2 ROOF STYLES Flat Roof Gable Roof Gambrel Roof Hip Roof Mansard Roof

3 FLAT ROOF A flat roof is a type of covering for a building. In contrast to the more sloped form of roof, a flat roof is horizontal or nearly horizontal.

4 GABLE ROOF Gabled roofs are the kind young children typically draw. They have two sloping sides that come together at a ridge, creating end walls with a triangular extension, called a gable, at the top.

5 GAMBREL ROOF Dutch Colonial Often called a barn roof

6 HIP ROOF A hip roof, or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. Thus it is a house with no gables or other vertical sides to the roof.

This type of roof has two slopes on all sides, with a steep lower slope and a flat upper slope A mansard or mansard roof (also called a French roof or curb roof) is a four-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterized by two slopes on each of its sides with the lower slope, punctured by dormer windows, at a steeper angle than the upper

Pediment & Portico in architecture, triangular gable forming the end of the roof slope over a portico (the area, with a roof supported by columns, leading to the entrance of a building); or a similar form used decoratively over a doorway or window.

Fanlight A fanlight is a window, semicircular or semi-elliptical in shape, with glazing bars radiating out like an open fan. It is placed over another window or a doorway, and is sometimes hinged to a transom.
