Roofs Around The World
Roofs are different wherever you go. Just about every building around the world has one, but they vary in shape, materials, durability and construction. Why is this so and why hasn’t someone come up with the definitive roof for all roofers to copy?
Depending where in the world you live roofs have a variety of purposes. Primarily they are to protect against rainfall, but also they give shelter from sun, wind, cold and heat. Characteristics also differ according to local architectural style, available materials, wealth and the purpose of the building.
