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 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 can be altered to create vertical walls and a flat roof to increase the area’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 Style Loft Conversion
Although this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite 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.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
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.
This conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.
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 Loft Conversion
This is the simplest method of converting your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. 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?
Some loft conversions are not suitable for all houses. Dormer or Velux, are suitable for all kinds of property. Mansard lofts, however, are better suited for semi-detached or detached homes due to the extra construction space they require.
For the same reasons, hip-to–gable loft conversions can be used for semi-detached detached and end-terraced homes.
