Roof Slope

Roof slope describes the angle or incline of a roof surface. It plays a key role in directing water, snow, and debris off the roof. Low slopes are common in commercial buildings, while steep slopes are typical in residential roofing. In Vancouver’s climate, adequate slope is essential to prevent water pooling and leakage. Proper slope design improves roof longevity and performance.
