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 Style Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. 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 you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible 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.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
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.
Because it is built into the existing house structure, this method converts your loft in a more artistic way than a dormer extension.
Mansard loft conversions add the greatest value to your house because of the extent of the work involved and the added space. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest way to convert your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best For My Home?
All types of loft conversions may not be suitable 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.
For the same reasons, hip-to–gable loft conversions can be used for semi-detached detached and end-terraced homes.
