Roofs

Roofs refer to the uppermost covering or envelope of a building or structure that provide protection from environmental elements, e.g. rain, snow and wind. Moreover, roofs may incorporate features like skylights, roof gardens, solar panels, and ventilation systems to enhance functionality and energy efficiency. Roofs play a vital role in the designing process and the functionality of a building, as they not only serve as a protective barrier but also contribute to structural stability. Roof systems come in various forms, materials, and configurations, tailored to the specific needs of the structure and the local conditions. The choice of such a system depends on a range of factors, including the architectural design and the structural requirements. Suitable materials include asphalt shingles, clay or concrete tiles, wooden shakes or shingles, and various types of membrane roofing.
