Gable Dormer Loft Conversions
What is a Gable Dormer Loft Conversion?
A gable dormer loft conversion involves extending the roof outward with a vertical gable wall and pitched roof. This creates a windowed structure that enhances headroom and natural light. This design is particularly suited for properties with pitched roofs, adding architectural charm while maximising functionality.
