hip roof with two/three slopes


Explanation:
Ето и видовете покриви:
Gable Roof:
Gable roof designs are one of the more simple styles when it comes to roofs. The gable roof style looks like an inverted/upside down V. Gable roofs are not ideal for areas with high wind because they easily can catch the wind much like a sail would.

Flat Roof:
Flat roofs are common especially with commercial buildings. Flat roofs are definitely the most simple roof to build because they have little to no pitch. The most common types of roofing systems used with flat roofs are rubber roofing systems.

Hip Roof:
Hip roofs are a common residential style roof. This type of roof is more difficult to construct when compared to flat roofs and gable roofs because they have a more complicated truss and rafter structure. A hip roof style roof has four sloping sides with zero vertical roof lines/walls. Hip roofs can be both square and rectangular.

Gambrel Roof:
The best way to describe a gambrel roof is by saying barn roof. The gambrel style roof is most commonly used on barns. However, it is also used in residential construction. This type of roof has the benefit of providing a good amount of space in the attic. In fact, it provides so much extra space that it is often turned into bedrooms or other living areas.

Dutch Hip Roof:
The dutch hip roof is basically a hip roof with a small gable at either end. The gables can be used as ventilation.

Shed Roof:
A shed roof is basically a flat roof but has more pitch. It is frequently used for additions on homes or other roof styles.
Mansard Roof:
The mansard roof is a french design and is more difficult to construct than the hip or gable roof.
Butterfly Roof:
The butterfly roof is not a roof style that is widely used.The style provides plenty of light and ventilation but is not the effective when it comes to water drainage.

Winged Gable Roof:
The winged gable roof varies slightly from the tradition gable roof. It varies by extended outwards from the peak of the roof.
A-Frame Roof:
This type of roof is very popular for churches, cottages, homes, and other structures. The roof acts as both the roof and the walls for a structure.

Folded Plate Roof:
The folded plate roof has limited use in single family homes. It looks like a series of small gable roofs placed side by side of each other.
