Know your mansards from your gables? Your Colorbond from your terracotta? Learn all about different roof styles and materials here.
The shape of your roof and the materials it’s built from should be chosen carefully, with consideration given to how appropriate they are to the climate and environment in your area.
The right roofing choices will save you money in maintenance and repair costs, lower your heating and cooling bills, and with any luck, also increase your home’s resale value. A poorly designed roof risks being vulnerable to weather, and allowing leaks which can damage your posessions and cause all sorts of structural nightmares.
How your roof looks is also very important – the roof is a very big part of any house, and certain styles will flatter some building types, while others will look completely wrong.
