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 you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very simple. A hip-to gable loft conversion is simply an elevation of one side of the roof’s hip in order to increase the underhead space.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
Mansard Loft Conversion
Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.
This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house structure.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.
Velux Or Roof Window 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. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. 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.
For the same reasons, hip-to–gable loft conversions can be used for semi-detached detached and end-terraced homes.
