Question

Which of the following is the type of roof which slopes in two directions with a break in the slope on each side?

A.

Gambrel roof

B.

Mansard roof

C.

Hip roof

D.

Gable roof

Correct option is B



A Mansard roof is a type of roof that slopes in two directions, with a break in the slope on each side. This roof style has two distinct slopes on each of its sides: the upper part of the slope is shallower, while the lower part is much steeper. This design allows for additional usable space in the upper level, often used as an attic or living area.
1. Gambrel roof:
A gambrel roof is a type of roof with two slopes on each side, but only the lower slope is steeper. It does not feature the break in slope characteristic of a Mansard roof.
2. Mansard roof:
The Mansard roof has the specific feature of a break in the slope on each side, with a shallow upper slope and a steeper lower slope.
3. Hip roof:
A hip roof slopes in all four directions and does not have the break in the slope.
4. Gable roof:
A gable roof slopes in two directions without the break or differing angles, forming a triangular shape.
