A flat roof has a slope of 1 8 per foot to 2 12. It has a greater slope. Houses have gable hipped mansard gambrel flat and shed roofs.

Basically a slanted roof style is a flat roof tilted high up at one edge to create a very steep slope. It s similar to a shed or lean to roof or a clerestory roof but has one visible difference. It s quite common for example to see a hipped roof with gable dormers.
