Types of roofing materials for different types of roofs. All types of roofs of private houses and their features, the choice of material for roofing, photo projects Types of roofing of houses and cottages

When we talk about "types of roofs" and "types of roofs of houses", we do not always clearly understand the difference between these two concepts. Therefore, before talking about what roofs are, let's find out the differences in the concepts of "roof" and "roof".

The roof (in the traditional sense) is a part of the building structure, which provides protection from all types of precipitation, retains heat or protects against overheating. That is, this is the entire upper structure of the structure. For a modern stone building with a flat design, these are floor slabs, heat and waterproofing. Exit, fences, ventilation ducts and their protection, antenna attachment elements, funnels for storm drains are also roof elements. There is no consensus regarding the ownership of the hatch with a lock, which is hung by the ZhES so that they do not climb on the roof. For a house with an inclined (pitched) structure, this concept includes a load-bearing rafter system or farms, insulation, hydro and wind insulation, pipes, weathercocks and roofing.

In fact, from the point of view of Soviet building science, the roof is a pre-revolutionary and illiterate concept, and only the progressive term “covering” should be used. But in life, even professional designers and builders rarely use it. Perhaps due to the possibility of a dual interpretation. In part, the definition of “covering” has taken root in relation to structures with a supporting reinforced concrete or metal base, mainly flat ones. And to call the upper part of St. Basil's Cathedral or the roof of a village hut a “covering” would never occur to any architect, even though they were taught “correctly”.

The roof is only a shell that protects the coating from atmospheric influences. The roof does not perform load-bearing functions. That is, floor slabs, truss system, beams, insulation do not apply to the roof. Often, it includes a load-bearing roof preparation: lathing, flooring, screed. The material laid on the prepared surface: Soviet roofing material and slate, folk Russian-French ondulin, fabulous German tiles and New Russian copper are called roofing.

Flat and pitched designs

Roofs are flat and pitched. In accordance with SNiP, roofs with a slope of up to 12 ° are flat, with a large slope - pitched. On the flat roofs ah, the slope is arranged for the removal of precipitation, 1.5-3 ° is enough.

The flat roof provides a lot of room for imagination in terms of design.

A pitched roof can be very original look

Attic and non-attic roofs

As the name implies, an attic roof has an attic, a non-attic one does not. The Russian hut, and indeed most types of traditional dwellings of all countries and peoples, have a ventilated attic. With the exception of mobile housing: yurts, tents, wigwams. It's hard to do there. Also, there are no attics among the tribes living in the equatorial jungle, they do not need them. Attics (technical floors) are in modern multi-storey residential buildings. Therefore, if the roof leaks, the tenants will not know about it immediately.

Atticless (synonymous - combined) coatings can be pitched (mansard) and flat. We are familiar with flat combined structures from panel "Khrushchev". The attic device allows you to use the attic as a full-fledged living space. Non-attic and mansard roofs require good thermal insulation of the upper floor. The roof of a one-story building can also be combined.

Types of flat coverings

In terms of layout, flat roofs are quite similar, differing mainly in design. According to the mutual arrangement of the layers of insulation and waterproofing, in addition to the usual type, inversion roofs are also distinguished, in this case, a hygroscopic (waterproof) insulation is located above the waterproofing layer. As load-bearing structures in flat roofs, prefabricated or monolithic reinforced concrete, metal profiles with metal beams can be used, wooden beams with solid flooring.

Flat roof roof structure reinforced concrete slab coating is multilayer

The area of ​​flat roofs can be used by laying a covering that can be walked on: ceramic or paving slabs, boardwalk, or arranging a lawn on the roof.

In New York, a program has been adopted to turn the roofs of public buildings into gardens and lawns.

In fact, arranging a lawn on the roof of a house is not as difficult as you might think. Perhaps the only thing that is relatively expensive is a waterproofing polymer membrane. Everything else is quite simple, and grass care is standard: it needs to be mowed and watered in a drought. A layer of earth additionally protects the premises from cold in winter and from overheating in summer.

