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 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. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.

Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion

This may sound complicated, but it is really not. 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

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. 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. Roof windows are very popular as they don’t require any roof restructuring. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.

Loft Conversion Leeds - What Type Is Best Suited For My Home?

Not every type of loft conversion is suitable for every house. Mansard lofts convert semi-detached to detached homes better, whereas dormer and velux lofts work for all types of properties.

Similar to the above, hip-to gable loft conversions work best for semi-detached, detached or end terrace homes.
