What Are The 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. They are the best way for you to expand your home at an affordable 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 you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very 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
A mansard loft is where one half the property’s roof is removed and replaced with a new roof. The other roof structure remains intact.
This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house 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.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the most straightforward way 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. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit 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 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.
