Pitched roofing refers to roofs with a slope or incline, designed to allow water, snow, and debris to drain off efficiently. Commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings, pitched roofs are constructed at angles typically ranging from 15 to 70 degrees. This design provides several benefits, including enhanced water drainage and increased durability, which is particularly useful in regions with heavy rainfall or snow. According to the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), pitched roofs are more effective at preventing water pooling and leaks compared to flat roofs.
Pitched roofs can be covered with various materials, such as clay tiles, slate, or metal sheets, each offering different advantages in terms of lifespan and upkeep. Slate, for instance, is known to last over 100 years, making it one of the most long-lasting roofing options available. Additionally, the design of pitched roofs supports better ventilation and insulation, helping regulate indoor temperatures. The incline also provides additional space in attics or lofts, which can be used for storage or converted into living areas.
