The Pitched / Sloping Roof.

This is one of the most popular types of roof found on houses built in the USA.
Common types of roofs include: pitched / sloping and flat or terraced roofs.

The pitched / sloping roof, as its name suggests, is formed by the roof space being built on a slope.
A pitched / sloping roof consists of several elements:

• The structure: supporting other elements of the roof.
• Elements of insulation: a layer of material that provides thermal protection.
• The roof screen: additional protection improving the protective qualities of the roof and the life of its components.
• The ventilation of roof space: aeration of the empty space between the elements of the roof.
• The roof covering: material forming the last layer of protection for the roof, visible from the outside.
• The drainage system: enabling rainwater to be discharged into a water recovery system.
• The apertures: windows or skylights in the roof allowing light to penetrate and for ventilation.
