Different Types Of Roof

Skillion Roof: Is normally a single sloping roof surface, but not attached to another roof surface also known as a shed roof or a flat roof known in Australia.

Hip Roof: Is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid

Cross Gabled Roof: There are many types of gabled roofs. I enjoy the cross gabled roof which is used in homes with extra wings so that each portion of the home has its own triangular gabled roof. Flat Roof: This type of roof is obviously easy to identify. The benefits of a flat roof include that it's easier to construct, safer if you're going to stand on top of it and generally more accessible. The main drawback is that this type of roof requires more maintenance than other roofs in large part because debris will gather on the roof with nowhere to go.



Skillion Roof: This type of roof is a single sloping roof surface. You can think of it as just one half of:of a triangular roof or you can think of it as a flat roof that has been inclined slightly. It is often used on just a portion of the home. One modern architectural option is to use skillion roofing on a multi-level home to create unique shapes and patterns for the home's exterior.
