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 rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. These are the best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable price.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. Your new loft will make your life easier, especially if you are tall. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
Although this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite simple. A hip to gable loft conversion consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.
It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.
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.
This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.
Mansard loft conversions add the greatest value to your house because of the extent of the work involved and the added space. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the most straightforward 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. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.
Which Type Of Loft Conversion Is More Suitable For My Home?
Not all loft conversions will work for every home. Mansard lofts convert semi-detached to detached homes better, whereas dormer and velux lofts work for all types of properties.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.
