Roofs form the most important

component of any building or structure

as they not only protect the structure but

also make it whole. Traditionally the

roofing styles followed in specific

regions was generally based on the

environmental needs of the region. But

over the past few decades with

increased globalization, people are

increasingly experimenting with the

roofing styles from across the globe. In

keeping with this trend, a roofing

structures manufacturer in India needs

to be well aware of the flowing different

style of roofs.

Gable Style

These are perhaps the simplest styles of roofs and look like an inverted V. While these

roofs are preferable in areas that receive extremely high rain or snowfall, they are not

suitable for regions known for having high speed winds.

Flat Roofs

Flat roofs are another popular style offered by roofing companies in India. They are extremely easy to construct as they do not have a pitch. They are most popular in the plains and low lying areas across the country. They are most commonly used with the rubber roofing systems to provide the best results.

Hip Roofs

The best way to describe hip roofs is a roof that has four sloping sides and does not feature any vertical lines or walls. These roofs are a lot more complex than either the gable style or flat roofs and hence are also comparatively difficult to build due to their complex truss and rafter structure.

Gambrel Roofs

These roofs were typically used for covering the barns but now have been

adapted in residential buildings as well. These roofs provide enough extra

space in the attics that can be easily converted into bedrooms and living areas.

A-Frame Roof This type of roof is extremely popular with structures such as churches, cottages and homes etc. What makes this style of roofs unique is that they act as both the wall and the roof of the structure for which they are constructed.
