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 Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.
The roof’s sloped side can be altered to create vertical walls and a flat roof to increase the area’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 Style Loft Conversion
This may sound complicated, but it is really not. 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 Style Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion completely replaces one half of a property’s roof, to give it an additional floor. However, the roof structure on the opposite side is preserved.
This conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. 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 easiest way to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. 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 Would Be Best Suited For My Home?
All types of loft conversions may not be suitable for every home. Mansard lofts can be used for detached and semi-detached homes. Velux lofts and dormer conversions work for all types of properties.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.
