What Is a Pitched Roof?
When picturing a classic American residence, you might envision a roof covered with asphalt shingles. You might also imagine a peaked structure sloping downward on both sides. And without even realizing it, you’ve described a pitched roof, a popular style seen across the world.
Featuring a slope or angle, usually exceeding 10 degrees, the term “pitch” refers to the steepness of that slope. Among the most favored sloped ceiling designs are Gable, Hip, Gambrel, and Mansard styles.
Its ergonomic design provides several practical benefits, such as:
- Effective Water Drainage
- Increased Durability
- Better Ventilation and Insulation
- Timeless Curb Appeal
In regions with extreme weather conditions like Texas, pitched ceilings provide an excellent balance of durability and protection. However, construction decisions involve more than just aesthetics. You must also consider your home’s design, building code, location, budget, and the local climate.
