If you’re into roofing or looking at a home renovation, you might have come across mono-pitched roofs and be wondering whether they’re right for you. This guide will break down what a mono pitch roof is and the benefits of having louvres on the roof.
What is a mono pitch roof?
A Mono pitch roof, sometimes known as a single pitch or shed roof, is a type of roof that features a slope. When compared with more complex pitched roofs, the mono pitched roof has advantages. Some of the benefits of mono pitch roofs are that they save space by only requiring one sloped plane. They’re visually very aesthetic and easy to install. This roof isn’t to be confused with a gabled roof which features two sloped planes that are symmetrical and meet at a central ridge.
Louvres can be fantastic additions to mono-pitched roofs. Here are some points to think about:
Functionality
There are many types of louvres, from fixed, to motorised and adjustable. Each type provides different levels of ventilation, shading and privacy, depending on your preferences.
They are typically made of materials like aluminium which is weather resistant and very durable.
Louvres can help to protect against bad weather, and some allow for the louvres to completely close to provide full weather protection.
Aesthetic appeal
There are a range of products and customisation options available, including custom solutions with different colours, shapes and sizes. Whether you have a raking roof or wish to insert a triangular shaped Louvretec opening roof, there’s bound to be something that suits your style.
In terms of installation, louvres can be integrated into the roof or mounted externally. They can also be designed to follow the slope of the roof for a more seamless aesthetic if that’s something you’d be interested in.
