What Is A Hip To Gable Conversion?
A hip to gable conversion is an increasingly popular way to extend the loft space of your property. Most homes have a typical "hipped" roof which means all the sides slope inwards. This means the space below this sloping surface is virtually unusable. However, if the sloping sides of either end of the roof are replaced by vertical walls (or gables), suddenly this area becomes a lot more accessible and easy to utilize. This can be done on a single or even both sides of a property's preexisting roof. People often use this transformation to give space for an additional bedroom, office or recreational room.
