Roof Type | Definition | Characteristics |
---|---|---|
Cross Gabled Roof | A roof formed by two equal gable roofs intersecting perpendicularly. | Features a unique cross-shaped ridge, enhancing the visual appeal of the building. |
Cross Hipped Roof | A complex roof structure formed by multiple slopes intersecting each other. | Offers superior drainage and a unique appearance due to its intersecting slopes. |
Gable Roof | A triangular-shaped roof with a gable at each end. | Its slope aids in drainage, but the structure may be less sturdy if the eaves extend too far. The triangular shape also adds aesthetic value. |
Hip Roof | A roof composed of four equal slopes meeting at a ridge. | Offers greater structural stability and effective drainage due to its four sloping sides. |
Mixed Gabled and Hipped Roof | A roof that combines the features of a gable roof and a hip roof. | Combines the advantages of both roof types, offering structural stability and aesthetic appeal. |
Shed Roof | A roof consisting of a single large slope, often with a relatively low pitch. | Simple in construction and low in maintenance costs, but the interior space may feel somewhat cramped on the lower side. Drainage performance depends on the slope and materials used. |
U-Shaped Roof | A roof shaped like the letter "U". | Used for large-area coverage with high drainage requirements, such as greenhouses or swimming pools. |
