What Are The Differences Between 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 are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. 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. Your new loft will make it easier to walk in, especially for tall people. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.

Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion

This may sound complicated, but it is really not. The hip-to-gable loft conversion is simply the lifting of one hip of the roof to create more space under the ceiling.

It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.

This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house 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. Roof windows are very popular as they don’t require any roof restructuring. Your roof frame will stay the same, so all you need to do is insert a skylight directly into your roof’s covering. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.

What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House?

Not all loft conversions will work 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.
