Hip Roof
If you’re designing a home and looking to a frame your roof, you can’t go wrong with a hip roof. With slopes on all four sides, the equal-length sides come together to form a ridge in the middle. They’re an especially sustainable method of roofing that excel under tough conditions, including high-speed winds and snowy areas. The convenient slanting of the roof allows snow to easily slide off without risking standing water build-up. Comparable in style and safety to the slightly more popular gable roof, a hip roof offers extra living space and a cost-effective alternative to other models of roofing.
Benefits of a hip roof
You want a roof that lasts, but you also want one that gives your home a comforting, stylish look. Hip roofs offer the best of both worlds; it offers several features that are attractive to homeowners, including:
- Angled sides mitigate chances of standing water harming your roof
- Exceptional snow removal, with sloped angles fostering snow run-off
- Ability to be incorporated into existing structures
- Less vulnerable to high winds compared to other roof models
- Simple, seamless gutter installation along the side of your home
- Optimal flood protection for your basement and wall protection
Is there just one kind of hip roof?
No! There are multiple hip roof options for you to choose from. We’ve outlined each one below, and what they have to offer:
- Simple Hip: The most common type of hip roof. It has a polygon on two sides and a triangle on two other sides. The sides come together at the top to form a simple ridge
- Cross-Hipped: Similar to a cross gable roof. Use separate hip roofs on homes with different wings. The line where the two roofs meet is called a valley.
- Half Hipped: A standard hip roof that has two sides shortened to create eaves.
