The Purpose of Rooflines

Choosing A Roofline

No matter the house, roofs have more purpose other than just protecting the home!  With the right materials, proper drainage, and well-thought-out engineering, you can have a roof line that helps define the overall style of your home as well as make your home more energy efficient, resilient and can also create a more defined interior space.


Why are they important?

Living in Western Canada, areas that get a lot of snow often have similar-looking 'pitched' roofs. All Lindal designs are engineered to adhere to the specific snow loads of any region across Canada or around the world.

We often get questions on whether our custom homes can have flat or sloped roofs, and the answer is of course!


Energy-efficient Reasons!

There are many benefits to having a sloped or flat roof, allowing snow to accumulate on your roof can actually help to provide a kind of blanket that allows for insulation for the spaces beneath it.  Roofs like this can make for a more energy-efficient home and green home.

Your Modern Home Come to Life

Modern homes are popular now and with many homes in Canada being older, modern homes are hard to come by.

That's why building a new home is the way to go! Not only will you get a home that is unique to you and your family's needs, but you can have a modern home without needing to make updates. 

With clean lines and lower-pitched rooflines, our modern home plans make a strong architectural statement with flexible highly functional interior spaces. 

Whether building a smaller home on an infill urban lot, or on a prairie acreage, or on a mountain hillside, these beauties offer such flexibility to have signature soaring walls of glass to take in your views or the privacy of high transom windows. 

Our Modern Contemporary home designs range from small house plans to farmhouse styles, traditional-looking homes with high-pitched roofs, craftsman homes, cottages for waterfront lots, mid-century modern homes with clean lines and butterfly roofs, one level ranch homes, and country home styles with a modern feel.
