It allow for quick run-off rain water and prevent leakages as compare to flat roof..it’s more aesthetically pleasing and egocentric..it allow for better indoor air quality and thermal comfort in building. Finally, it last longer than flat roof.
Big lies....

Don't know who taught you physics but you don't need that high elevation to remove water

15° elevation is more than enough even 5° the water would flow down

I heard you talking about moisture, moisture for metal roof in a tropical climate?

It is called send down the rain, it is just to prevent from entering the rooms through the roof.

Advantage of high roofing


There's less danger of pooling water: On high-slope rooftops, gravity makes short work of any moisture—as the roof quickly channels the water down into gutters. The lower the slope, the longer moisture lingers on the rooftop where it degrades materials and turns weak spots into leaks.
lol... Poling water you say... Even ones with lower slope cannot pool water

My opinion on this kind of high roofing is that it reduces the amount of heat in the building which makes the building cooler than low roofing.
Op, right here is your answer. It's as simple as that. Lower roofing quickly spoils the ceiling because of hot air pressure while roofs with larger surface area reduces this pressure and makes it cooler.

Come on guys,it's mainly against solar radiation induced heat. It's got general purpose though as regards the weather-rains,etc but it's mainly against solar radiation which is a big issue in naija where there is a huge power problem.

The only practical advantage I see in this roofing
design is its resistance to wind.

Contrary to what some are saying, this is not a new design it's just modification to the existing "old skool" design.

There's one such building in our street (family house), back then wind can tamper with almost all the roofs of the houses in the street but this particular house wouldn''t be affected. That's why people are now going back to the design and adding modifications.

Rainwater drains out quickly whereby leading to great reduction in leakage.The airvent in this kind provides suitable room temperature.

As a solar installer, this roof as always be a kinda nightmare for my team to work on but we always find a way out.

Meanwhile, the most disadvantageous of it, is the shadow of one side on the other depending on the sun position and this always results in lower harvest and production of solar panels, hence the end user loses a lot of energy everyday.

In fact, a client once painfully told me that the roof is even the most expensive in his building without a special and convincing benefit.

Gravity again comes to the rescue when it comes to water, leaves and other debris, which tend to slide off – or get blown off – high-pitched roofs.

Rooftops with low slopes, however, tend to catch debris more easily and keep it longer, which can be a problem if you have plenty of nearby trees.


Also it helps in aesthetics that's why most of the cities in East are cute ...due to this roofing pattern though it's expensive...the worst is absestors

If it's a disadvantage to maintenance, how was the roof installed?

Kindly watch out for any new roof installation around your area, you will understand better

Apart from aesthetics, high roof has no special advantage. It is even a disadvantage in case of maintenance because carpenters will find it difficult to maintain good balance when carrying out repair works on the roof.

There is a popular saying amongst carpenters: a high roof is the gateway to heaven.




Which maintenance?!
Since I was born in 1985 till now, no maintenance has been carried out on our roof in Lagos.

House get better Asbestos from Nigerite.

Na cheap roofings dem dey maintain.
