                One of the most prominent parts of a house is the roofing. Luxury homes in Las Vegas usually stand out from other regular homes because they have marvelous roofing styles. Here are some of the most commonly used roofing styles for luxury homes in Las Vegas:

Flat Roof

                This is a type of roof that is actually horizontal or nearly horizontal. A roof can have up to 10° incline and still be considered flat. This is usually seen on commercial or corporate buildings. Its contemporary style is one of the reasons why it is adapted in luxury homes.

Arched Roof

                An arched roof is a roofing style designed to form an arch just like that of a curve. It is not typically used in a normal home design because it is requires more skill and cost to execute. Arched roofing uses unconventional roofing materials, which is the reason why it is commonly seen in luxury homes.

Hip Roof

                This is a common style of roofing. All the sides of this roof are slightly sloped. Hip roofing could be compared to a pyramid, except it has lower degree of sloping and it is rectangular in nature. It means that two sides of the hip roof are triangular while the other two sides are trapezoidal. Hip roofing may be easy on the eyes, but its construction is quite complex which is another reason that it is often used in luxury home construction.

Cross Gable Roof

                Gable roof is a double-slope roofing that forms a gable at each end. A cross gable type of roofing is achieved if a house structure has at least three gables that intersect. A gable is the triangular portion of a wall that is located in a dual-pitched roof. This type of roofing is one of the most aesthetically pleasing roofing styles which is why it is used in luxury homes. It gives a classic look and feel to the house.
