What Are The Types Of Loft Conversions Available?
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 have become a very popular choice of conversions in the UK. They are the best way for you to expand your home at an affordable price.
The sloped roof side is modified to create vertical walls. A flat roof is added to expand the room’s floor height. Your new loft will make your life easier, especially if you are tall. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.
Hip-To-Gable 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.
To increase the room height, a new vertical wall can be built from an existing gable.
Mansard Loft Conversion
A mansard loft is where one half the property’s roof is removed and replaced with a new roof. The other roof structure remains intact.
This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house structure.
Mansard loft conversions will add the most value and space to your home due to the nature of the work and the extra space. Because of the extensive restructuring involved, they will require a full planning permission application from your Local Planning Authority.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest way to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. The roof framework will remain as is. All you have to do is install a skylight in the roof’s liner. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Would Be Best Suited For My Home?
Some loft conversions are not suitable for all houses. Mansard lofts can be used for detached and semi-detached homes. Velux lofts and dormer conversions work for all types of properties.
For the same reasons, hip-to–gable loft conversions can be used for semi-detached detached and end-terraced homes.
