<strong>Metal</strong> Roof <strong>Types</strong><br />
So you decided to upgrade your roof from traditional asphalt to premium<br />
metal roofing system. Money is not an object, you found a reliable metal<br />
roofing company and therefore the only thing that comes up to your<br />
mind is the style of the roof. Unfortunately, you don’t have an idea the<br />
kind of roof type you want for your home. In addition, as soon as you<br />
search online, you are bombarded with lots of roof type which somehow<br />
confusing.<br />
Below are the top 11 types of a metal roofing system.<br />
Flat<br />
Do not be fooled by the name it implies, in fact, it is not really 100% flat<br />
but rather the style is a slow-sloped roof that appears flat to the naked<br />
eyes. A truly flat roof can lead problems to the roofing system such as<br />
rainwater pooling and create stagnant spot perfect for mosquitos and<br />
other bacteria.<br />
Gable<br />
Probably the most conventional type of roofing. The word gable refers to<br />
the word triangle formed when two pitched areas of your roof meet. The<br />
installation is a little less complicated compared with other types of the<br />
roofing system
Jerkin Head<br />
It somehow looks like gable with a little bit of hipped. It is typically intended<br />
for handling strong winds. The jerking head has been used in many<br />
conventional homes and still effective roofing up to these days.<br />
Salt Box<br />
This design was popularized from New England. It is designed to utilize<br />
the rainwater to disperse in two stories houses. It extends almost to the<br />
ground and gets rid of the rainwater. However, tall people have some<br />
issues with this kind of roofing design.<br />
Cat Slide<br />
This type of roofing is similar to the saltbox except that it is also used as<br />
an additional portion of the roofing system just like the dormer. It extends<br />
beyond the eaves which can be used for entrance or patios.<br />
Butterfly<br />
This could be the most unconventional type of metal roofing types. It is a<br />
V-shaped roof constructed with angled up on the outside. It allows larger<br />
windows to be used. This allows the home to have a natural light.<br />
