The Type of Roofs in Environmental Conditions with Different Shape and Suggested Suitable Materials

Abstract:

Roofs from the fifth skin of buildings and define the character of the architecture. Their main function is sometimes to provide protection against the sun and wind, and sometimes to channel, collect and store rain water. Each climate required a different type of roof to its specific need protection of human life. The choice of one type of roof another depends fundamentally on the client brief, on the implications of the environment, on the climatic conditions and on the resources available or current technology. For a roof with certain quality characteristics there may be different technological and budgetary solutions. The roof must be conceived constructively, rationalized and adapted to the variable conditions of its environment. In this paper, we review the different types of roof, the materials used and their auxiliary elements.
