Roof Pitch

Roof pitch refers to the steepness or angle of a roof, expressed as a ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run. It influences drainage, material selection, and overall roof performance. Steeper pitches allow faster water runoff, which is beneficial in high-rainfall regions like Vancouver. Roof pitch also affects architectural style and attic space usability. Proper pitch design ensures efficient water management and structural balance.
