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. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. 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 this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite simple. A hip to gable loft conversion consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
Mansard Style Loft Conversion
Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.
This conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.
Mansard loft conversions add the greatest value to your house because of the extent of the work involved and the added space. 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 easiest method to convert 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. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House in Cullingworth?
Not all loft conversions will work for every home. Mansard lofts convert semi-detached to detached homes better, whereas dormer and velux lofts work for all types of properties.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.
