The house with a veranda on the roof is a wonderful and original way of expanding the living space due to the area that was not previously used. The veranda on the roof is a rather unusual and beautiful building, but it requires careful study even at the design stage, since the design of the house should be strengthened and designed for additional workload.
Also, you should carefully approach the issue of waterproofing the structure by selecting the appropriate systems and materials for this.
Features of the construction of the verandas on the roof
The summer terrace on the roof, unlike the terrace, is closed on all sides by the structure, so it is desirable for its construction to select modern lightweight materials that do not weight the design. To ensure that it does not look like an additional floor, the walls and roofs of the building can be designed to be transparent, use French windows for the interior, and choose plastic, siding or light wood panels covered with antiseptic, stain and lacquer compositions as the main building material.
If the veranda on the roof is fully opened, in the form of a terrace , you should think about the drainage system and design a wall of small height or railing, for safety. Also, the floor must be made of waterproof materials. As a protection against bad weather, you can use a stretcher.
A very rational and practical solution will be the installation of such verandahs on the roof of the cottage, as, as a rule, the suburban areas are not large and the buildings are also built, so this structure will allow you to purchase a place where you can relax, sunbathe, and even have tea with neighbors or friends in the evenings .
If a veranda is erected on the roof of a house that was built some time ago, then its additional strengthening may be required.
