What Are The Differences Between Loft Conversions?
The type of loft conversion that you can create depends on the type of house that you live in. The area you live in will also determine what sort of planning permission is required. You can include, bathrooms, wet rooms or stunning natural light designs and much more.
There are 4 main types of loft conversions that can be done: Dormer Loft Conversion, Hip to Gable Loft Conversion, Mansard Loft Conversion and Velux Loft Conversion. Each has advantages and disadvantages depending on which type will work best with your existing house structure.
Dormer Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.
The sloped roof side is modified to create vertical walls. A flat roof is added to expand the room’s floor height. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
This may sound complicated, but it is really not. A hip-to gable loft conversion is simply an elevation of one side of the roof’s hip in order to increase the underhead space.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
Mansard Style Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion completely replaces one half of a property’s roof, to give it an additional floor. However, the roof structure on the opposite side is preserved.
This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.
Mansard lofts can increase your home’s value due to their extensive nature and added space. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the easiest way to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.
Which Type Of Loft Conversion Is More Suitable For My Home?
Some loft conversions are not suitable for all houses. Mansard Loft conversions are more suitable for semi-detached and detached homes, whereas velux and dormer lofts work for all types of properties.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.
