Mansard Roof

Like the gambrel roof, mansard roofs have two different slopes on the sides of each roof. But while the gambrel only has two sides, a mansard roof has four, which makes it an analog to a hip roof (as the gambrel is to a gable). In a mansard roof, the lower slope is much steeper than the upper, and all sides can be flat or curved, depending on the building’s architectural style. The lower, steeper slope can be used as additional floor space, known as a garret, and can be punctuated with dormers. This roof's distinct French aesthetic is thanks to Francois Mansart, who lent his name to the style in the French Baroque period. Unique materials such as copper and zinc metals complement this equally unique roofing type.
