Your roof is one of the most important structures of your home because apart from protecting you from outdoor elements, it also accounts for almost 40% of your propertyโ€™s exterior. For this reason, you should make it a point to maintain your roof to ensure that it withstands the test of time. This article lists down some of the most important things that you should know about roofing.

What A Roof is Made of

One of the primary things that you should know about roofing is what your roof is made of. The reason behind this is that metal roofing can be very different from how concrete roofing is designed, and of course, how and what it is made of. Aside from the materials used, you also need to familiarize yourself with the different parts of your roof such as the shingles and trim, as well as the rafters and underlayment. You should also take the time to learn about flashing and drainage.

Roof Design Elements

In parallel to getting to know what your roof is made of, you should also take the time to learn about various roof design elements. These include a gable wall, which are the triangular portions of your home extending from the eaves to the peak of your roof. Ridge, valley, and eaves are some other roof design elements that are worth familiarizing yourself with. In parallel to this, you should also take the time to know about a hip, an abutment, as well as dormers because all these are significant roof design elements.

Roof Ventilation

For a healthy roof system, proper ventilation is essential. The reason behind this is that without adequate airflow, your roof may be susceptible to the growth of mold and mildew. Thus, make sure that the main vent of your roof is in its best condition. You should also install a gap-free layer of insulation. There should also be a vapor barrier under the insulation to prevent moisture from rising to your attic. These are only some of the things that you need to inspect when it comes to your roof ventilation.

Your Location Matters

Finally, the type of roof that you have largely depends on your location. Take some time to observe the properties in your neighborhood or even in your region and you will most likely find that there is a common type of roof used in your area. For instance, if you live in the desert or a tropical region, then your roof will most likely be made of clay or ceramic. On the other hand, if your location is one of those listed as a temperate region, then you most likely have a shingle roof.

When it comes to your roofing, you need to take the time to familiarize yourself with what it is made of. You should also get to know some of the most common design elements as well as how your roof is ventilated. Alongside this, you need to consider that when it comes to your roofing, your location matters. All these are some of the things that you need to get to know about your roof.
