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 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. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
This may sound complicated, but it is really not. The hip-to-gable loft conversion is simply the lifting of one hip of the roof to create more space under the ceiling.
It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.
Mansard 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 method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.
Mansard loft conversions will add the most value and space to your home due to the nature of the work and the extra space. You will need to submit a full application for planning permission to your Local Planning Authority due the significant restructuring they entail.
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. Your roof frame will stay the same, so all you need to do is insert a skylight directly into your roof’s covering. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House?
Not all loft conversions will work for every home. 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.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.