The design of the lawn on the roof is quite simple. It is necessary to use reliable waterproofing - a roofing polymer membrane

Pitched construction details

Before talking about what roof shapes are, let's define the main details of pitched roofs and terms. Main elements: ridge, inclined rib, valley (groove). Overhangs are divided into cornice (lower) and gable (end or gable). For most types of roofing, in addition to the base material, there are separate additional elements for protecting and decorating roof details.

The main elements of pitched roofs are standard.

Consider what are the roofs of houses, depending on the configuration. The forms of pitched roofs are very diverse. More often, the most simple in design and rational single-pitched, gable and hip types and roof structures are used.

The first eight types shown in the illustration are available to a private developer of average income. The rest are quite complex and expensive to implement.

Consider the individual types of roofs and their properties in more detail.

Shed cover

A roof with one slope is as simple as possible structurally, has a minimum number of parts. There is no ridge, for non-ventilated roofing (eg flexible tiles, seam roofing) there is no need for special ventilation elements. It is enough to provide a ventilation layer above the insulation, and ventilation holes can be placed in the filing. A shed roof does not have valleys, ribs and ridges, which are most exposed to atmospheric influences. The maximum wear of roofing in cold climates occurs in the valley, as snow and ice lie there longer. A simple roof with a slope in one direction is exposed to uniform rainfall, ultraviolet radiation and wind. The snow load is also distributed evenly. Other things being equal shed roof will last a little longer. And it will cost less: the truss system is simpler, the minimum number of not always cheap additional elements.

Russian project typical house with a shed roof. A high slope with living rooms should be oriented to the sunny side

Shed roofs are quite popular in developed countries. More often they are used for inexpensive, or, conversely, prestigious housing. For a house with an attic, one slope allows you to rationally organize the layout, bringing living quarters under a high slope, and stairs, bathrooms, and wardrobes under a low slope. In a premium-class home, such a roof makes it possible to create a magnificent interior.

To build this country house applied simple materials: wood, galvanized metal profile and a lot of glass. Large roof overhangs protect the walls from precipitation, and the premises from overheating. Athermal stained glass windows fill the house with light, open up the landscape and protect people from the cold

The roof with one barrel-shaped slope looks quite interesting.

Gable design

The most common form in the world. A gable (gable) roof is traditional in almost all countries where at least some precipitation occurs. It is not much more difficult to build a supporting structure for two slopes than for one. It is very durable, especially if it is possible to build a closed truss system using a puff.

The tightening (2) tightens the rafter legs (1). From the closed triangular contour, only the vertical load is transferred to the Mauerlat (3) and the wall.

For large spans, additional supports must be used.

The gable roof is simple in execution, economical in materials, it is not difficult to build it yourself. Gables serve as a better place than slopes for placing windows; it is easy to equip an attic.

The gable roof fits perfectly into the design frame house, allows you to rationally use the space of the upper floor

The slopes do not have to have the same slope; the shape of the roof may be asymmetrical. The slope of the roof is determined mainly by the layout of the second floor.

The peaked roofs of the half-timbered houses traditionally concealed attics, where the inhabitants stored part of the supplies. In this reconstructed house, the attic is adapted for living quarters.

The Swiss chalet has a gable roof with a slight slope.

Minimum slope and open space the upper floor create a wonderful, spacious interior

A gable roof can have many options. With a house plan more complex than a simple rectangle, more complex roof shapes are inevitable.

Gable roof with additional gable. With a stretch, it can be called multi-forceps

A gable (as, indeed, a shed) roof is perfect for landscaping.

