Roof Pitch

It is the steepness of a roof expressed as a ratio of inch rise per horizontal foot, or as the angle in degrees its surface deviates from the horizontal.
A flat roof has a pitch of zero in either instance and then all other roof are pitched.
The angle, or pitch, of a roof is calculated by the number of inches it rises vertically for every 12 inches it extends horizontally.
For example, a roof that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run has a 6-in-12 pitch.
Pitched roofs are more stable than flat roofs during periods of heavy rain and offer far more effective drainage.
The water drains off a pitched roof easily and uniformly, whereas on a flat roof water can build up, creating structural pressure.
Pitched roof are generally used in factories and workshops, godowns and warehouse, theater and auditoriums and in hilly regions.
The climatic condition of the site, nature of the covering material, span and other factors are all responsible for the slope of the roof.

The primary purpose of pitching a roof is to redirect wind and precipitation, whether in the form of rain or snow.
Thus, pitch is typically greater in areas of high rain or snowfall, lower in areas of high wind.
The basic function of any roof is to offer protection from the elements for people and their possessions.
Roofs can also provide insulation, retaining heat in the winter or cool air in the summer.
Certain roofing materials , especially those of fibrous origin , offer strong insulation.
