Mansard Roof Extensions / Conversions
Nowadays, many homeowners experience a sense of limited space within their homes, regardless of the size of their family or household. This issue has become more pronounced with the rise of home working and modern lifestyles. However, the prospect of expensive, disruptive, and stressful house moves has led homeowners to seek alternative solutions that allow them to stay in their communities and create more livable spaces for a better family lifestyle.
In densely populated urban areas like London, where restrictions on side and rear extensions exist, the option of extending upwards emerges as a viable solution.
Mansard roof extensions effectively add an extra floor to a property by increasing the ceiling height. Over the years, they have proven to be an affordable and visually appealing solution for homeowners, particularly those residing in Victorian and Georgian terraced properties that were originally built for smaller families over a century ago.
What is Mansard Roof
Often confused with a gambrel roof, a mansard roof is also referred to as a French roof or curb roof. It features two slopes on all four sides, with the steepness varying between the top and sides. The upper slope is typically flat or nearly flat, while the lower slope is significantly steeper and commonly accommodates box-shaped dormer windows, which are vertically set into the sloping roof.
Mansard roofs are typically constructed with natural slate and are positioned at the front or rear of a property. When viewed from ground level, the upper slope is seldom visible. The choice of design variation depends on factors such as the client’s living environment and the structural characteristics of their home. The variations are:
– Straight: slight slope on the upward panel portion,
– Convex: curved outside on its lower slope portion,
– Concave: curved inside on its lower slope portion, with a steep angle on the bottom
