What is an "eave"?
An eave is the part of a roof that hangs out over the walls of a building, extending beyond the edge. This design helps to direct rainwater away from the walls and foundation, preventing water damage. Eaves can also provide shade and protection from the sun, helping to keep the interior of the building cooler. They are typically found on both residential and commercial buildings and can be finished with decorative elements to enhance the overall look of the structure. Eaves are important for both functionality and aesthetics in architecture.
