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 Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. They are the best way for you to expand your home at an affordable price.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. 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 it might sound strange, this type of conversion is actually much simpler than you may think. 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.
This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house 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. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission 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. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House?
Not every type of loft conversion is suitable for every house. 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.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.
