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 Style Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions have become a very popular choice of conversions in the UK. These are the best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable price.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. Your new loft will make it easier to walk in, especially for tall people. These loft conversions are usually eligible under your permitted developments 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 is simply an elevation of one side of the roof’s hip in order to increase the underhead space.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
Mansard Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion completely replaces one half of a property’s roof, to give it an additional floor. However, the roof structure on the opposite side is preserved.
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 easiest way 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 Would Be Best Suited For My Harden Home?
Not every type of loft conversion is suitable for every house. Mansard lofts can be used for detached and semi-detached homes. Velux lofts and dormer conversions work for all types of properties.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.
