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 most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.
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. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development 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 is simply an elevation of one side of the roof’s hip in order to increase the underhead space.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
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.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. You will need to submit a full application for planning permission to your Local Planning Authority due the significant restructuring they entail.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest method to convert your loft. Because there is no need to modify the roof, adding roof windows is very common. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best 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.
