For those who aren’t sure, flashings are the strips around windows that stop the water coming in. This makes it cheaper to build as there is no cladding above the window and the flashings are not as complicated. With a hip roof, the cladding goes to the window head height, which is usually about 2.05mm depending on the roof pitch. However, we do tend to build a lot of homes with the monopitch roof style which has a more contemporary feel. At Fraemohs we can and do build houses with the hip and gable roof design. The cheapest roof design is a roof with just hips, which are the sloping part, while the gable is the triangular bit on the end of the roof.Ī lot of subdivisions require a roof with hips and gables (rather than just a hip roof) so that is the most common form of roof construction. Two of the most common kinds of roof design are a hip and gable roof and a monopitch roof, as illustrated by the designs below:Ībove: Hip and Gable roof ( the ‘Greenwood’) When it comes to roof styles for houses, there are a number of different options.
