As opposed to a loft conversion, where the space used is contained within the existing roof – the vertical extension optimises as much floor space above your roof by providing extensions to a section of your existing roof and lifting both sides from perimeter wall to perimeter wall.
This extension is not confined to a section of roof space. Vertical extensions could also double your space completely by creating a double story on your premises.
These extensions can be completed in timber, light steel, and brick and mortar.
- A vertical extension can essentially act as a double story.
- Various building materials can be used to create an aesthetically pleasing vertical extension.
- A vertical extension is not the same as a loft conversion.
