I'll go for the gable roofing due to the weather condition in Southern part of the country.

The open roofing looks more beautiful but with constant exposure to rainfall, the building absorbs the water and results to dampness of the wall and the beauty begins to fade.

Open roof buildings will be much better in Northern part of the country.

If you have deep pockets for maintenance, then open roofing is good to go with.

In general, I'm not condemning open roofing. I only shared my opinion.

I love the korean type of roofing. You fit go relax and sleep during heat period unless the one wey get roof, na di.e you dey

The second makes it very hard for electricians to work on your ceiling

I love flat roof. They hardly go out of fashion.

The two are gbese this period..


Wetin concern a common man with design for this economy...

Just bring what is damn affordable!!!

No 1

How about these two, which do you prefer and why?

money121:
This or that

And please share your Reason

neither
the first is copy pasted from western residential architeture and serves NO purpose. it is simply architects wasting clients money. the roof has a steep slope so that snow will slide down rather than collect on it until the weight of the snow makes the roof cave in. this is not an issue in africa, so a roof with a gentle slope is fine. i am always irritated when i see all these house with roofs like this. a fool and his money roofs

even more so as tropical temperatures mean that the attic [that space under the roof] is useless

the second is not a roof but a concrete slab. it requires a waterproof membrae that usually has to be replaced every four years or so.

money121:
This or that

And please share your Reason

judging by how things have become so expensive now, the first house is a total waste of wood, while the second is the best.

I prefer the second one. Anything screeding always my first choose of roofing

I prefer the one that can easily take solar panels

Omo na my belle I wan roof first, before I think of roofing anything o

How does the flat roof benefit solar panels?

immortalcrown:
Why didn't you use the same building design to compare the different roofing styles? You can see that the Gamble roofing style on the first building will not be so bad on the second building but the flat roofing style on that second building will look so bad on the first building.

Therefore, my preference depends on the building design. Duplicate the first building design, try roof A on one copy of the building and try roof B on the other copy of the building. Do the same on the second building design. Then, you will clearly get my point.

I think that roofing style is not always about style choice but about purpose. For example, solar panels can be the reason for the flat roof. Weather condition can also influence roofing choice.

safarifarms:

Solar panels need to be positioned almost flat (horizontal). Flat roofing style aids the positioning.

bassdow:
The roof style on Second building, is much better for Solar Panel installation than what's used on the first building.

In other words, Solar Panels works better on Flat Roofs works much better than Gabble roofs

How does the flat roof work better for solar panels?

From what I saw we may need an angle it max 10 degrees because of insolation.

Flat roof always

I didn't imply otherwise. I said almost flat.

1.I like that it's an international style,the way all those igbo people dey prefer building high roof house when as if they have a room inside where they hide secret things
2.I will even prefer that like decking so it will be like a balcony

the only advantage of flat roof is that u save heavy cost.its not finer neither is it more efficient.if that thg worry u,u go think say ur village ppl don finally catch u.

immortalcrown:

Chief I was agreeing with you. I did a search for the angle and first saw 30 to 45 degree slope. I then amended to Nigeria and I got 10 degree slope.

The irony is that a traditional roof will therfore have better energy yield and not announce to everyone that this person has solar panels because the angle of the roof limits visibility
