Are you
seeking a suitable new form of roofing for your home? Although you may not
realise it, the options available for roofing are vast. Every property has
different needs and requirements that are dependant on various factors.
Deciding what type of roofing to go for can seem a little confusing, but it
doesn’t have to be. Every type of roof will have its advantages and its
setbacks you should consider. If you’re looking into investing in a pitched
style roof but feel a little uncertain if it would be appropriate for your
home, this guide is designed for you. This information will assist you in
figuring out what is entailed in getting a pitched roof detailing factors you
may not have considered.
Pitched
roofing is frequently associated with modern and minimalist architecture but it
also a frequent feature of classic new-revival homes.The advantages of this
style of roofing don’t just lie in its chic and versatile appearance, there are
also many practical elements that ensure your home has long lasting and fullproof
protection, adding a beautiful finish to any home. If you are currently amidst
the deciding process of selecting a roof, or already in the process of a
renovation, this handy guide will hopefully aid you in making an informed
decision.
Style
Perhaps an
obvious one, but many people opt for this type of roofing due to stylistic
purposes. Pitched roofs come in many varieties, shapes and sizes. The classic
option that many homeowners like, is the classic two-sided sloped roof. For a
more contemporary approach you may wish to go for a design that employs a sharp
angular design with hips and valleys. Pitched roofing can also allow for more
natural light in your home as it gives you the opportunity for larger window
space making your home appear bigger and brighter.
Longevity
You’ll often
see pitched roofs in many european countries that experience extreme weather
and heavy snowfall such as Norway and Sweden. The angular shape of the roof is
ideal for withstanding heavy rainfall
and snow and also acts as a kind of water drain redirecting the rainfall from
your house. Typically, slate is used for this kind of roofing and is known for
its natural strength and durability as well as being extremely waterproof and
fire resistant. All of these factors contribute to pitched roofing being a
particularly wise investment choice and an option that is going to provide you
with much longevity.
Additional space
Pitched
roofs typically have two slopes that rise and point in the middle. The
additional space allow you plenty more room if you have a loft space or are
planning to get one. The additional usable loft space is really convenient for
an additional living space, a study, or a guest room. When planning your
pitched roofing, any pre-planned use of your loft can be taken into account in
the design of the roof to optimise the space you want to create and tailor it
to your requirements.
