Roof Styles

Expanding your home offers a world of possibilities. You might envision a comfortable, airy kitchen where your family can gather, a separate dining area for formal dinners, or a new space dedicated to hobbies like a games room or library. Whatever your dream, we'll help you turn your vision into reality with a beautiful oak-framed conservatory, orangery or garden room. A great way to begin the design process is by exploring different roof styles to find the one that best suits your home and needs.

Outbuildings A range of roof styles are available on our buildings. The most common is a gable roof but hipped and barnhipped are also common. A barnhip roof is also known as a Dutch hip. A part hipped roof with small gable at the top is known as a gablet roof. An outshot roof is a type of roof that extends from the main roof of a building, typically at a lower, shallower pitch. It is a common feature on historical and vernacular buildings, often used to cover a subsidiary compartment, like a lean- to or a small side extension. The term "outshot" is often used interchangeably with "catslide roof," "shed roof," or "skillion roof." While the terms are often used interchangeably, "catslide" specifically refers to the long, single- pitched roof slope itself, which often extends down to a very low height, sometimes even to the ground floor. "Outshot" can refer to both the roof and the small compartment it covers. The back of these garages usually have a slightly shallower roof pitch (usually 2.5°) which we refer to as the catslide roof - outshots at the side we generally call logstores as that’s what they are often used for. Buildings can also have a combination of roofstyles. Internally, on garden rooms and mansard orangeries, you have the option of softwood rafters and plastered ceilings or exposed oak rafters.
