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 best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable price.
The roof’s sloped side can be altered to create vertical walls and a flat roof to increase the area’s underhead height. Your new loft will make your life easier, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very simple. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
Mansard Loft Conversion
Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.
This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the easiest method to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. Your roof frame will stay the same, so all you need to do is insert a skylight directly into your roof’s covering. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House?
Not all loft conversions will work for every home. Dormer or Velux, are suitable for all kinds of property. Mansard lofts, however, are better suited for semi-detached or detached homes due to the extra construction space they require.
Similar to the above, hip-to gable loft conversions work best for semi-detached, detached or end terrace homes.
