Velux windows being fitted in a loft conversion in Halfway, Sheffield

Installation of Velux windows

Velux windows are a fantastic way of flooding your loft conversion with natural daylight. The give the sense of space, light and can be fitted side by side as in the image above to form a feature window in any loft conversion

These velux windows are being fitted into  a modern truss loft conversion in Halfway in Sheffield. They are forming part of a master bedroom that also includes an en-suite shower room.

There are different style of Velux windows and different sizes. We do not fit the center pivot Velux windows as a Velux window is usually fitted at a height  you can see out of. If you have a Velux window that pivots inwards you could bang your head on it.

We only fit the higher specification GHL top hung Velux window as these Velux window open upwards outside the roof slope ( see the above image ) These windows are more practical and form a feature within your new rooms. They also spin inside out for the ease of cleaning the external pane of glass.

We believe that if you are having Velux windows in your loft conversion you need to maximize the size of the Velux window. There is no point in have small Velux windows installed into your loft conversion as you are not going to maximize the daylight coming through the Velux window.

We always fit large Velux windows, our most popular size window is the GHL MO8. The size of the Velux window is 1400 mm in height x 780 mm in width.

Modern Truss Loft Conversion In Sheffield

Loft conversion in Totley, Sheffield

Our loft conversion in Totley, Sheffield under construction

We have just completed another loft conversion in Totley. This modern built property was originally constructed with a ‘W’ truss rafter roof.

We convert the modern truss lofts that builders and architects say can’t be converted, using our very own State-of-the-Art ReSteel System.

If your roof space is filled with tonnes of W-shaped wooden roof rafters, we can still build you the home of your dreams with our uniquely developed ReSteel System. A combination of innovative design and the very latest technologies, we use high-tensile steel beams that allows us to remove the W-shaped rafters and open up your loft to create the space needed for your new loft conversion.

These steel beams are fitted within the new floor structure and are not seen. The beams are specially designed by our structural engineer and manufactured for each individual loft conversion project and our work is fully compliant with most stringent building regulations (It’s actually stronger than before!)

This spacious loft was transformed into a large feature landing to be used as an play area and also a double bedroom. We fitted Four Velux MO6 GHL windows to flood the two rooms with natural day light.

The finished project looks stunning. Completed within 6 weeks and on budget.
