Roofs With No Overhang

I was hoping you would discuss applying roof overhangs to a persist style home that is intentionally built with no overhangs to simplify the installation of control layers.

Roofs with no overhang.

With our house we are planning minimal east and west overhangs and ample south and north overhangs. Martin and jon are right that a roof overhang is the best way to protect the siding. I have two questions. The eaves are the part of the roof that hangs over the walls of the house.

Figure 8 24a shows a detail with no overhang care being. The functions to be considered in the design of eaves are therefore as follows. Venting solutions for roofs with no overhang or soffit install special roof intake venting products that work at the lower edge of the roof decking underneath the first course of shingles. Smart vent a special roof eaves vent product that provides a 3 4 opening about 6 above the top of the roof drip edge.

Roof edge detail overhang extended to hide the thickness of the over roofing rigid insulation. No roof leaks no problems. Low slope roofs are more subject to snow load damage than steeper pitches and so typically have little or no unsupported overhang which can bend. So if you have shallow eaves with a flat soffit you have a very small overhang that has a flat bottom.

I m reroofing a small roof with a 6 in 12 pitch. We will protect shade the west windows with cedar awnings grates. A great example of great wide eaves are the homes of frank lloyd wright. Soffits are the underside of the eaves.

Particularly i m curious how to build well supported ladders for the rake overhangs but it would be great to have some general comments on the challenges to building good. There is no good way to make that last. Plywood over the existing layer to strengthen the roof before shingling. With the west east overhangs the main use is siding window protection and keeping rain snow from foundation.

We love the look of the no overhang scottish style roof line as well. He loved big eaves. The roof is sheathed with a single layer of 1 2 in. Steeper pitched metal roofs typically do not require much overhang because snow and ice slides off the smooth surface so easily.

1 to effectively close off the space between the rafter feet. Installed a new fully adhered membrane to the top of the old board sheathing prior to adding all that rigid insulation. The traditional large overhang associated with most thatched roofs provided excellent protection to the heads of doors and windows below. Plywood and has no overhangs and hence no eaves for ventilation.

There is also no gutter in the detail so you will be effectively routing rain down your wall.
