Mono pitch roof house extension.

A lot of times adding an extension to an existing house is a project more complex than initially anticipated. The challenge can be overcome through specific methods and using as inspiration existing projects such as this residence in oakleigh. I was hoping someone could give me a bit of advice as i m about to start building a mono pitch roof over my new single storey side extension to my existing house. The pitch is 15 degrees with 2 velux windows fitted along with the correct flashing kit insulation collar and cloaking and the transverse drainage gutter.

If you are planning to build a cabin house in the forest or a mountain retreat then you definitely need to go for the mono pitched roof. Designed to fall within permitted development rights a reverse mono pitch roof finished in semi weathered zinc was combined with sliding glazed doors with an aligned grid of large format floor tiles inside and out. In such a case the mono pitched roof is placed lower than the ceiling height of the building provided that the ceiling is a flat one. Just recently had an extension finished its 6 meters across by 4 meters out.

The mono pitch roofing can also act just as an extension of the roof which already exists. In pavilion style houses mono pitched roof would allow proper drainage and more sunlight to reach the spaces in the interior. Flush glazed roof windows boost daylight throughout. Cross battened breathable membrane overlapped at 200mm and tiled with sandtoft 20 20.

The house is located in a suburb of melbourne in australia.
