What Are The Differences Between 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 have become a very popular choice of conversions in the UK. They are the best way for you to expand your home at an affordable price.

The roof’s sloped side is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’s underhead height. Your new loft will make your life easier, especially if you are tall. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.

Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion

You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very 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.

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 of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.

Mansard loft conversions will add the most value and space to your home due to the nature of the work and the extra space. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.

Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion

This is the simplest method of converting your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.

What Type Of Loft Conversion Would Be Best Suited For My Wilsden 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.

Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.
