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 are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. These are the best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable price.
The roof’s sloped side is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’s underhead height. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development 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 consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.
To increase the room height, a new vertical wall can be built from an existing gable.
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 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 most straightforward way to convert your loft. Because there is no need to modify the roof, adding roof windows is very common. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. Natural light will make your attic more useful as the Velux window acts like a skylight.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best For My Manningham Home?
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.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.
