What is the MANSARD roof?
Mansard roof is a type of hip roof characterized by a double slope on all sides. This roof design has a steep slope on the roof base with a shallower slope on the top of a steep slope. Shallow slopes meet to create a roof. In many cases, the shallow slope of the roof of the manor roof from the ground is not visible depending on how the roof is designed and installed. Variants include a traditional straight MANSARD roof, along with concave and convex patterns. Mansard did not develop this design, but made it common and people began to apply for roofs and la Mansart . The English spokespersons apparently had trouble with their name and corrupt him to "Mansard". The Beaux Arts style has become very popular in Britain and the United States, and in these regions, many very fine examples of this roof style show.
Mansart's reason for the popularization of this style was not entirely aesthetic, although the rising SVThe roof of the manor roof is certainly complemented by the architecture of the art of Beaux. He used the design to skirt French tax law. Under the tax codes of that time, people were taxed to floors under the roof. With the roof behind the manor roofs, one or more floors are actually tucked into the roof and would therefore be exempt from tax. Real estate owners trying to minimize their tax liability could use the Mansard roof to enjoy some other floors without paying for them.
Increased interior space under the roof of the settlement is one of the reasons why the design remains very popular. With the roof of the settlement, almost the entire space under the roof is used due to a steep slope on the lower part of the roof. There are a lot of light to the eaves and creates a fully usable floor that would be cramped under another roof style. The strength roof can also be further enhanced by the Vieře, which adds light and more space to the design.
in areas with heavy snow in winter must be this roof design nainsTalked carefully. On the shallow slopes of the roof, snow can accumulate and potentially add a significant weight to the roof. If the weight has grown too much, the roof may join or collapse. The accumulation of snow can also support leaks because the water pushes into the roof, freezes and expands and creates numerous small cracks and other holes.
