The right roof shape defines the character of your outdoor retreat. From sleek and modern to classic and timeless.
The shape of the roof plays a major role in the look and feel of your outdoor retreat. Each roof type has its own character and influences the way light enters, the height and the sense of space. A flat roof creates a sleek, modern look, while a gable roof gives a classic appearance with added height. If you go for a mono-pitch roof, you'll benefit from plenty of light and a contemporary look. Pyramid and asymmetric roofs give your outdoor retreat a unique and distinctive character.
The right choice depends on your wishes and how you'll use the space. If you'd like an open, light-filled room, a mono-pitch roof is a lovely solution. Going for a more traditional look? Then a gable roof is often a better fit. Practical aspects such as height, position and insulation also play a part. By taking these into account, you'll choose a roof that not only looks beautiful, but is also a pleasure in everyday use.
Still in two minds? For a classic look, choose a gable roof, for a modern and sleek finish, a flat roof. For added height or space, a gable or pyramid roof is well suited. And for maximum natural light with a contemporary feel, the mono-pitch roof is an excellent choice.
Roof covering
EPDM is a high-quality rubber roof covering, often used on flat and slightly sloping roofs. Flexible, fully watertight and resistant to extreme conditions, from UV radiation to frost and heat. The material stays in top condition for years without cracking or ageing. Low-maintenance, easy to install and responsible for a sleek, modern finish that offers lasting protection.
Roof covering
For a classic or characterful look, shingles or tile-effect roofing sheets are a lovely choice. Both combine an attractive finish with reliable protection from the elements.
Shingles give your outdoor retreat a warm, traditional look. Lightweight, easy to install and suitable for various roof shapes, ideal for a timeless appearance.
Tile-effect roofing sheets offer the look of classic roof tiles, with the ease of modern materials. Strong, low-maintenance and resistant to varying weather conditions, without compromising on a robust, high-quality look.
Isolation
A great deal of heat is lost through the roof. Would you like to use your outdoor retreat all year round? Then roof insulation is essential for more comfort in both winter and summer.
Good roof insulation means less heat loss, a more stable indoor climate and lower energy bills.
