Traditional Roof and Flat Roof Detail: What You Need to Know

A traditional roof is one with a steep slope. It is more commonly preferred by homeowners for its durability and provision of efficient ventilation systems. Its design also allows for an inclusion of an attic as extra storage space.

With a steep-pitch slope, water drainage would also be less of a problem since water will only slide off from the roof. The same principle goes with snow, and other debris like leaves from trees--the steep slope of the roof will inhibit the accumulation and damaging effects. Because of its efficient ventilation capacity, additional costs for energy expenditures would be necessary for cold climates especially in the winter months. The need for regular maintenance is somewhat minimal since steep-sloping roofs are built for its durability; even with slight damages, this type of roofing could sustain for several years.

For a flat roof detail, the benefits would include less building-cost since fewer materials and labour services are for its compact design. Its flat roof surface also provides space that could be utilised for terraces, and commercial uses such as swimming pools and outdoor recreational area. It is also preferable in cold climates since its design allows for more efficient heat absorption, trapping heat from outside sources to the interior of the house.

However, problems like drainage are to be expected with this type of roofing system. Contractors should utilise sturdy materials to withstand the load of debris, lest the entire structure would be compromised. This precaution would require more expenses since regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the functionality of buildings with flat roof detail. For the sake of economy, buildings with flat roof detail are used mostly for commercial purposes. Most homeowners still prefer the traditional roof or steep-pitched sloping because its greater advantages.
