What kind of roof is better for rural self-built houses?

For self-built houses in rural areas, our usual house is 1 floor, with 2~3 floors. For these houses, we generally need to consider the structural form of their roofs. Because different roof structures have different effects on our future use. So before we build our own house, we must confirm the specific structure and roof form of our house in advance. So what kind of roof is better for self-built houses? Take the following questions as an example to answer the question of roof selection of self-built houses.

What kind of roof is better for building in rural areas? What kind of roof is better for building in rural areas? For this problem, we must first distinguish the specific types of rural building roofs. Personally, the roofs of rural self-built houses are currently divided into flat roofs and sloping roofs. These two different roof types actually have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one should we choose? You should choose according to the specific situation of your family, as well as your living habits and conditions of use. To this end, I would like to introduce you to the following two situations.

(1) Choosing a flat roof The so-called choice of a flat roof is to make the roof of our self-built house a flat roof. The so-called roof cleaning is to directly pour the roof with reinforced concrete in the process of building a house. We have finished waterproofing the roof, so that our roof is a flat roof for people to use. For self-leveling roofs, it is suitable for many families. There are three specific advantages.

①: Self-built houses have a flat roof, and the interest rate is higher after completion. Why is the availability higher? It means that there is a lot of space on our flat roof, and many rural friends are highly utilized. Like many families, it is good to dry food or put other storage items on the roof. So, if we have a plan to use a flat roof, we should try to choose a flat roof.

②: Compared with the inclined roof, the flat roof of a self-built house has a lower cost. For a flat roof, everyone should know its basic construction process. Is through the erection of scaffolding below, and then put up a template on the scaffolding, and tie steel bars on the template. When this is done, concrete can be poured directly. When the concrete solidified, we removed the formwork and scaffolding to form our flat roof. Therefore, its cost is lower than that of reinforced concrete sloping roof.

③: Hanging gardens can be set on the roof, or green plants can be planted. For example, many friends like to put a shelf on the roof to grow grapes, which is also a good idea. In addition, we can also set up a sun room on the roof as some leisure rooms. Therefore, the utilization rate of flat roof is higher than that of our inclined roof as a whole.

(2): Choosing a sloping roof The choice of sloping roof mentioned here means that our roof is ultimately composed of sloping roofs. On the sloping roof, we finally finished it by covering it with tiles. That is to say, many rural villas or some overall planning houses are of this structure. For sloping roofs, there are also advantages and disadvantages. So when we choose, we should also consider its advantages and disadvantages. Specifically includes the following points.

①: The construction cost of sloping roof is higher than that of ordinary flat roof. Because our sloping roof is the structural plane of sloping roof, we should first erect formwork, tie steel bars and pour concrete. Above the structural plane, we will cover the tiles. So its cost should be at least the extra part of the cover tile. So when we build a house, this part of the cost also needs to be taken into account.

②: The internal space of the top floor of the house built with sloping roof is relatively large. Because the sloping roof we built is a part of the space higher than the ordinary flat roof. So if our indoor area is relatively large, we can make full use of the roof if the height increases. The space inside the top floor is divided, so the utilization rate is also relatively high.

③: The sloping roof can also adopt light steel structure or wood structure. At this point, its cost may be lower than our ordinary flat roof. For example, we usually use a wooden roof and then hang tiles on it. Or make the roof structure with light steel structure, and hang metal tile on it, or hang other tiles. Therefore, the ways of building sloping roofs are diverse and selective.

Judging from the overall architectural style of the house, the house with sloping roof looks better than the house with flat roof. For some high-end houses, such as villas and some traditional ancient buildings, you will find that they all have sloping roofs. However, buildings with flat roofs are generally rare. Therefore, the overall shape and the completed effect of the sloping roof are better than those of the flat roof. If you want to find a nice house, you must choose a sloping roof at this time.

What problems should be paid attention to in the selection of roof tiles? For sloping roofs, we all need to choose roof tiles. Because the sloping roof eventually needs to be tiled to complete the roof, otherwise our roof will not be able to complete the normal sloping roof. Because roof tiles not only involve good looks, but also involve our future waterproof problems. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the selection of roof tiles for sloping roofs. Personally, I want to give you the following two suggestions.

①: It is recommended to choose traditional cement tile or ceramic tile first. Cement tile is a kind of cement mortar as the main material, which can have the same color after high pressure molding and drying, so the shape and color are very diverse and the price is moderate. But this kind of tile is a non-human roof tile, which is very easy to be trampled. Everyone must pay attention to this.

②: Secondly, you can choose synthetic resin tiles. Synthetic resin ceramic tile is a kind of ceramic tile similar to plastic material. This kind of tile is extremely light in weight, and has good waterproof and strength. The most important thing is its low price. If resin tile is installed qualified, it will have a long service life and better waterproof effect.

Conclusion My personal opinion is that if the roof of our self-built house is used for other purposes, then the flat roof is our first choice. And if we only pursue the aesthetic degree of architectural style and appearance, then the sloping roof is the first choice. Therefore, for different forms of roofs, we should choose according to the actual situation of our family. Finally, if you have a sloping roof at home, you must choose the right tiles. Because ceramic tile is the most basic requirement to ensure the function of our roof, we must not choose the wrong one.
