Why Knowing Roof Pitch is So Important Skip to content Why Knowing Roof Pitch is So Important December 5, 2019 One of the most important aspects of the design of your home, business or other structure is the pitch of its roof. In addition to determining the aesthetics of your structure, its roof pitch will also play a large role in your roofing system’s overall performance and how efficiently it will steer water and debris away from the roof. How Roof Pitch is Expressed When talking with your building contractor, the roof pitch will be expressed as a measurement that’s determined by calculating the rising vertical inches for every 12 inches it stretches horizontally. For example, a 6/12 roof pitch refers to a roof that rises six inches for every 12 inches in runs straight across. The Differences in Roof Pitches Each structure will have its own roof pitch, and its own pros and cons. Low-pitched roofs typically require less materials but more work must be done to remove water and debris. Recent Blog Roof and Floor Truss Products
Trusses Make Cost-Saving Construction Easy Construction is expensive. Building a new home or business means a significant investment in time and resources. Builders are always looking for ways to control costs, and pre-fabricated trusses often answer this need. How Do Trusses Save Builders Money? One of the first questions most people have is: how do trusses actually save builders money? While it is a bit counter-intuitive, buying pre-made trusses often cuts the roofing or flooring cost of a project by up to 50 percent. However, with pre-made trusses, not only is the time constraint involved in designing and building the rafters or floor joists considerably lessened, but the amount of labor required is also cut considerable. Pre-made trusses have most of the cost built into the product. If you are interested in finding out more about how truss manufacturers in San Diego can save you money, contact Stone Truss today.
