 Apartment Roof typesÂ
– Flat Roof
The flat roof is a very common kind of roof used in apartments and other buildings around the world.
This type of roof combines aesthetics with practicality because it keeps water out through its waterproof membrane while making sure to keep things like air vents or solar panels on top as well.
If you have this type of structure already installed at your place, then some precautions will help up take care of and maintain these roofs:
* Never walk over them when they’re wet – always leave plenty of space between yourself and any part where water might accumulate; –
* Inspect the roof regularly for any signs of wear and tear, and have it repaired as soon as possible.
* Make sure that your HVAC unit isn’t blowing directly onto the membrane, or you’ll shorten its lifespan.
– Gable Roof
Gable roofs are a popular type because they’re relatively inexpensive and easy to construct, making them a good choice for apartments.
This style has two slopes on either side of a ridge line, with the ends coming to a point – like an A-frame house.
There are some benefits to this design:
* They’re very wind resistant which is important in areas that experience high winds.
* The steep slope means that rain and snow will quickly run off the roof.
* They’re easy to add insulation to.
However, there are also a few drawbacks:
* They can be difficult and expensive to repair or replace.
* The pointed ends can be dangerous if someone were to fall on them.
– Hip Roof
Hip roofs are similar in style to gable roofs, but they have four slopes instead of two. This makes them more wind resistant and helps with water drainage, making them a good choice for apartments in rainy climates.
There are some benefits to this design:
* They’re very sturdy and can withstand high winds;
* The multiple slopes make it easier for rain and snow to run off;
* They’re a good choice for homes with a lot of square footage.
However, there are also some drawbacks:
* Hip roofs can be more expensive than other types of roofing;
* They’re harder to construct and require more time and labor;
* There’s less room for insulation.
Now you know about all four types of roofing that you can choose from when creating an apartment complex!
