Sloped roof

Roofs with a slope of at least 30° to a maximum of 90° are called sloped roofs.

Advantages of sloped roofs

Sloped roofs require lower maintenance compared to flat roofs and are economically viable in installation. In addition, in some places, cover sheets could be placed on sloped concrete roofs or rough brick arches as moisture insulation. In the latter case, asbestos and cement sheets are not used, but ceramic and concrete tiles are usually utilized that do not contain any carcinogens. Their important applications include gable roof sheets, gable roof coatings, gable roofed villas, gyms, industrial sheds and other sloped roofs.
