  1. Types of Roofs

  2. Roof greatly affects the overall appearance of a home. • There are many standard roofing styles. • Choose a style that complements the basic design of the house being planned.

  3. Roof Design • The roof design and roofing materials have a significant impact on the finished appearance of the residence.

  4. Gable Roof • A single gable roof is made up of two rectangular roofs and a bit slanting, meeting at a point to form a single roof.

  5. Hip Roof • Hip roof is slightly more difficult to build than a gable roof. • It is a popular choice, but does not provide for ventilation as well as some designs.

  6. Flat Roof • Flat roof is the most economical roof to build, but it adds little to the design of most houses. • It requires a “built-up” or membrane roof covering.

  7. Shed Roof • A shed roof is similar to a flat roof but has more pitch. • It is frequently used for additions or with other roof styles.

  8. Mansard Roof • Mansard roof is a French design and is more difficult to construct than the hip or gable roof.

  9. Dutch Hip Roof • Dutch hip roof is basically a hip roof with a small gable at either end. • The gables can be used for ventilation.

  10. Gambrel Roof • Gambrel roof is sometimes called a barn roof because it has been used extensively on barns. • It provides additional headroom in the attic.

  11. Butterfly Roof • Butterfly roof is not widely used. • It provides plenty of light and ventilation, but drainage is a problem

  12. Winged Gable • Winged gable is essentially a gable roof, extended at the peak.

  13. A-Frame Roof • A-frame roof provides a roof and walls for the structure. • Is popular for cottages, homes, churches, and other structures.

  14. Folded Plate Roof • Folded plate roof has limited use in single-family homes. • Modular, prefabricated roof units are also available.

  15. Curved Panel Roof • Curved panel roof is similar to the folded plate roof in style and application. • It is available in prefabricated modules.
