Types of loft conversions
There are two main types of loft conversion that are widespread:
1. Roof window
conversion
Roof windows are often an attractive option for homeowners due to their
ability to fit into the line of the roof; thus not necessitating any
restructuring of the roof itself. The installation of such windows will
provide the loft space with substantial light. A roof window conversion
will sometimes not require planning permission, although they will
always require building regulation approval (UK).
2. Dormer
conversion
A dormer is a window-featured extension of the roof, usually installed
to provide more space and headroom within the loft, in addition to
improved staircase access. Dormers are also popular due to the
aesthetic enhancement to a property that they provide. In the UK, the
installation of a dormer is subject to planning permission requirements
from the local authorities.
[edit]Other types of loft conversion
In addition to roof window and dormer conversions, there are less
common 'hip to gable' and 'mansard' conversions, which can be installed
when certain circumstances require their features.
