What Are The Main 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 Style Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are another popular type of loft conversion. 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. Your new loft will make you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
Although it might sound strange, this type of conversion is actually much simpler than you may think. 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
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. 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 most straightforward way to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. The roof framework will remain as is. All you have to do is install a skylight in the roof’s liner. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best 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.
