Felt Roof
Felt roofing, also known as roofing felt or tar paper, is a type of roofing material used as an underlayment between the roof deck and the shingles or other roofing materials.
It serves as a secondary barrier to help prevent moisture from penetrating the roof structure.
Here are some key points about felt roofing:
Composition: Roofing felt is typically made from a base material, such as wood cellulose, fiberglass, or polyester, which is then coated with bitumen to make it waterproof.
Types: There are different types of roofing felt, including torch-on felt, self-adhesive felt, and shed felt.
Each type has its own application method and suitability for various projects.
Purpose: It helps to repel water, protect the roof deck from wind-driven rain or snow, and provide an additional layer of protection against leaks, rot, and mold.
Lifespan: The lifespan of roofing felt can vary, but it generally lasts around 15-30 years, depending on the type and quality of the material.

Roof installation
Roof installation is the process of constructing or replacing a roof on a building. It involves several key steps to ensure the roof is durable, weather-resistant, and properly aligned.
Preparation: This includes removing the old roofing material, if necessary, and inspecting the roof deck for any damage that needs repair.
Installing Underlayment: A protective layer, such as roofing felt or synthetic underlayment, is laid over the roof deck to provide an additional barrier against moisture.
Flashing Installation: Flashing is installed around areas prone to leaks, such as chimneys, vents, and skylights.
The chosen roofing material (e.g., shingles, tiles, metal) is then installed, starting from the bottom edge of the roof and working upwards.
Sealing and Finishing: The roof is sealed to prevent water infiltration, and any additional features like ridge vents or gutters are installed.

Slate Roof
Slate roofing involves using natural slate tiles to cover a roof. Slate is a fine-grained, metamorphic rock that can be split into thin, durable sheets, making it an excellent roofing material.
Durability: Slate roofs are known for their longevity, often lasting over 100 years with proper maintenance.
Aesthetic Appeal: Slate provides a classic, elegant look that enhances the appearance of any building.
Fire Resistance: Slate is naturally fire-resistant, adding an extra layer of protection to your home.
Environmental Impact: As a natural material, slate is environmentally friendly and can be recycled.

Pitched Roof
Types of Pitched Roofs:
Gable Roof: Features two sloping sides that meet at a central ridge, forming a triangular shape.
Hip Roof: All sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a gentle slope.
Mansard Roof: Has two slopes on each side, with the lower slope being steeper than the upper one.
Gambrel Roof: Similar to a mansard roof but typically used on barns and some residential homes, with two different slopes on each side.
Components:
Rafters: Sloping beams that support the roof covering.
Ridge: The horizontal line at the top where two sloping sides meet.
Eaves: The edges of the roof that overhang the walls.
Purlins: Horizontal beams that provide additional support to the rafters.
Benefits:
Durability: Pitched roofs are generally more durable and require less maintenance.
Aesthetic Appeal: They add a classic and attractive look to buildings.
Effective Drainage: The slope ensures efficient drainage of water and snow.
Materials:
Tiles: Clay or concrete tiles are common for their durability and aesthetic appeal.
Shingles: Asphalt shingles are popular for their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation.
Metal: Metal roofing is durable and can be designed to mimic other materials.
