What is a "saltbox roof"?
A saltbox roof is a type of roof design characterized by two sloping sides, where one side is longer than the other, creating an asymmetrical appearance. This style is often associated with colonial architecture and resembles the shape of a traditional saltbox, which was used for storing salt. The longer slope typically extends to the ground, while the shorter slope is usually higher and creates an overhang. Saltbox roofs are practical for shedding rain and snow, and they provide additional interior space, making them popular in regions with heavy snowfall. This roof style adds charm and character to a building's overall design.
