Introduction • Interior designers – Do not deal with roof framing, which is a structural issue – Have to respond to the shape of the roof as it shapes interior space – The ceiling finish also falls under the realm of the designer

Roofing Materials • Shed water away from the roof framing and the interior • Finish material is related directly to the slope of the roof – Low sloped roofs can use only certain materials, such as asphalt shingles – Other materials like standing seam metal and slate can be use on a steeply pitched roof Tucker Chapter 9

Flat Roofs

Low Sloped and High Sloped Roofs • Low Sloped Roofs – Rise of 3 feet in every 12 feet of horizontal distance (3:12) or less
• High Sloped Roofs – Pitch over 4:12

Sustainability Issues and Roofing • Use a lighter color in locations where heat gain is an issue • Material choice – Recycled rubber shingles – Cement board shingles – Sustainably harvested wood products – Recycled metal products

22
Ceilings • Cathedral ceilings/sloped ceilings • Directly applied ceilings – Gypsum wall board – Plaster
• Suspended acoustical panel ceilings (SAPC) – Grid types – Material types
