Shapes of Roofs • Gable Roof • Gambrel Roof • Mansard Roof • Hipped Roof • Flat Roof • Shed Roof
1. Gable Roof The triangular upper part of a wall between the sloping ends of a pitched roof. A triangular ornamental feature in the form of a gable, ESP as used over a door or window. The triangular wall on both ends of a gambrel roof.
2. Gambrel Roof A traditional shape that dates back to the colonial period; the lower level is covered with a steep roof surface, which connects into the upper roof system with a slighter Pitch.
3. Mansard Roof A mansard or mansard roof (also called a French roof or curb roof) is a four-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterized by two slopes on each of its sides with the lower slope, punctured by dormer windows, at a steeper angle than the upper.
4. Flat Roof A flat roof is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°. Flat roofs are an ancient form mostly used in arid climates and allow the roof space to be used as a living space or a living roof.
5. Shed Roof Offers the same simplicity and economical construction methods as a flat roof but does not have the drainage problems associated with a flat roof.
6. Hipped Roof A hip roof, hip-roof or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. Thus it is a house with no gables or other vertical sides to the roof. A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid. Hip roofs on houses could have two triangular sides and two trapezoidal ones. A hip roof on a rectangular plan has four faces. They are almost always at the same pitch or slope, which makes them symmetrical about the centerlines.
