When constructing cottages and private houses, a gable roof is most often chosen. To date, it is quite rare to find a two- or one-story house with a saddle roof. Architects believe that houses of a classical type are traditional and embody the centuries-old experience of house building. When planning settlements outside the city and suburban areas, rarely when choosing a holiday home with a gable roof.
However, all this does not mean that a house with a gable roof has any drawbacks. On the contrary, constructions of this type are distinguished by creative design and originality of construction. Such designs effectively stand out against the general background and attract remarkable attention. And the very construction of the roof is much cheaper, because the cost of the rafters system is significantly reduced.
The most common are such buildings in European countries, where the climate is similar to the Russian one.
