To protect the occupants from erratic weather attacks, the roof of the house is one of the crucial elements of a dwelling. The functional value of a roof is an important factor supported by the selection of tile in order to produce a ceiling holder that has proven its durability. The types of roof tiles on the market are also varied and are made to meet the needs of the residential climate. The choice of tile types and prices must be considered in order to provide comfort for the owner of the house.
In addition to the various types of tile, the shape of the roof also has many variations. Not only is it protective, the shelter cover contains aesthetic value that can perfect the building of a house. The shape is not only monotonous like a trapezoid because there are many variations even some of them are rarely seen around because it is almost not used in Indonesia. Then what is the model of the roof of the house? Let's look at Lamudi's review of the following roof design:
1. Standard Saddle Roofs / Gable Roofs
The most common form of the roof of the house looks simpler because it consists of two trapezoidal planes with a slope of 30 to 40 degrees. The uppermost sides of the two trapezols coalesce as connected peaks and are referred to as ridges. This saddle roof model is certainly familiar because it is widely used as the roof of Indonesian homes. Not surprisingly, this form is very suitable for use in Indonesia which has a fairly high rainfall as a tropical country because the roof can easily drain rainwater automatically downward. In addition, there is no need to worry about leakage matters because it is easy to detect the location of the leak. Often used for building houses of Indonesian people, buildings such as schools, health centers, and administrative offices also often use this type of roof.
2. Roofing Home Models
A derivative of a gable roof, this type of sky covering the building only takes one side without any meeting lines as peaks or commonly referred to as ridges. Initially, this type of roof leaning used as an additional roof in a building such as a hallway or overhang. But now, the use of shed roofs is not only limited to the initial function. The expansion is currently being developed in architecture as the main roof that produces the final result of a minimalist modern and futuristic building.
3. Flat House Roof Model
Somewhat simplest in shape compared to other types of roofs, flat roofs are only horizontal in shape without any meeting edges. Usually, this roof is used for multi-storey buildings. The flat shape allows it to be used as a garden or terrace (roof top) above the house. As a balcony, the roof is usually made of reinforced concrete, while asbestos or thick zinc is used for the terrace. Not necessarily just flat, it turns out one side is made slightly tilted down even though invisible so that rain water can flow. The disadvantage of this type is that it requires extra care to clean the dirt that has accumulated and to detect when a leak occurs.
4. Limas House Roof Model / Shield Roof Shape
Shaped pyramid consisting of 4 side planes, two of which are trapezoidal and the other two are triangular fields. This plane then merges at the top on a ridge line as a peak. The design of the pyramid or shield is a refinement of the gable. This is a common type used in Indonesian architecture because it is often used for homes in general.
5. Double Gable Roof Design / Multi Gable Roof Shape
As the name implies, the design of a double saddle roof consists of two saddles. This model is quite instant because it can shade two buildings at once. This roof model looks like the letter M from the front.
6. Tent Roof Roof Design / Tented Roof Shape
The shape of the roof of the tent house is a meeting between 4 triangular-shaped fields that meet at one peak, while the side lines that unite the 4 fields on the side of the sloping side are the ridges called jurai. The slope of each plane of the roof is the same so that it is usually used in buildings of the same length and width. The roof design of this house can also be used as an open space roof like a gazebo.
7. House Roof Combination Saddle Shield Combination
The roof design of this house combines the gable and shield. Type of roof of this house combines the roof of the shield as the main roof extends to the side, while the roof is added to the front or vice versa.
8. Sawtooth Roof Type
Named the saw roof, the ceiling type of this house is indeed shaped like a saw. This type of roof is usually used for a factory building to a warehouse. A steep, shiny surface prevents workers and machines from direct sunlight. Since before the 19th century electric lamps replaced natural sunlight for lighting, this roofing strategy is very good in the use of natural light.
9. The shape of the roof of the butterfly house
This type of roof is named so because at first glance it does look like a butterfly. The roof of the butterfly house is quite eyecatching because it is outside the shape of the roof in general. Consisting of 2 gable sloping or sloping to the middle, this roof model is different from the others because of the height up on the outside. The design of the building using a roof is popular in America which was originally formed as an architectural innovation after the second world war. Not only beautiful in terms of aesthetics, in fact the roof that jutted down in the middle has an ecological functional value that is collecting rain water to be used to irrigate plants, flush the toilet until it is processed into drinking water.
10. The Pyramid Roof Model

Even today the use of this roof shape in Indonesia is still only used in homes with thick Javanese ethnic nuances.
13. Conical House Roof Model / Conical Roof Shape
Conical shape, this one you might normally see in royal themed films or imagination. Nothing wrong, because in Europe this cone roof is usually part of a guard tower that oversees the security of the castle. Like Buddenturm in Muenster, Germany, whose buildings had alternated uses ranging from prisons, defense towers to bars. Now unusual architectural designs are built and become iconic so that it does not rule out the possibility to be used for various buildings.
14. Gable Roof Model / Gambrel Roof Shape
Gambrel roof is a combination of saddle. Each plane has a slanted surface. The top one is the shorter plane while the bottom one has the longer plane. With a slope of about 30 degrees for the top, while a sharp slope of 60 degrees is found on the lower surface. This roof is a roll consisting of short pieces of wood.
