Don't just build a house roof model
Not only meeting aesthetic needs, building a roof model also requires several things, especially considering a number of advantages and disadvantages. So that the function of the roof can be maximized, without disturbing the functions and structures of other buildings. Like the main structure of a house, building or building, the roof design is often striking, and is often one of the elements of evaluation in terms of aesthetics. So not infrequently, people often have (according to taste) the ideal roof shape, without considering several things.
Several factors often make certain roof shapes less effective when used with certain building shapes. On the other hand, choosing the right type of roof will make the house strong, as a comfortable shelter. It's not difficult to find the ideal roof model, especially when we search on search engine facilities. Several types of modern to traditional roofs get several innovations and are often used on millions of buildings around the world. But the question is, is this type of building roof ideal and suitable for your property product? Here are the advantages and disadvantages of 3 popular roof forms that are often used for modern comfortable residential concepts in society.
Flat Roof Model
The need for this type of roof was initially often found in many modern commercial and business buildings. It's just that, the aesthetic form, makes this roof shape starting to be used in designing a private residential or home concept. Not many people immediately like the concept of a flat roof, although in terms of aesthetics, this design is very unique. The big thing to consider not using this type of roof is the installation of sewerage (especially during the rainy season).
The overflow of water must be channeled properly to the ground, so as not to cause puddles which ultimately burden the roof. In a bigger problem, this problem also often makes the roof easily damaged, because the water is not channeled properly.
Fact: Building a flat roof model makes puddles (rain) not necessarily occur. And naturally, the water will drain down, so it doesn't stay on the roof for too long.
The advantage of the flat roof model is the additional space at the top of the house or building. You can use this for various needs, such as making it a garden, a place to relax or other needs. In addition, this consideration can also be done because it makes the shape of the house or building look unique. Especially if it is supported by an ideal building design that is in line with the shape of the roof structure being built. This method also makes the process of shopping for building materials more efficient. The drawback of a flat roof is that precise calculations are needed in building a building structure. In this case, an experienced home construction company will easily fulfill this need effectively and efficiently. Without proper calculations, the roof will become vulnerable to damage and leaks. Especially during high rainfall, water that is not wasted for too long will damage the structure of the roof material in a short time, or in the long term.
Gable Type
Like the flat roof model, basically the saddle type is also a simple design for buildings, such as houses and so on. This model has been adopted for quite a long time in construction science, as evidenced by many colonial houses that use this type of roof. As the name suggests, this roof has a shape similar to a horse's saddle, with two sloping parts, and rising in the middle. At first glance, the roof of this building looks like an open roof that was erected with the inside facing downwards. The choice of this type of roof is generally based on good water drainage, because of its shape with a certain angle of inclination. So there is no risk of water (rain) pooling on the roof which can reduce the service life of the building structure.
Fact: This type of roof has been used since tens, even hundreds of years ago as a modern building structure. With the use of simple natural materials such as straw as a roof covering, to modern materials from clay (tile) as it is now.
As explained above, the advantage of the saddle roof model is the slope structure that makes the overflow of water in the rainy season wasted effectively and efficiently. Not only that, the angle of inclination at the top of the building can also be used as additional space. Such as for warehouses, rooms, or other possible rooms. Without taking advantage of this additional space, the high structure of the building will facilitate air circulation. So that the house is very comfortable when occupied for a long time.
Disadvantages of the saddle roof is that a structure that is too heavy can overload the main part of the building. So that without proper calculations, it is not only less comfortable to live in, but living in the house will be more dangerous, because of the risk of the building collapsing.