Green roof slope must not exceed 25°

hip view

A hipped or hipped roof is more complicated than a gable roof. Both the rafter system and the roofing will cost more. But you do not have to build masonry gables. With an inexpensive roofing (asbestos slate, ondulin), a hip roof, taking into account the absence of gables, will cost less than a gable roof. At more expensive - hardly. Of the positive properties of the hip structure, one can name the optimal aerodynamic resistance of such a structure, which in general can increase its service life (slightly). The slopes on all sides of the house allow you to make large canopies around the perimeter of the entire structure, providing the walls the best protection from precipitation. But in the organization of the attic space, the hipped roof loses.

Simple four-pitched attic roof

There are varieties of hip roofs: semi-hip (an intermediate type of roof between a gable and hip), hip with a visor, or their varieties.

The main part of the roof of a rather complex shape is half-hip. On the right, a bay window with a multi-pitched roof is attached, a pediment is arranged.

Windows in hip roof have to be built into the slopes, into the roofing. This complicates their construction and operation and is often more expensive than placing a window in a pediment.

Skylights of this type are called "bull's eye"

Multi-slope variety

A hipped roof is called a hipped roof. But if the house does not have four outer corners, but more, there will also be more slopes. A roof with more than four slopes is called a multi-pitched roof.

Multi-pitched roof is difficult to install

A hipped roof is called a hipped roof, all the faces (slopes) and edges of which converge at one upper point. Such a roof does not have a horizontal ridge.

Shed roof. It contains three types skylights

Mansard construction

Mansard roofs are called roofs of various shapes and types, which are united by one common feature: the shape of the slope is broken in order to increase the height of the attic rooms. Thus, it is possible to avoid the installation of sloping ceilings, to arrange full-fledged rooms at the top. The broken contour of the rafters can be used for any type of roof: gable, hip, semi-hip and so on.

The truss construction of a gable mansard roof was assembled.

The design of the mansard roof allows you to connect the upper and lower beams (puff), racks, rafters into a single truss, which provides it with extreme strength and allows you to slightly reduce the cross section of the frame elements.

The load from the mansard roof truss is transferred vertically

Mounting the load-bearing structures of mansard roofs is more difficult than for prototypes with a straight slope. Slightly larger roof area. Accordingly, the cost is higher. However, these costs are paid off by increasing the area of ​​\u200b\u200bnormal height by attic floor.

Roofs of complex shape

All kinds of domed, conical and closed roofs are complex in execution and were invented by architects to decorate important public buildings. After the period of “crimson jackets” and “locks on the ruble”, complex roofs in the architecture of individual residential buildings are not common.

Residential building with a complex domed roof

Sometimes complex roofs are made up of known elements and are "hybrids" of different types.

This roof combines the features of a gable, hip, semi-hip, pyramidal and conical roofs.

But people tend to decorate their home, make it unusual. Sometimes there are "hybrid" types of roofs, which are difficult to unambiguously define.

The roof of this "dugout" would have been designed for sledding in winter, if palm trees were not reflected in the windows. And what type is it?

The choice of roofing material for a pitched roof

Types of roofing are determined by the material of the roofing. The roof can be tiled, metal, shingled, copper and so on. The choice of roofing is primarily determined by the financial capabilities of the developer, the aesthetic tastes of his wife and himself, and secondly by the shape of the roof and its slope. Roofs of curved shapes are covered with small-piece or flexible coatings, sheet materials are more suitable for simple shed and gable roofs. In the presence of fractures (inclined ribs, valleys), cutting sheets is less rational.

The table shows the minimum roof slopes for different types of roofing.

for roofs simple forms You can use any roofing materials without restrictions. Roofs of complex curvilinear shape can only be decorated with small-piece (natural tiles, slate slate, shingles, shingles), flexible (bituminous tiles) coating. A roof made of galvanized steel, copper, steel with a titanium-zinc coating is also suitable, provided that the elements are individually cut and the fold is made on site.

So, we found out what types of roofs are. What to choose for yourself? First of all, the roof must fit the budget. The more complex the form, the more money you have to spend. FROM gable roof any builder can do it. In Germany, there are 80 percent of such roofs. And why are we worse? If you have the funds, you can think of something more original, but simple things can be done beautifully.

