The Anatomy of a Roof

Everyone isn’t an expert on roofing, so we’ve included the following illustrations showing the different parts of a typical residential roof, to provide you with an understanding of some of the more common terminology. If you’re interested in furthering your roofing education, please feel free to contact us with your questions. You can also click on the Owens Corning and GAF logos on the right to go to their websites, which both offer a large amount of helpful roofing information.
