Roofing design is no longer limited
to creating roofs that feature one sloping angle – here are some modern design
solutions that enjoy increasing popularity these days:
-
Flat roofs – in the
past, flat roofs were solutions chosen exclusively for industrial and
commercial buildings. However, the sturdiness, the durability, the easy
installation and the low maintenance needs of the roofing type make it a
popular choice for residential construction as well according to Algonquin roofers skilled in roofing types;
-
Shed roofs – another
simple, efficient and attractive solution, shed roofs add more volume to the
home interior, allow for creating spaces that are better-lit and are also easy
to build and to maintain. Shed roofs are very popular in hot climate areas,
where the buildings can benefit of the possibility to create large overhands to
block the sun in very hot periods;
-
Green roofs – roofing
structures can be fitted with special drainage systems, covered in fertile soil
and used for creating small gardens to add curb appeal and to reduce the urban
heat island effect. Green roofs can be covered in grass or in other suitable
plants. Though these structures require more attention and maintenance, they
are more expensive than more conventional solutions and they are not suitable
for any building, the solution is becoming increasingly popular among
environment-conscious property owners.
