The latest roofing trends go hand in hand with the most current architectural styles. Modern building masses need to be crowned with perfectly matching roofs. Together with Regamet, a Polish roofing manufacturer, we indicate what designs will be the most fashionable in 2020.
The dominant trend in architecture for several years is minimalism. It is a trend characterized by maximum simplicity and a consistent, subdued character. At the same time, it likes materials of the highest quality, which themselves decorate modernist buildings.
First of all, high quality
With so much economy of form, every detail is visible. Roofing, therefore, must be made first of all very carefully, with materials of the highest technical parameters and aesthetics. Specialists at Regamet, a company that manufactures roofing sheets, double-module sheets and roof panels, advise paying attention not only to the colors and shapes of the profiles you choose, but also to the quality of the materials they are made of and whether they have the right coating, which will protect the roof not only from mechanical and climatic damage, but also give it a proper, beautiful finish.
Simplicity of form and modernity of the gable roof
Some of the most fashionable nowadays are buildings of cuboidal form with a gabled, usually eaveless roof. They are created with the highest energy efficiency in mind. The most common facade colors used for them are various shades of white, as well as blacks and grays. These types of buildings are also often covered entirely with one of the most fashionable materials, such as sheet metal, slate, wood
Such houses look exceptionally phenomenal and stand out against the background of traditional construction, despite the fact that their style is quite austere and economical. The roofs with which they are covered look similar.
They are ideally matched by modern-looking sheet metal tiles in graphite, black or light shades of gray," says Bartlomiej Ukowski, sales director of Regamet. The specialist also draws attention to the form of the roofing profile, which will best suit the minimalist body of the building. - In this case, sheet metal roofing tiles with a simple shape, with the most delicate embossing possible, reign supreme. A good choice is one of the minimalist double-module roofing tiles available in our offer, whose flat surface is enriched only by a very narrow corrugation. This gives it an original shape and protects the tightness of the joined sheets.
Another type of roofing, which also fits perfectly into the character of modern, minimalist buildings with a pitched roof, are traditional standing seam sheets. Although they are among the oldest technologies used in construction and are used on the roofs of historic and religious buildings, they are currently experiencing a renaissance and are the most desirable form of roofing on modernist blocks. They look extremely attractive and have applications, both as a covering for simple gabled roofs and for parts of the facades of these buildings.
Minimalism and solidity of a single-pitched roof
In addition to simple gable roofs, buildings with mono-pitched roofs with a small angle are also very popular. This is another architectural nod to minimalism. They work well in densely built-up areas - in cities and suburbs.
Such roof slopes require a covering with absolute leak-tightness. In this case, a proposal for investors who value innovative design and reliable quality are roof panels that relate in aesthetics to traditional standing seam roofing. Such products available in our offer not only give buildings a light, noble line, and thus a unique character, but also provide high quality and resistance to roofing. It is an extremely durable solution, because we make them from selected sheet metal, protected by a unique protective coating," emphasizes Bartlomiej Ukowski of Regamet.
Hidden and reliable guttering
Speaking of the two most fashionable types of buildings and their roofs, it is also necessary to mention the guttering that perfectly complements them. An indispensable element of such minimalist forms, such as the aforementioned rectangular buildings with gabled roofs or houses with mono-pitched roofs with a low pitch, are the most fitting, aesthetically uncomplicated components possible.
This is why, in the case of houses with eaveless roofs, gutters and downpipes can be hidden in the insulation layer of the building, and in the case of mono-pitched roofs with a low pitch, fashionable square downpipes are most often installed. This gives the house an even more uniform and minimalist character.
