From the name of the design itself it follows that the roof will consist of four planes, resting on each wall of the building. Such a roof is quite claimed for the role of the highlight of the house, because with effective roofing material and the correct calculation of the dimensions, really effective buildings are obtained.
House with a slat roof
One-storey house with a four-slope roof can be found today often. This design is good in that it excludes the presence of pediments, and this greatly simplifies the problem. You do not have to spend money on building additional walls, but to provide sufficient rigidity of the entire building. It should be noted that the four- story mansard roof allows you to get one more room without erecting a full-fledged second floor.
The four-deck roof can take three basic forms: a hipped roof, a hip or a half-horned one . We will get acquainted with them below.
- At the same time, a tent option is considered economical and difficult to perform. You save on the length of the beams, as well as the walls. In fact, it's something like a pyramid. If you choose the right angle, even very strong winds and roof sediments will not be scary. At the base of such a pyramid can be either a square or a rectangle. If this is a square structure, then all faces will be exactly the same. When the house is rectangular, the faces are pairwise identical and are located opposite each other.
- One-story house with a four-hipped roof of a hip type look particularly impressive. Now our faces are not simply arranged in pairs, but also have different shapes. Two of them are made in the form of triangles, the other two are trapezoids. Usually such a roof is recommended for those areas where the wind is strong and need increased resistance. At the skates there are attic windows, which makes the appearance of the house presentable. This construction has three types of rafters: canted or diagonal, ordinary and external, they are also called angled.
- A house with a four-tier half-tiled roof will necessarily stand out from among the other buildings with its own appearance. But not only the spectacular appearance made this type of building popular. Due to the features of the structure you get an extra wide area, which you can safely use for both business purposes and the arrangement of another room. The skates will be located quite low, which also allows successfully to resist strong winds and precipitation.
Advantages of a gable roof
So, we got acquainted with the construction options. Now it became clear that a house with such a roof is simply doomed to attention from passers-by because of its spectacular appearance. But the aesthetic component remains in the second place in the construction issues. Let's go through the list of advantages of this type of roof construction:
- the design does not have a high resistance to wind flow, and this is significant when building in regions with strong hurricane winds;
- developers are currently trying to sell a European product of high quality, attractive to the consumer, and just this type of roof is closest to exactly such variants of buildings;
- you save much on materials and labor costs, since the construction does not provide for the extrusion of gables.
However, you will have to be prepared for the fact that the calculation of loads, design and installation are significantly more complicated. The harder the roof, the more knowledge and skills you need when installing it. Therefore, we will have to resort to the help of specialists. But you will save on the construction of the second floor and get an interesting design of the facade of the house and at the same time the area under the room.
