Roof components refer to the various parts that make up a roof system in a building. These can include:
1. Roof decking: The surface layer of the roof that provides structural support for the roofing materials. It can be made of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB).
2. Underlayment: A layer of material, such as felt paper, that is installed between the roof decking and the roofing material to provide a barrier against water and moisture.
3. Flashing: Metal or plastic sheeting that is used to seal the intersections and penetrations in the roof, such as around vents, chimneys, and skylights.
4. Roofing material: The surface layer of the roof that is visible and provides protection from the elements. Common roofing materials for residential roofs include asphalt shingles, clay or concrete tiles, and metal, or wooden shakes or shingles.
5. Ridge cap shingles: A layer of shingles that are applied along the peak or ridge of the roof to add extra protection from water penetration.
6. Roof ventilation: Vents installed along the peak or near the eaves of the roof to allow for airflow in the attic and to reduce the risk of moisture buildup and mold.
7. Gutter and downspout: A system of channels and pipes that collect and redirect rainwater from the roof.
These are the most common components found in residential roofs, but depending on the type of roof, the climate, and the building design, some additional features may be included.
