Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE 9 – Technical Drafting Module on Basic Types of Roof!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local
Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Vico Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the TLE 9 – Technical Drafting Module Basic Types of Roof!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning material while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectation - These are what you will be able to know after

completing the lessons in the module

Pre-test - This will measure your prior knowledge and the

concepts to be mastered throughout the lesson.

Recap - This section will measure what learnings and skills

that you understand from the previous lesson.

Lesson- This section will discuss the topic for this module.

Activities - This is a set of activities you will perform.

Wrap Up- This section summarizes the concepts and

applications of the lessons.

Valuing-this part will check the integration of values in the

learning competency.

Post-test - This will measure how much you have learned from
the entire module.
 EXPECTATION
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. identify the different types of roofs; and
2. draw the different types of roofs.

 RECAP
Directions: Listed below are some of the most important skills that you
must gain to draft a quality floor plan. On the right side of the
matrix lists the skills expected of you to master. Rate yourself
by checking “Not much”, if you are not so familiar yet, “A little”
and/or “A lot”, if you are already familiar with the skills. Don’t
feel bad if you checked “Not Much” in all of the skills. Keep in
mind that this is being administered to determine your pre-
entry knowledge of and skills on the lesson to be presented.

LESSON

Roof

It is the external upper covering of a house or building. It shows the

size, shape and the type of materials that should be used in the roofing
system.

Basic Types of Roof

There are different types of roofing system that are commonly used in the
building construction. The following are:
➢ This roofing is used when eave-line protection is
desired around the entire perimeter of the building.
Hip roofs are very popular in warm climates. They
are commonly used on Regency and French
Provincial homes.
➢ This roofing has a pitch on two sides but no pitch on
the gable ends. This type of roof is used extensively
on Philippines “bahay kubo” and raw houses in
subdivision. The pitch or angle of a gable roof varies
from the high pitch roofs found on chalet A-frame
style buildings to the low pitch roofs found on most
ranch homes.

➢ This roofing are higher at one end than the other.

They may be used effectively when two levels exist
where additional light is needed.

➢ This roofing has two asymmetrical sides. Its smaller

side has a low slope while the larger side has a lower
slope, which appears to be nearly flat.

➢ A gambrel roof is a symmetrical two-sided roof in

which each side has two slopes, one steeper and one
shallower.

➢ A gullwing style roof has two pitches on either side of

the ridge, where the first pitch is shallower than the
second.

➢ A half-hip, clipped-gable or jerkin head roof has a

gable, but the upper point of the gable is replaced by
a small hip, squaring off the top of the gable. The
lower edge of the half-hip may have a gutter which
leads back on to the remainder of the roof on one or
both sides.
 ➢ This roofing is a four-sided gambrel-style hip
roof characterized by two slopes on each of its sides
with the lower slope. The steep roof with windows
creates an additional floor of habitable
space (a garret), and reduces the overall height of the
roof for a given number of habitable stories. The
upper slope of the roof may not be visible from street
level when viewed from proximity to the building.
➢ A dormer is a roofed structure, often containing a
window, that projects vertically beyond the plane of
a pitched roof. Dormers are commonly used to
increase the usable space in a loft and to create
window openings in a roof plane.
