Roof
It is the external upper covering of a house or
building. It shows the size, shape and the type of
materials that should be used in the roofing
system.

Types of Roofs
There are different types of roofing system that
are commonly used in the building construction.
The following are:
1. Gable Roof has a pitch on two sides but no
pitch on the gable ends. This type of roof is used
extensively on Philippines bahay kubo and raw
houses in subdivision. The pitch or angle of a
gable roof varies from the high pitch roofs found
on chalet A-frame style buildings to the low
pitch roofs found on most ranch homes.
2. Hip roofs are used when eave-line protection
is desired around the entire perimeter of the
building. Hip roofs are very popular in warm
climates. they are commonly used on Regency
and French Provincial homes.
3. Flat roofs are used to create a low silhouette
on modern homes. Slightly heavier rafters are
needed for flat roofs. Built-up asphalt
construction is often used on flat roofs.
4. Shed roofs are higher at one end than the
other. They may be used effectively when two
levels exist where additional light is needed.
5. Overhang is a roof type where the pitch is low
and extends on the side of the building
perpendicular to the rafters direction. It should
provide additional protection from the sun and
rain.
Roof Plan

A roof plan is one showing the outline of the


roof and the major object lines indicating
ridges, valleys, hips, and openings. The roof
plan is not a framing plan, but a plan view
of the roof.
To develop a roof framing plan, a roof must be
stripped of its covering to expose the position of
each structural member and each header. The
roof plan can be used as the basic outline for the
roof framing plan.

line.
Different types of roofing sheets:

1. Corrogated G.I sheet


2. 4-V corrugated sheet
3. Ardex corrugated sheet
4. Kanalelas corrugated sheet.
5. Steel bricks
6. Colorbond custom orb
1. Roof framing plan

There are important elements that must be


shown in the roof framing plan. They are
shown in the form of line symbols, such as:

a. Trusses - a triangulated system of straight


interconnected structural elements
b. Purlins - longitudinal, horizontal, structural
member in a roof
c. Ridge roll line - the horizontal line running
the length of the roof where the two roof planes
meet
d. Ridge cap line
e. Eaves or gutter line
