Roof with attic

When planning the future dwelling, special attention is paid to the roof - its shape and dimensions. One of the best options are roofs of houses with an attic, which enable to equip additional living spaces in the building and increase the space.

Types of roofs of houses with an attic

The attic can be equipped with different roof structures, they differ in the number of ramps and hips.

The single-pitched roof is the simplest in performance. The inclined plane is attached to the walls of the building, which have different heights.

A gable roof is a more common option. Two high parts of it rest on the walls of the building and are connected by a skate; for this design, rather long boards are needed. On the gables you can equip one or two windows for the attic. To equip the attic space inside the structure, an arched truss system is arranged.

The attic with a broken roof consists of two slopes, which have a fracture. This is a complicated version of a gable roof. The design allows you to make the attic room even wider, more area is obtained for the installation of windows.

Another version of the roof of the house with an attic - a hip . It is distinguished by the presence of triangular rays (hips) instead of pediments. The windows are installed in the hips. Such a variant of the roof is aesthetically attractive and popular with the erection of mansions, terraces, canopies.

In the design projects there are combined roofs that can connect all the above options, as well as roofs in the form of a dome, a cone, a pyramid. The different height of the walls makes it possible to equip open and closed balconies, verandas. This is a rather complex structure plan, a similar roof will have a non-standard appearance.

Roofs of houses with an attic are a beautiful element of the design of the building. They allow rational use of the attic space and decorate the architectural style of the mansion.