What should be good roof? To understand this, you need to figure out what requirements it must meet, and there are many of them: the roof must be reliable, durable and, of course, beautiful. In this material from the editors of Housechief, we will figure out how to choose the right roofing materials. Types, prices for the most popular coatings and installation tips - it's all here and now.

Sheet types of roofing and their characteristics

The choice of roofing depends on many factors: the geometry of the roof, the weather conditions of the region and your budget. There are coatings that are designed for and materials that are best used only on.

Therefore, when choosing a material, you need to study all the conditions that await it during operation. In addition, it is necessary to explore all possible options and choose the one that suits you. And roofing materials have a wide range, and are piece, seam, sheet, or mastic.


Let's start with sheets roofing materials.

Steel decking and metal tiles

A coating that looks so much like a tile, but at the same time has all the advantages of metal, is now one of the most popular.

The only negative of this coating, as, indeed, of all its metal counterparts, is drum noise during rain. Using such a coating, it is necessary to provide for the roofs and ceilings of the upper floor.


Such a coating is used even for slopes with a minimum slope of 5º. This type of roofing copes with waterproofing where other materials fail. The price of the material is from 250 rubles per 1 m².

roll roofing

Membrane coating

Roof membranes are made of polymeric materials that are not subject to decay. Mostly PVC. They are fastened with cold mastic, and the panels are welded together with a building hair dryer.


Such a coating can be used to insulate roofs with a complex configuration and a slight slope. The price of a meter of an EPDM membrane is from 500 rubles.

Self-leveling mastic roofing

If we consider the cost of a self-leveling roof, it turns out that it is the cheapest of the existing types. It is even cheaper than roll materials. And as a result, you get a monolithic and completely sealed coating, without any seams and joints.


For greater reliability, mastic roofing is combined with rolled roofing, which creates a multilayer durable coating. Such a coating can be reinforced with fiberglass or fiberglass.

The cost of mastic coating, excluding wages, is about 180 rubles per 1 m².

How to choose the most suitable material? Consider two decisive factors: the amount you are willing to spend on materials and the specifics of the roof. For complex geometry or a slight slope, it is preferable to use a soft roofing material. If you set yourself the goal of saving money, pay attention to the galvanized metal profile, roll or bulk type. If you want to do it for centuries and can afford it, you should take ceramic tiles and slate.

And what type of roof do you consider the most reliable and durable? Write in the comments! In conclusion, a small video review of the types of roofing.

Any roof, no matter whether residential a private house, cottage or utility building, needs right choice and roof installation. It depends on how the roof will endure the negative effects of natural factors, as well as its service life. That is why it is so important to choose high-quality and suitable roofing materials for a particular building, the types and prices of which are presented in this article.

It is important to correctly determine the type of roofing material required.

Roofing materials for the roof: types and prices from various global and domestic manufacturers

There are a lot of options for roofing materials that differ in purpose and properties in operation. Some are the best option to cover the roof of a dwelling, the latter are suitable exclusively for household facilities.

Metal roof tiles: types, options, scope

This material is one of the most popular among modern builders of roofing materials for the roof (types and prices are presented below), and this is no coincidence, because in addition to excellent operational properties he has a handsome appearance.

It is made of steel sheets of different thickness, treated with a special coating that prevents dents, scratches and other deformations from small debris and stones. Corrosion can occur as a result of damage to the varnish layer, which will significantly reduce the life of your roof.


In addition to the standard galvanized steel sheet, other metals can also serve as the basis for the metal tile, which will be somewhat different:

  • Aluminum tiles have a number of advantages, which include factors such as resistance to corrosion and lightness. The disadvantages of this solution is the relatively high cost, and a limited range of colors.


  • Copper as a roofing material, it exhibits such properties as durability and reliability, and in addition, it is a truly sophisticated solution. As with any other copper surface, a greenish coating will appear on such a roof over time, protecting the metal from damage in a similar way to polymer coatings.

