ceiling, meaning that these types of loft conversion are naturally light and bright.

There are two main types of roof window we can install: centre pivot and top hung. A centre pivot window spins in the frame to allow for ventilation, whereas a top hung window hinges open from the top of the frame. We can discuss all options with you at your free design appointment.

Transforming your home with a rooflight loft conversion

A rooflight loft conversion is the ideal economical way to make use of the space you already have. Here are some of the main points you’ll want to consider.

Rooflight or loft head height

One of the key things to bear in mind is that you’ll need enough head height for this type of loft conversion – around 2.3m minimum. If you don’t have this much height available, another type of loft conversion may suit you more, such as a dormer, hip to gable or mansard.

However, if you have plenty of space – around 2.5-2.6m of head height – then you don’t really need any kind of roof extension. There will be plenty of room to walk around already, so we can directly convert this space into living space.
