A monitor roof is a raised superstructure that runs along the ridge of a double-pitched roof. With its long sides, property owners can install clerestory windows or louvers to help boost lighting and air circulation within a building. Monitor roofs that run the full length of a building are uncommon on residential properties; instead, they are commonly found in warehouses, barns, and factories, where maximizing additional light from windows at a greater height can be useful. Clerestories built this way can also accommodate vents. Most of the time, the materials covering the main roof are also used on these monitor structures. |
