Mansard

A mansard is constructed by raising the party walls either side of your property in brick and then creating a timber frame between the two new walls. The rear face of the mansard should slope backwards at 72degrees to comply with planning requirements. Mansard style conversions offer many of the same advantages as dormers, although are regarded by some to be more aesthetically pleasing, especially on older properties. Mansards will almost always require planning consent and full head-height floor space will be slightly less than in an equivalent sized dormer due to the slope of the mansard face. Our designers would be pleased to discuss your individual requirements with you and establish which type of loft conversion would be most suitable for your home.
