Quality Makes Durable
Understanding diverse roof types, including gable design, hip/half-hip/cross-hip design, flat roof design and others, is crucial when making decisions for your property. Trust Stillwater Roofing to guide you through these considerations, helping you make informed choices for your commercial or industrial building.
FLAT ROOFS
This low-slope roof is commonly used in commercial buildings which allows for rooftop equipment and easy access for maintenance and repairs. They are also considered cost-effective, versatile, affordable and functionally sound. For flat roofs, the recommended materials would be Single-Ply Membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC), Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) and Roof Coatings.
HIP ROOFS
This type of roof slopes on all four sides, making them more stable and wind-resistant than gable roofs. This design also helps with snow and rain runoff, reducing the risk of leaks or pooling. Hip roofs are commonly seen on small commercial buildings, especially in Minnesota. For hip roofs, the recommended materials would be asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and synthetic roofing.
GABLE ROOFS
This type of roof is most common and widely seen on smaller commercial buildings, especially in Minnesota. Their simple, triangular shape with steep pitch allows for excellent water and snow runoff, reducing the risk of leaks or structural damage. They are also cost-effective, easy to build, and provide ample attic or vaulted ceiling space. For gable roofs, the recommended materials would be asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and synthetic roofing.
GAMBREL ROOFS
This type of roof is most commonly seen on barns, storage buildings, and commercial buildings. It's two-slope design on each side - steeper on the bottom and flatter on top - maximizes usable space inside, making room for lofts or extra storage. Gambrel roofs are also cost-effective to build compared to other complex roof styles and provide excellent drainage on the steeper lower slopes. For gambrel roofs, the recommended materials would be asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and synthetic roofing.
