A gable is the A-shaped section of wall between two intersecting sloping sides, which can be the same size or different sizes depending on your property.
In some cases, typically for larger homes, two or more gables can be joined together with flatter roofing styles to add more depth to the property.
The overall costs of building and installing gable roofs are significantly lower than more complex roofing alternatives, as they are simple to design and cheaper to build/install.
The sloped design of a gable roof allows for exceptional water drainage, as the way the pitch is angled means rain and snow can slide off the roof easily.
This will cause fewer leaks as it eliminates any build up of water, which, in turn, will ensure your roof remains fully functional for longer.
Compared with alternative roofing designs, the pitched shape of gable roofs means they offer the most space for an attic or vaulted ceilings.
Not only that, the additional space also helps to improve ventilation within the property.
