 What Is A Roof ??? 
o Roof is the covering on the 
uppermost part of a building. 
A roof protects the building and 
its contents from the effects of 
weather. 
oIn most countries a roof 
protects primarily against rain. 
Depending upon the nature of 
the building, the roof may also 
protect against heat, sunlight, 
cold and wind.
Roofing Terminology 
 Hip 
The external angle at the junction of 
two sides of a roof whose supporting 
walls adjoin. 
 Joist 
In a flat roof, a horizontal structural 
member over which sheathing is 
nailed. 
 Rafter 
A structural member (usually slanted) 
to which sheathing is nailed. 
 Flashing 
Sheet metal or other material used at junctions of different planes on a roof to prevent 
leakage. 
 Gable 
The triangular upper part of a wall closing the end of a ridged roof 
 Ridge 
The horizontal line at the top edge of two sloping roof planes. 
 Valley 
The less-than 180-degree angle where two sloping roof sections come together
Roof Types
Flat roof 
A flat roof is not truly flat but angled slightly to allow for water 
runoff. It is the cheapest to build initially but will cost you much 
more than other roof types in maintenance costs.
Shed Roof 
A shed roof is basically a flat roof with a slightly greater 
angle allowing for greater runoff. They are relatively easy to 
build and inexpensive as compared to most other roof types. 
They are usually used on home extension rooms and 
porches
Gable Roof 
A gable roof consists of two shed roof structures joined at 
the peak forming a ridge line. 
Gable Dormers 
Dormers are room construction 
extensions from the roof structure. 
They usually have windows or doors 
on the front wall structure. Dormers 
are often used in 1 ½ story 
construction to provide light and 
ventilation to the upper story.
Hip Roof 
A hip or hipped 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. In other words we called 
as PYRAMID ROOF. 
 Hip roofs on houses could 
have two triangular sides and 
two trapezoidal ones. A hip 
roof on a rectangular plan has 
four faces.
Gamblrel Roof 
Gambrel roof design is similar to gable construction With 
two angles on each side. Steep lower surfaces and shallow 
angle top surfaces allow greater floor space in 1 ½ story 
construction.
Mansard Roof 
Mansard roof construction consists of a compound hip roof design 
with a lower and upper hip format.
Butterfly Roof 
The butterfly roof is an inverted gable roof design creating a 
central valley for runoff. The design is visually stunning but 
impractical for water tightness.
Dome Roof 
Dome construction is one of the most difficult to build but is 
often the most interesting visually 
The marble dome of theTaj Mahal.
