What Are The Main 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 are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. Your new loft will make it easier to walk in, especially for tall people. 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 simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
Mansard Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion is a complete replacement of one side of the roof on a property to make it more spacious. It also preserves the roof structure on the other side.
Because it is built into the existing house structure, this method converts your loft in a more artistic way than a dormer extension.
Mansard lofts can increase your home’s value due to their extensive nature and 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 method to convert your loft. Because there is no need to modify the roof, adding roof windows is very common. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House?
All types of loft conversions may not be suitable for every home. Mansard Loft conversions are more suitable for semi-detached and detached homes, whereas velux and dormer lofts work for all types of properties.
Similar to the above, hip-to gable loft conversions work best for semi-detached, detached or end terrace homes.
