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 have become a very popular choice of conversions in the UK. They are the best way for you to expand your home at an affordable price.
The sloped roof side is modified to create vertical walls. A flat roof is added to expand the room’s floor 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
Although this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite simple. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
Mansard Style 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 conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.
Mansard loft conversions add the greatest value to your house because of the extent of the work involved and the added space. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the easiest way 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. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best 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.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.
