House Roof Constructions

Posted by admin on Thursday Jan 26, 2012 Under Roofing

There are a number of roofing concepts for your home or conservatory.

Flat roofing, ridged roofing, gable roof or frame roof.  Your roof can be finished off with a number of materials including , tar, tiles and slates to name a few.

Roofs can take a mean battering by weather, so it is important they are constructed properly, repaired and maintained by a knowledgable professional roofing contractor.

Fibreglass Roofing

Not that common type, but a very effective method of making a flat roof that keeps out the moisture, rain with no cracks or leaks.

What is a Gable Roof?

The gable roof is a very common roof type. The gable roof is easy to build, drainswater well, provides for ventilation, and is suitable for a variety of houses and architecture designs.
What is a Hip Roof?

The hip roof is slightly more difficult to build than a gable roof, but is still a popular choice. It does not provide for ventalation as well as some other roof designs and increases the chance for leakage due to the hips and valleys.

What is a Flat Roof?

A flat roof is the cheapest roof to build out of the lot, ans is suited to specific scenarios, like garages.
What is an A-frame Roof?

The A-frame provides not only a roof but the walls as well and can provide benefits for garages, outbuildings. Can be in wood or metal.

A very attractive roof with character but originally found in cottages.  Further developments allowed them to be used in homes, churches, and other buildings.
