If we talk about the main characteristics of the roof of the house, then I must immediately say that it must meet a number of requirements, including be reliable protection against all types of precipitation without exception, protect against wind and from the negative impact of other weather conditions.
Also, the roof of the house should be as resistant to shocks and, very importantly, to fires. It should last a sufficient amount of time to you and become one of the symbols of the comfort of your home.
At the same time, it is worth saying that different types of roofs are nothing more than just an adaptation to the climatic conditions in which the house itself was built. They can be of different forms and different inclined. If the house is built in conditions of almost a complete absence of snow, then there you can make roofs almost without a slope or with a completely small slope.
In conditions of significant snowfalls, the roof of the pitched roof, which will have a significant slope, so that the snow can slide off it and not linger at the top will be best. Thus, you will be able to save your strength about cleaning the roof of snow.
Pay attention to the features of the area in which the house is located. If it was built in the lowland, then the pitched roof is also very good in this case.
