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 Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.
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. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
Although this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite simple. The hip-to-gable loft conversion is simply the lifting of one hip of the roof to create more space under the ceiling.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
Mansard Style 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.
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.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the easiest method to convert your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. The roof framework will remain as is. All you have to do is install a skylight in the roof’s liner. Natural light will make your attic more useful as the Velux window acts like a skylight.
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.
Similar to the above, hip-to gable loft conversions work best for semi-detached, detached or end terrace homes.
