Description

Interior clearances for roof slopes provide guides for designing functional human spaces under the challenging constraints of angled roof planes. With various angles ranging from low slopes of 20° to extremely steep pitches of 50°, roof slopes restrict the amount of usable space based on comfortable heights of standing people.

It is advised that ceiling heights be designed at a minimum of 7’6” (230 cm) with minimal human clearances set at 5’ 11” (180 cm). To provide for more functional space around the perimeter of a sloped roof, starting heights of 3’-5’3” (90-160 cm) should be provided at the base of the slope to accommodate a range of diverse functions and furniture options such as chairs, desks, low beds, and storage.

Roof types embody varying styles, materials, and structures, designed for aesthetic, environmental, and functional considerations. Designs range from flat to complex structures like mansard, gabled or hipped. Materials differ from thatch to modern composites, depending on climate and aesthetics.
