Over the centuries, people involved in the construction of housing, were able to invent many types of roofing. From a simple flat structure, they gradually moved to sloping, simple and broken roofs to speed up the drainage of water and increase the space in attics. In the European space, the most common is the hip and half-hip design, which makes it very easy to turn the attic into living rooms. In this review, we will touch on the design features of semi-fine roof pitches, which look quite interesting from the side and have a lot of advantages.
Types of half-tiled roof
- Dutch gable roof half-hail roof . The hip is triangular in this construction and is located at the top of the house, it is small and cut more than half. Below her there is a closed gable in the form of a right trapezoid, on which it is convenient to equip one or several windows of any size, balconies or loggias . This type of rafter system is excellent for mansards, the ceilings here have bevels only in two points.
- Semi-dwarf Danish roof type . Here the construction has a slightly different form - the vertical front is on top, and below is an impressive ramp along the square. In this case, the edged trapezoidal hip is much larger than the triangle in the Dutch version, so this type of roof is often and quite deservedly called a four-pitch semi-valley roof. To equip a full-fledged mansard, it fits less. The attic space here is not very comfortable, the bevels are twice as large, so this design is less common now. The semi-high-pitched four-slope roof makes it easy to install beautiful triangular dormer windows on top and has an interesting design.
What influences the choice of the type of half-tiered mansard roof?
First of all, attention should be paid to the climate in your area and how you plan to use the attic space. If you want to build a living room on top, this will greatly affect the angle of the skates. The roof construction should allow maximizing the size of the future room. In this case, the upper slopes are as flat as possible, and the lower slopes are practically vertical. Also pay attention to how much precipitation you have in winter. When large snows should be equipped with small steep overhangs. In the case when heavy snowfalls are rare, the slope for the ramp is small, but the size of the overhang is slightly increased.
Some of the shortcomings of the half-galled roof
Mostly all the complex moments arise at the time of the construction of houses with a half-tiled roof. The rafter system here consists of a variety of different intermediate supports, stops, struts, ribs and other important details. Accordingly, the increase in the number of elements strongly affects the estimate. You, in comparison with the gable roof, will take more money to buy boards, timber and roofing material
la. The work on the arrangement of such a structure is complicated and requires some experience, both in calculations and during installation.Advantages of the semi-valley design
The number of skates in our country has increased, which means that the resistance to strong winds also increased. In addition, the semi-royal roof on a single-storey or multi-storey house will be much better able to protect the construction from rain and snow. Also note that it gives an opportunity to significantly increase the attic space, which it is much easier for owners to convert to warm and comfortable bedrooms, offices, children's rooms or studios. Finally, it should be mentioned that all kinds of half-tiered roofs are more original in appearance than the usual or broken gable construction. Of course, its construction attracts additional expenses, but they subsequently pay off many times from all points of view.
