A mansard roof is known for its classic elegance, architectural appeal, and functional design. While traditionally associated with historic European architecture, the mansard roof has become a popular choice for screen enclosures, patios, and pool areas—especially in Florida.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we design and install mansard roof screen enclosures that combine timeless style with modern performance.
A mansard roof features a double-sloped design on all four sides, with a steep lower slope and a flatter upper slope, creating added height and visual appeal.
A mansard roof is defined by its two slopes per side:
In traditional buildings, dormer windows are often added to the lower slope. In screen enclosures, the design creates a more open, elevated feel.
Mansard roofs are instantly recognizable and add visual interest that elevates the overall look of a structure.
From classic homes to modern Florida properties, mansard roof screen enclosures adapt beautifully to many design styles.
The steep lower slope allows for greater interior height, making enclosed spaces feel larger and more comfortable.
The mansard design introduces architectural sophistication that sets it apart from flat or low-profile enclosures.
When used for screen enclosures, mansard roofs offer:
They are especially popular for homeowners who want a high-profile enclosure with refined aesthetics.
