Design features of gable roofs

The gable sloping roof is most suitable for building under it attic, having in its lower part the geometry of the rectangle, it contributes to the fact that the area of ​​the room is spacious and comfortable. This type of construction is more difficult to install and requires additional material consumption, but this is compensated by the fact that the volume of the attic is significantly increased in size.

The house with an attic gable roof is slightly more difficult to build than with a one-run roof, but who will give up an extra useful space. It is important only at the design stage to correctly calculate the weight of the roof with the possible load on the construction, so as not to exceed the permissible limits. A simple gable roof is easiest to dismantle in the case of a superstructure, extension or rebuilding a house.
