Therefore, the roof is an important element and must be considered.
Types of Roofs on Buildings
There are several types of roofs used in building a building or house, including the following:
Traditional Roof: A traditional roof is a type of roof that characterizes culture. Especially in Indonesia itself, in traditional buildings that are mostly in the tropical zone, the roof is made with a slope that is sufficient to drain rain. It can be said that almost all of these traditional buildings use sloping roofs.
Flat Roof: This type of roof is commonly used in the construction of modern houses. Now the construction of roofs with a flat shape is starting to be widely used, even the flat roof on the top can be used again.
Contextual Roof: Contextual roofs are generally used for buildings with large spans.
Important Things in Building a Roof on a Building
The roof is one of the most important elements of a building. So what are the important things that must be considered in making it?
1. Making a Roof According to Your Wishes Basically, it turns out that the shape of a roof will greatly affect the image and aesthetics of a building. Designing the type of roof that suits what is desired is very important. In addition, the design of the roof also affects the calculation of the cost of materials and installation.
2. Making a Clear Roof Design The next important thing in building a roof is to determine a clear design. The design can determine the shape of the truss, the distance and the need for the truss in installing a lightweight steel roof frame. If you already have a clear design for the roof to be built, it will be easy to calculate the estimated funds that must be spent in the installation process.
For example, when you use a wooden roof frame, you can measure and calculate it, then attach it to the roof frame. However, when using a light steel roof frame, special calculations are needed. This is because the calculations are precise and fit for making the house frame. If there is a miscalculation, the roof frame will not stand properly.
3. Ensuring the Use of Quality Materials The selection of materials is also an important factor in installing roof frames. The materials we choose will also greatly influence the determination of the type of roof you will build. So, the frame can support the roof properly. Choosing a roof made of SNI material is highly recommended for you. This is because the selection of quality materials must also look at the seller's factors.
4. Knowing the Roof Covering Material of the Building The last important thing in building a roof is to consider the covering material that will be used. This must be considered because it can also affect the type of steel frame you will use, especially on the roof of the building. Try not to choose a roof that does not match the frame we use. The roof is the most important element in building a construction project. Therefore, you should not miss some things that must be considered in making it.
