A roofing is part of any building envelope. It's the covering on the uppermost part of any building or shelter which provides protection from pets and weather, notably rain or snow, but also heat, sunlight and wind. The term also denotes the framing or structure which supports that covering.[1]The characteristics of the roof are based mostly upon the goal of the building which it protects, the available roof materials and the neighborhood traditions of development and wider concepts of architectural design and practice and could also be governed by local or countrywide legislation. In most countries a roof protects against rain primarily. A verandah may be roofed with material that protects against sunlight but admits the other elements. The roof of an garden conservatory protects plants from cold, wind, and rain, but admits light.

In many parts of the planet ceramic tiles have been the predominant roof materials for years and years, if not millennia. Other roofing materials include asphalt, coal tar pitch, EPDM plastic, Hypalon, polyurethane foam, PVC, slate, Teflon fabric, TPO, and hardwood shingles and shakes.
The construction of a roof is determined by its approach to support and the way the underneath space is bridged and whether or not the roof structure is pitched. The pitch is the perspective of which the roof increases from its lowest to highest point. Most US local architecture, except in very dry out regions, has roofs that are sloped, or pitched. Although modern engineering elements such as drainpipes may take away the need for pitch, roofs are pitched for reasons of traditions and appearance. So the pitch is partly dependent after stylistic factors, and to do with practicalities partially.
Some types of roof, for example thatch, require a steep pitch to become durable and waterproof. Other styles of roofing, for example pantiles, are unstable over a steeply pitched roof but provide excellent weather protection at a comparatively low angle. In parts where there is little rainfall, an almost flat roof with hook run-off provides adequate protection against an occasional downpour. Drainpipes also remove the dependence on a sloping roof covering.
A person that specializes in roof structure construction is named a roofer.The durability of any rooftop is a matter of matter because the roof covering is often the least accessible part of your building for purposes of repair and renewal, while its damage or damage can have serious effects.
Because the purpose of a roof covering is to protect people and their possessions from climatic elements, the insulating properties of your roof structure are a account in its composition and the decision of roofing materials.Some roof materials, those of natural fibrous materials especially, such as thatch, have excellent insulating properties. For those that do not, extra insulation is often installed under the exterior part. In developed countries, the majority of dwellings have a ceiling installed under the structural members of the roof. The goal of a roof is to insulate against heating and cold, noise, dirt and grime and frequently from the droppings and lice of parrots who frequently choose roofs as nesting places.
Concrete tiles can be used as insulation. When installed leaving a space between the tiles and the roof covering surface, it can reduce warming caused by sunlight.Forms of insulation are plastic material or felt sheeting, sometimes with a reflective surface, installed directly below the tiles or other material; synthetic foam batting laid above the ceiling and recycled paper products and other such materials that may be inserted or sprayed into roof cavities. So called Cool roofs have become progressively popular, and in some full cases are mandated by local codes. Cool roofs are thought as roofs with both high reflectivity and high thermal emittance.
Poorly insulated and ventilated roofer can suffer from problems like the formation of ice dams throughout the overhanging eaves in cold weather, causing normal water from melted snow on top parts of the roof structure to permeate the roofing material. Ice dams happen when temperature escapes through the uppermost part of the roof, and the snow at those tips melts, refreezing as it drips along the shingles, and collecting in the form of ice at the lower points. This may result in structural harm from stress, like the devastation of drainage and gutter systems.
