Roofies
Roof shapes
- Flat: These are found in traditional buildings in regions with a low precipitation. Modern materials which are highly impermeable to water make possible the very large low-pitch roofs found on large commercial buildings. Although called flat they are generally gently pitched.
- Terrace: A flat roof with a balustrade, used as a living space.
- Mono-pitched roofs (Pitched here means a roof plane rather than a slope and implies it is not a flat roof)
- Mono-pitched roof (shed, skillion, lean-to roof[2]): A roof with one slope, historically attached to a taller wall.
- Saw-tooth: A roof comprising a series of mono-pitched roofs with vertical surfaces glazed and facing away from the equator. The sloping surfaces are opaque, shielding the workers and machinery from direct sunlight. This sort of roof admits natural light into afactory, and is also known as "Northlight" in the northern hemisphere.[3]
- Pent roof (pentice, skirt roof if carried around the house[4]): A roof appended, thus the name, to the wall of a building. (See gallery below)
- Multi-pitched roofs:
- Gable (ridged, dual-pitched, peaked, saddle, pack-saddle, saddleback,[5] span roof[6]): A simple roof design shaped like an inverted V.
- Cross gabled: The result of joining two or more gabled roof sections together, forming a T or L shape for the simplest forms, or any number of more complex shapes.
- See also roof pitch, crow-stepped, corbie stepped, stepped gable: A gable roof with its end parapets extended upwards and shaped to resemble steps.
- A-frame
- Asian traditional style
- Half-hipped (clipped gable): A combination of a gable and a hip roof with the hipped part at the top and the gable section lower down.
- Dutch gable, gablet: A hybrid of hipped and gable with the gable at the top and hipped lower down; i.e. the opposite arrangement to the half-hipped roof.
- Saltbox, catslide: A gable roof with one side longer than the other, and thus closer to the ground unless the pitch on one side is altered.
- Outshot or catslide: A pitched extension of a main roof similar to a lean-to but an extension of the upper roof.
- Bonnet roof: A reversed gambrel or Mansard roof with the lower portion at a lower pitch than the upper portion.
- Monitor roof: A roof with a monitor; 'a raised structure running part or all of the way along the ridge of a double-pitched roof, with its own roof running parallel with the main roof.'
- Butterfly roof (V-roof,[7] London roof[8]): A V-shaped roof resembling an open book. A kink separates the roof into two parts running towards each other at an obtuse angle.
- Karahafu: A type of gable found in some traditional Japanese buildings.
- Hidden roof: A type of Japanese roof construction.
- Hip, hipped: A hipped roof is sloped in two pairs of directions (e.g. N-S and E-W) compared to the one pair of direction (e.g. N-S or E-W) for a gable roof.
- Half-hipped: A hybrid of a gable and a hipped roof. (See above.)
- Dutch gable, gablet: The reverse hybrid of a hipped and a gable roof. (See above.)
- Cross hipped: The result of joining two or more hip roof sections together, forming a T or L shape for the simplest forms, or any number of more complex shapes.
- Satari: A Swedish variant on the monitor roof; a double hip roof with a short vertical wall usually with small windows, popular from the 17th century on formal buildings.[citation needed] (Säteritak in Swedish.)
- Mansard (French roof): A roof with the pitch divided into a shallow slope above a steeper slope. The steep slope may be curved. An element of the Second Empire architectural style (Mansard style) in the U.S.
- Gambrel, curb, kerb: A roof similar to a mansard but sloped in one direction rather than both.
- Bell-cast (sprocketed, flared): A roof with the shallow slope below the steeper slope at the eaves. Compare with bell roof.
- East Asian hip-and-gable roof
- Mokoshi: A Japanese decorative pent roof
- Pyramidal
- Pyramid roof (pavilion roof): A hip roof on a square building.
- Pyatthat: A multi-tiered and spired roof commonly found in Burmese royal and Buddhist architecture.
- Tented:A type of polygonal hipped roof with steeply pitched slopes rising to a peak
- Helm roof, Rhenish helm: A pyramidal roof with gable ends; often found on church towers.
- Twisted, an extreme display of craftsmanship found on some church towers in France, see gallery below.
- Arched roof
- Barrel, barrel-arched (cradle, wagon): A round roof like a barrel (tunnel) vault.
- Catenary: An arched roof in the form of a catenary curve.
- Bow roof, rainbow,[9] Gothic, Gothic arch, and ship's bottom roof. Historically also called a compass roof.[10]