There are a number of different design solutions in the field of metal roofs, each of which has its own characteristics:

  • Roofing is very popular among world manufacturers. Monterrey , shaped like an ordinary clay tile.


  • Profile Cascade in its shape it resembles a chocolate bar, and is great for covering complex-shaped roofs. This solution is optimal for those who want a strict, concise, classic roof.
  • Profile Joker similar to a ceramic coating and has smooth waves, and is also considered one of the basic, traditional roofing options.
  • Profile Banga was introduced in construction quite recently, but has already managed to win fans thanks to the non-standard form of a high wave, thanks to which a three-dimensional image is created.

  • Andalusia , like the previous version, appeared on the market not so long ago, however, it has established itself as a high-quality tile, surpassing even Monterrey in fastening.

  • Shanghai , brought to Russia by Chinese workers, has a complex geometric shape.

The corrugated board is made from the same material as the metal tile, but it is used mainly for household and industrial purposes, for example, to cover sheds or shops. Thanks to the technology of its manufacture, such a material with correct installation can last up to 50 years.

Benefits of using corrugated board:

  • resistance to corrosion, adverse natural influences and mechanical deformation;
  • long service life;
  • ease of installation due to the convenient shape and lightness of the design.

Attention! Decking, like metal tiles, has high level noise, for which reason the roof needs additional soundproofing.

Soft roof for the roof: types

There are a number of coatings related to, which include materials such as mastic, polymer membrane, various roll materials.All of them have the following positive properties:

  • immunity to the negative influence of weather conditions, various kinds of deformations;
  • simple installation that does not require special skills and equipment.
  • Complete fire safety, soundproofing;
  • long service life.

Roof coverage is a serious issue that any developer faces. Given the variety of materials in today's construction market, it's easy to get confused when choosing. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to distinguish between the types of roofing roofs and navigate their features.

Roofing for the roof - one of the types

Roofing material is a kind of protective shell of the roof from atmospheric influences.

Modern roofing is reliable and durable, and can be made from the most different materials: from ordinary wood to trendy polymers.

Existing types of roofing can be divided into 5 main types:

  • film;
  • mastic;
  • sheet;
  • roll;
  • piece.

Film (membrane) roofing it is used for the installation of public and industrial buildings with solid concrete bases and slight slopes. The advantage of such a roof is the ease of installation. Laying the film is possible even on the old roof covering.

mastic roofing applied to the base without using roll coatings. This material consists of viscous oligomeric substances, upon solidification of which a monolithic film is formed.

The mastic is ideal for working with bitumen, concrete and metal. The advantages of mastic roofing are resistance to corrosion, oxidation, low and high temperatures. The material is light and elastic.

Sheet roofing, in turn, is divided by type of material:

  • slate, including artificial;
  • Cink Steel;
  • aluminum;
  • cardboard-bitumen sheet;
  • metal tile.

The main plus of sheet roofing materials is durability, a variety of colors and shapes.

Roll roofing includes bitumen and bitumen-polymer materials. They are mounted in two layers, fusing on a concrete or metal base, or glued with mastic.

Roll roofing provides resistance to frost, high temperatures and decay.

Piece roofing materials include:

  • tiles - concrete, metal, ceramic;
  • slate;
  • tree - tes, shingles, shingles.

Appearance of ceramic tiles - photo of a roof with this type of roof

Ceramic tiles- the most popular material. It can be used for more than a hundred years, is UV resistant and perfectly absorbs noise.

Types of roofs differ in the material of manufacture, physical properties and purpose.

Soft roof

The most common roof waterproofing method today is soft roof. It is durable, attractive and can be used for different types of buildings. Fiberglass is used as the basis for such a coating.

