A roof plays a key role in the protection of a building, its
occupants and interiors from outside weather conditions, primarily moisture.
The roof, insulation, and ventilation must all work together to keep the building
free of moisture.
Different roof designs and materials are used for residential and commercial
buildings. Commercial buildings typically use low-slope or flat roofs, while
home roofs are sloped. The concerns regarding moisture, standing water, durability
and appearance are different, as reflected in the choices of roofing materials.
