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 Style 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 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 your life easier, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development 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.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
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.
Because it is built into the existing house structure, this method converts your loft in a more artistic way than a dormer extension.
Mansard loft conversions will add the most value and space to your home due to the nature of the work and the extra space. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the simplest method of converting your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very 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 Is Best Suited To My House?
Not all loft conversions will work 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.
