Pitched Roofs are constructed in various designs and shapes offering aesthetically, versatile and pleasing design, whilst protecting the occupiers and contents from the elements. The roof can be created using traditional clay or concrete tiles in different sizes and colours, natural or man-made slates, metal panels, cedar or bitumen shingles, polycarbonate or glass and can incorporate windows and ventilation. The roof will contain insulation to retain insulation to retain heat within the building, is good at directing water from the surface which can be used for harvesting water for other uses and can incorporate sustainable technologies such as solar voltaic, solar thermal or photovoltaic technology. Installed fittings assist ventilation and acoustics. A well designed and constructed pitched roof provides a long lifespan and are durable and weather resistant. The internal accommodation will be more efficiently insulated and will not suffer from the extremes of temperature that can be associated with other forms of roofing.
Pitched roofs offer versatile, aesthetically pleasing, cost effective, long term accommodation to residents and can be used for a garden roof.