Soft roof is divided into several types:

Tiles (bituminous tiles). This material is very similar to natural tiles. However, it is flexible, which makes it easy to install such a roof. Advantages of a soft tiled roof:

  • resistance to corrosion and decay;
  • low thermal conductivity;
  • tightness;
  • the ability to use on complex roofs;
  • large selection of patterns and colors.

PVC membranes. Membrane soft roof - these are sheets a meter and a half wide, laid on a double-sided adhesive material. The advantages of this coverage:

  • strength;
  • resistance to frost, atmospheric influences;
  • vapor permeability.

Rolls. Soft roll roof- this is a carpet of many layers: roofing material, roofing felt, glassine and modern materials. Mounted by gluing to the base using burners. Roll roofing advantages:

  • water resistance;
  • frost resistance;
  • low cost;
  • ease of installation.

metal roof

The basis of a metal roof is usually made up of sheet materials that can last up to a hundred years.

Flat sheets. Such a roof is made of galvanized and non-galvanized (black) steel. Advantages of flat sheet metal roofing:

  • light weight;
  • the ability to mount a configuration of any complexity;
  • good water flow due to smoothness;
  • resistance to fire;
  • ease of reconstruction;

Profiled sheet is the most popular roofing material in Russia

profiled sheets. Most often it is a corrugated sheet of galvanized steel and aluminum (aluminum slate). The advantages of this coverage:

  • ease of material and installation;
  • resistance to frost and corrosion.

Metal tile. This roof is a corrugated profiled sheets under natural tiles. Among the advantages of this roof:

  • beautiful appearance;
  • ease;
  • corrosion resistance.

flat roof

A flat type roof is a flooring of layers of vapor, heat and waterproofing, gravel and an outer layer - for example, paving slabs. This coating is installed on flat slopes.

The basis for a flat roof can be wood, metal, concrete, insulation and other coatings.

Flat roof can be:

  1. Unexploited. The cheapest type due to non-susceptibility to stress.
  2. Operated. The most popular type. On such roofs you can install cafes, parking lots and more.
  3. Traditional. Such a roof is laid on a heat-insulating layer.
  4. Inversion. A rather complicated roof in installation and reconstruction: the insulation is mounted on a waterproofing layer, and geotextiles and drainage protect the insulation from external influences. Then paving slabs are laid.

Roll roofing

This multi-layer, durable coating has long been popular. Such a roof is divided into several types:

Polymer-bitumen. It consists of polypropylene and styrene-butadiene-styrene. The pluses include:

  • resistance to ultraviolet and chemistry;
  • service life up to 20 years.

Seam. The composition of such a roof is galvanized metal. From the pros:

  • 100% tight;
  • the possibility of mounting on the roof of any shape;
  • silent installation.

Polymer. It is based on rubber and petroleum resins. Advantages:

  • service life of more than 20 years;
  • possibility of mounting on steep slopes.

bituminous. Made from oxidized bitumen.

Bituminous roofing is suitable for roofs with a slope of less than 250, subject to mandatory dismantling every 6 years.

Flexible tiles. This coating is a flat sheet based on fiberglass. Pros:

  • service life of more than 50 years;
  • variety of shapes and colors.

Roofing for a pitched roof

For pitched roofs, all types of roofing are used: metal sheets, corrugated boards, almost all types of tiles.

Photo of a roof with cement-sand tiles - the most durable tiles in existence

The best roofs for a pitched roof are:

  • ondulin - easy to install;
  • shingles - cheap and durable material;
  • cement-sand tiles - the leader in terms of service life and reliability;
  • metal tile - a material with several types of shapes and dozens of colors.

Roofing for a flat roof

Roofing materials used for flat roofs are distinguished by reliability, ease of installation and maintenance, incombustibility and other qualities. The components of such a roof depend on its type:

  • traditional (soft) consists of a carrier plate, heat and vapor barrier (usually mineral wool), a waterproofing layer made of bitumen-containing materials;
  • operated has a rigid base (for example, concrete screed or corrugated board) and high-strength insulation.
