While not commonly used in the United States for roofing purposes, bamboo has a long history of use in other parts of the world. Bamboo is one of the greenest, most sustainable materials on Earth.

Unlike Western roofing designs, the typical Chinese roofing system allows the weight of the tile and roof to be distributed through the wooden frame and not on load bearing walls.

The roof may be the last part of our homes that we show our guests, but it is definitely not the least part that can draw attention and beauty to the external physique of our house. Aside from being an important part of the household, our roof can also add style and elegance to our dream house.
