Gable Designs
A gable roof features two sloped sides that meet at a central ridge, forming a distinctive triangular shape. Gable roofs are easily identifiable by their flat, triangular ends named gables, distinguishing them from hip and gambrel designs. They provide attic space, a simplified installation process, and therefore cost-effectiveness in construction.
Recommended Materials: Asphalt shingles are a popular choice for gable roofs, providing durability and a wide range of design and color options. Metal roofing also complements the gable design well, offering longevity and weather resistance while giving the building a modern look.
-
Hip Roofs
A hip style has all sides sloping downwards with no vertical ends. These pitched roof pieces meet with ridges called hips, and the lowered spaces between them are called valleys. Hip roofs provide a more stable and aerodynamic structure compared to gabled structures.
Recommended Materials: Metal roofing and dimensional shingles are excellent choices for hip roofs, and these materials don’t need high wind resistance because of the design. Extra flashing should be installed in valleys to ensure proper runoff.
-
Gambrel Style
A gambrel design is one that you don’t recognize until you see it. This style has two distinct slopes on each side, with the lower slope being steeper than the upper slope, creating that traditional barn shape so popular on agricultural properties. Gambrel roofs maximize interior space, making them suitable for residential and agricultural buildings.
Recommended Materials: Gambrel roofs are often fitted with wood shingles or shakes, enhancing their traditional charm. Asphalt and architectural shingles are also suitable, providing a balance of cost-effectiveness and durability.
