Roof Design Trendy

The roof is a cover of the upper house (building) or the object used to cover the top of the house. Thus, the roof can be defined as a structure located at the very top of the building and useful for covering the structures underneath.

The main function of the roof is to protect the house from changes in weather, such as heat, rain, snow, lightning, wind, dust, and so on. The roof also has a protective function to cover the space under it, withstand excessive heat radiation, prevent rain tampias, and reduce wind movement. In its development, the roof also has an important role in affecting the aesthetics of a building.

Good roofing should consider the following requirements:

The construction must be really strong so that it can withstand its own weight and all the loads that hit it

The shape in accordance with the concept of home design that has been planned from the beginning

The selected cover material must be adjusted to the purpose of building the building and resistant to extreme weather

Should design the model takes inspiration from the wealth of local cultivation

The level of slope to pay attention to the type of cover material used

Meanwhile, the material used to cover the roof of the building must be insulating so that it can withstand heat, cold, and sound. This material must also meet the rain water, not water, and do not change shape due to weather change. In addition, this roof covering material is also easy to maintain, not inflammable, light weight, solid position, and durable.

The construction usually used to support the roof is the framework of the horses. Not only to support the roof load, this frame also gives shape to the roof.

In principle, the horses' roof truss is made by connecting the support rods in such a way as to form an upside-down triangle. The need for the construction of these horses varies depending on the weight of the roof and the cover material used. But one thing is the same, every arrangement of these supporting rods must bind each other and form a solid unity so as to cooperate in carrying the burden that hit it without undergoing change.
