    Roof Styles

    Gable or Gable-ended

    Gable is the triangle formed by a sloping roof. Could have a low or high pitch to it. Pitch determines whether house has second floor or loft.

    Cross Gabled

    Hipped or Hip Roof

    A Hipped or Hip roof has a generally low pitch on all four sides of the house. Note the window jutting out of the roof on the top picture.

    Dutch Hipped

    Similar to a hipped roof, but has vents at the peak of the sides to allow for, duhventilation, decoration, and most importantly added attic space.

    Mansard Roof

    A mansard roof has two slopes on each of the four sides. The lower slope is steeper than the upper slope.

    Dormers

    A dormer is a window which is set vertically on a sloping roof. The dormer has its own roof, which may be flat, arched, or pointed.

    Used to let more light into an upstairs and to create more space to allow for beds etc.

    Shed Roof

    Roof is angled in one direction for snow or rain runoff. This house has a series of different shed roofs. Usually seen in small storage buildings.

    Gambrel

    Has two different angles leading up to a peak. Commonly known as a Barn style roof. Can be combined with other roof styles like Gable or Hipped
