What is a pitched roof?

A pitched roof is a roof which slopes downwards in one or multiple parts dependents upon the actual design. At a certain angle, there will be a slope from the central ridge.

These types of roofs are visually appealing and have a great look, so it’s also a suitable choice for traditional and modern houses, where there are no financial implications.

Pitched roofs are aesthetically appealing and they add a fantastic look to your home. Pitched roofs are also a suitable home for both traditional and modern houses with smaller financial implications.

The main difference between a pitched roof and a flat roof is that the slope of a flat roof is less than ten degrees which allows adequate drainage of any water in moderate rainfall regions whereas in sloping roofs, it usually varies between forty-five and sixty degrees within the slope of the roof.

Disadvantages of a pitched roof?

There really aren’t many disadvantages of a pitched roof. However, at StormRight, we always want to provide you with the full picture. Here are some possible disadvantages to having a pitched roof system installed:

A pitched roof can put a larger burden on the foundations of the building. This means that there is a greater demand on the foundations of the building, and they require a larger depth of the footing. For this reason, replacing a flat roof with a pitched roof is not always possible and you should contact us for further information if this is the renovation you require.
A pitched roof is not feasible for buildings with more than two levels or more complex plans. This means that pitched roofs are ideal mainly for domestic buildings and not much can be done for larger architecture.
A pitched roof will be more expensive to install and maintain as opposed to a flat roof. However, your investment will payback far more with its longevity and life span as opposed to a flat roof.

Advantages of a pitched roof

Longer life span than a flat roof
Durability
Loft Space
Weather Resistance
Simple Maintenance

The primary benefit of a pitched roof is the long-life span and the simple maintenance. This roof type is well known for lasting far longer than any other roof type such as a flat roof. Once we professionally install the roof, we can guarantee its longevity. Additional to the benefit of this roof’s life span, you can also enjoy the advantages of added loft living space. This additional area can be used as a bedspace, an office or much needed storage space as your family grows. We will ensure that your roof space is installed to the highest quality to ensure that the risk of damp or water getting into your home is minimised.
