Everyone loves this kind of roof lately and that’s great βœοΈπŸ’œ

This type of roofing design has gained so much popularity in this our recent time due to its affordability, aesthetics and functionality.

Many confuse flat roof for hidden roof -

A flat roof has an extremely low pitch and is almost horizontally level. Hidden/flat roofs This type of roof has a slope of less than 10 degrees and is either horizontal or nearly horizontal.

Many hammer πŸ”¨ a lot on what are the disadvantages of hidden roof,now let me draw your attention to it ,

Hidden roof damage is similar to a ticking time bomb,(Especially when wrongly handled) quietly biding its time until it causes significant harm.

These disadvantages include ,

-minor leaks that go unnoticed

-hidden roof requires regular maintenance and inspection in some cases .Without regular inspections, these issues can remain hidden, only becoming apparent when they have already caused extensive damage.

The benefits of this inspection are for you to detect early issues and avert it and to have your peace of mind knowing it is okay βœ…

-moisture building leading to mold and shingles slowly deteriorating, this can all undermine a roof's integrity.

When a roof lacks its integrity that means it has lacked its functionality and role of being a roof πŸ™‚πŸ’―

If you just do this kind of roof ,get good inspection at intervals so as the roof can be checked and okayed to avoid damage βœ…

ADVANTAGES OF HIDDEN ROOF βœ…βœ”οΈ

It is cheaper to handle (lesser timber’s are used and lesser roofing sheet and materials too)

Cheaper to maintain too than the other roofs βœ…

It has the appearance and ability to blend more efficiently to giving a house or building a good aesthetic βœ…πŸ’œ

If you must do this roof it’s great but make sure you get a good hand to handle it and observe good inspections at intervals and you are good to go βœ…

Inspection at intervals helps you note issues on time and avert it by correcting it βœ…βœ…

Stay blessed and I wish you all the resources to build soon

Taste and purpose determines the answer. None of them is bad.

The fact that you didn't sample each roof on the two houses means that you know the answer to your question.

The first one is better. Build it and have peace of mind, but the second one needs continuous maintenance.
Building such in southern part of the country is not a good idea due to rain fall.

History in Nigeria has shown that if you don't do the flat roof properly, you will end up with a leaky roof which will make you to compulsorily embark on an extra expenses journey for a sloppy roof to cover the flat roof cheesy grin

Aesthetically the sloppy one is better!

I would like to have a penthouse where we can chill or even celebrate once in a while up there!

Also we can have some solar installations and others up there easily!

Sloppy the best.
Flat/hidden makes the house look like a filling station.

None is actually better than d other. Preferences differ.
However, to me,
Design 1: charging solar power will be influenced by d direction of sunrise and sunset, esp periods when there's neither rain nor sunshine while 2 may require occasional repairs during raining seasons due to leaks.

Taste and purpose determine the answer to your question. Neither of them is bad.

By the way, I think flat roofs are finer for buildings that are storeyed, while "send down the rain" roofs are good for houses that aren't storeyed.

Sloopy is far better, most especially in this country where sun will hammer you, so the distance to the room with thr roof is higher, which reduced penetrative of sun inside the room..

Sloopy has alot of advantage over flat, flat is less expensive though....

A properly constructed flat roof is 100 times better than sloppy roof.


I shudder in disgust when I see sloppy roofs built almost the same height as the main building. Waste of money.

For those talking about rain, what is the slope ratio needed for water to drain easily?

Those extremely sloppy roofs are for areas with snow fall. So the snow will fall off easily.
