What is a Mansard Roof in Kent?
A Mansard roof is a type of roof design that originated in France in the 17th century. It is characterized by a steeply sloping roof with two slopes on each side, with the lower slope being much steeper than the upper slope. The Mansard roof design is often used to create additional living space within a property, particularly in areas with strict building height restrictions.
Mansard Roof Design
The Mansard roof design typically consists of a flat or slightly pitched upper section, with a steeply sloping lower section. The lower section is often nearly vertical, with a slope of 60 degrees or more. This design allows for a greater amount of living space within the roof area, while also providing a unique and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Creating Additional Space with a Mansard Roof Conversion
One of the main benefits of a Mansard roof is the ability to create additional living space within the roof area. By converting the space within the Mansard roof, homeowners in Kent can add extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas to their property. This can be a cost-effective alternative to building an extension or moving to a larger property.
