Often used as an alternative to a flat roofing system, a curved roof is usually attached to a taller exterior wall. It forms an arch that can go from a low slope to a more rounded peak, allowing for water runoff while adding value to architectural interest. A curved roof can be used for various home features, such as an addition or wing, an arched entrance, or an entire building. Due to its natural bent shape, this roofing type often requires a flexible metal material. A curved roof was first seen in the 1920s as covering for barn sheds, which allowed farmers to maximize hay storage in their barn lofts. As a result, many curved roof barns became popular in the Midwest. Curved roofs called Quonset huts were even adopted during World War II to house barracks, medical facilities, mess halls, and more. |
