Common Types of Roof
At agivo the most common types of roofing used include pitched, flat and plastic or metal sheets. Below is our guide based on the different types of roofing available. From pitched to guttering, we’ve always got you covered.
Sometimes known as a sloping roof, the pitched roof contains a slight angle which causes the roofing to slope. This approach can be for aesthetic reasons as well as for protection. With a sloping roof, it is easy for excess water to drain away and cause minimal damage.
Flat roofs are different as they are more or less level. However, they still contain a slight angle to help prevent water from pooling. Most commonly found on tower blocks or extensions, a number of materials can be used including lead, felt and fibreglass.
If you are looking for a cost-effective option, then metal and plastic sheets are the best choice out there. This form of roofing is ideal for both commercial and domestic buildings and can often be seen on garages and outbuildings.
