A roof: function, design, conservation

Generally, the highest part of a building is completed with a roof called a roof. This part of the building has a prominent aspect from the function, design and conservation things. So these three points of view become people’s consideration when applying it at home.

Starting from the function, the roof works as a cover that protects the living things that live in the given building. It keeps these living things away from many things, such as the consequences of the weather. If people live in a tropical climate, they tend to choose the type of climate that can protect you from sunlight, wind, and water in the rainy season. The chosen material is different in subtropical and cool climate. Therefore, the weather has a great influence when choosing it.

There are some types of roof design that may be an alternative for you when applying such as gabled, hipped, mansard and mansard, also flat and shed. The architecture of these types is the most popular. Viewed from cost efficiency, the gable roof is the most efficient among others. Therefore, design also becomes one of the considerations for people when choosing the type of roofing for their house.

No roof lasts forever even if the installation is perfect. Some elements such as sun, rain, hail and wind can reduce the resistance of the roof, so it must be replaced. Performance is one of the important things that needs to be considered. For example, by painting, you can increase the performance of your roof. The placement of some devices that are usually placed around the roof, such as the pipe, the satellite or the skylight, must also take into account the condition of the roof. Lastly, check the condition of your roof regularly to prevent any damage from breaking through.

The material of a roof offers many options for people to apply a type of roof. Wheat straw, banana leaves, seaweed, aluminum or hay are just a few examples of roofing. Hay material has a special shape that makes it an attractive option.
