Types of loft conversions Enfield

It is obvious why people choose to transform their loft into a functional room. By doing this, they add more value to the house, can store things more effectively while also enjoying a new room in the house and even earn more money by renting the new room.

Loft conversions Enfield need to be undertaken by professional builders who have the tools, knowledge and expertise that allow them to transform any empty space into anything its owners want. A loft can be used as a recreation room, kids’ bedroom, fitness room, guest room, secondary kitchen, wardrobe room or as a master bedroom.

Depending on the additional space required by homeowners, their budget, house style and also the local building codes, loft conversions can be divided into four categories: mansard, hip to gable, Velux and dormer. Each of these types of loft conversions Herts comes with their own advantages, as can be seen next.

The mansard type got its name from a French architect, Francois Mansart. This type of loft conversion features two slopes, one that is almost horizontal and another one that is almost vertical, at 72 degrees. The advantage of this loft conversion type is that it can provide homeowners with a significant additional space.

The hip to gable loft conversion type can deliver some additional space, too, only that this time, the extra space is provided at the edge of the roof. A gable wall is constructed there, heightening, thus, one of the walls of the house. The gap that is formed between the gable wall and the existing roof will form the additional loft space.

One of the most appreciated loft conversions Enfield is the one known as Velux conversion. This is so popular because it is cost effective and does not need planning permission, because it solely transforms the space that is already present under the roof into a functional room, with windows, lighting, heating and other features that can be found in any other room.

Dormer loft conversions Herts are actually extensions to the existing roof, providing homeowners with more space to use. This type of conversion is usually constructed at the back of the property and has a horizontal ceiling. Just like the Velux type of conversions and the other two mentioned before, so dormer loft conversions can be equipped with windows.

Lofts are spaces where people usually store things, but they can be used to do more than just to store products that are not used on a regular basis; they can also be used for relaxation purposes or as a way to increase your income, in case you rent the new space. Lofts can be transformed from empty spaces into functional rooms or constructed as extensions to the roof, providing the house with more space and also increasing its value.
