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 rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.
The roof’s sloped side can be altered to create vertical walls and a flat roof to increase the area’s underhead height. 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 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 simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
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. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
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. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. Natural light will make your attic more useful as the Velux window acts like a skylight.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best For My Bramhope 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.
