Options Roof Pitch
The angle of a steel building's roof is
determined by roof pitch. Roof pitch indicates the rise vertically for
every 12 inches of travel horizontally. Our system allows you to
choose up to a 6:12 pitch. There are many considerations with both
higher and lower roof pitches. Higher pitched roofs may add to the
cost of the building, but can add performance to a building in a heavy
snow region. Additionally, you can take advantage of extra space
above. High-pitched roofs are less likely to leak and can add style to
your building. Low-pitched roofs
require less material and therefore cost less. Also it is easier to
heat and cool a building with a low-pitched roof. One major advantage
of a low-pitched roof is expandability. If you ever add-on to your
building you will be able to add more space while keeping the loss of
headroom to a minimum. Roof
Extensions and Overhangs
Extensions can improve the appearance of a building but will cost
more. Roof extensions add "curb-appeal" to some buildings, but will
take more time to complete the erection of the building because of the
amount of extra covering trim. Extensions can also help a building
merge in better in an environment of conventionally constructed
buildings in commercial areas. An overhang offers you some protection
from the rain and shade from the sun. These options can be important
when you receive many visitors to your building, by offering shelter
from the elements.\ We offer two
types of roof extensions: (1) Gable Extensions for end walls (2) Eave
Extensions for sidewalls. Using our system, you can easily and quickly
design and price buildings with overhangs up to 5' on any or all of
the walls. When in the Building Accessories section select Roof
Extensions.
