What Are The Different Types Of 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 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.
The roof’s sloped side is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’s underhead height. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. These loft conversions are usually eligible under your permitted developments rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
Although it might sound strange, this type of conversion is actually much simpler than you may think. 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.
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. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.
Velux Loft Conversion
This is the simplest method of converting your loft. Roof windows are very popular as they don’t require any roof restructuring. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Would Be Best Suited For My Home?
Some loft conversions are not suitable for all houses. Mansard lofts can be used for detached and semi-detached homes. Velux lofts and dormer conversions work for all types of properties.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.
