Nobody lives in a building without a roof. It remains an essential part of building construction even as we discuss Modern Roofing in Nigeria.
In addition to defining the overall look of a house, a beautifully-designed roof contributes immensely. The roof shape gives your home or property a unique appearance.
Lloyds Philip provides high-quality modern roofing services using Light Gauge Steel trusses and is poised to serve its ever-growing clients.
Here are popular types of Modern Roofs and Roofing styles in Nigeria made available to property/homeowners, builders, contractors and other stakeholders in the construction industry.
- Pitched Roof: This type of modern roof design is very common in our cities and is easily recognized by its triangular shape. The roof is one side up and the other side down.
A great advantage to this roof type is that it is compatible with all roof materials, particularly the Light Gauge Steel Truss. When the design includes hips and valleys as shown in the picture below, it is advisable to use Light Gauge Steel Trusses during construction to prevent leaks.
Benefits of Pitched Roofs:
- Easily sheds water off the roof
- Allows for more ventilation within the roof structure
- Easy to build or construct
- Hip Roof: This roofing style looks like the pitched roof but the difference is the end of the roof which is hipped; the sides slope downwards towards the wall with a gentle slope. Hip roofs constructed with Light Gauge Steel Trusses are ideal in areas where that are very windy and commonly used in Northern Nigeria.
Benefits of Hip roof:
- It is more resistant to heavy winds
- Provides more space in the living room if pitched higher
- There are different designs of hip roofs which can be combined using LGS to improve the aesthetics of the building
Irrespective of the choice of house roofing design, it is very important to build these roofs with Light Gauge steel truss to enjoy the below advantages:
- Increased roofing height which prevents water leakages into the building
- The ability to allow the water to run off swiftly after rainfall
- Enable objects that fall on the roof to quickly fall off to prevent corrosion on the roof, especially If it is a metallic object
- Enhance the beauty of the house
- Makes the roof easily accessible for purposes such as electrical wiring corrections, etc.
