Flat Roof • A flat roof is the most economical to construct, but does not add much to the design. • They usually have a very slight pitch (slant) to help with drainage. • More popular in warmer areas where there is no snow fall.
Gable Roof • Very popular • Sheds water well • They come to a high point in the center and slope on both sides
Gambrel Roof • Resembles a barn roof • Provides a lot of headroom in the attic or second story • Comes from the Dutch
Hip Roof • Popular in Georgian Architecture • Hip roofs have sloping ends and sides.
Mansard Roof • It is a variation of the gambrel roof and sometimes has dormers. • Very popular in French architecture • Some McDonalds and Pizza Huts have variations of the mansard roof. • It has two slopes on all sides, with a steep lower slope and a flat upper slope.
Shed • Flat roof with a slope in one direction • May lean against another wall or a building
Butterfly • Two adjacent gables sloping inward • Originally designed to catch rainfall so the water could be used for other purposes
