What are the eaves?

eaps are a horizontal part of the roof that extends beyond the outer wall of the structure. The crest connection between the shields or the shelter roof and the outer wall is called the rake. Building gutters provides buildings protection. The overlap created by the eaves prevents rain, snow and other remnants directly down the side of the building and causes damage to the lift or foundation. In the Dutch colonial houses with the lower tips of the enlarged roof ocavals, they curl up and away from the roof and create a silhouette reminiscent of traditional Dutch caps. Frank Lloyd Wright used sweeping, extended gutters on his residential houses in the style of prairies to create smooth lines seemingly connected to the Earth. The traditional Asian architecture of Zhou took advantage of the elongated sloping gutter building.

There are four basic types of eaves: exposed, conquered, boxes and shortened. In the exposed eye is the completed underside of the roofand her support rafters visible from below. Suffited Eave adds a surface or pliable plate that connects the lower tip of the noswa with the side of the building at an angle of 90 degrees. This creates a smooth surface when viewed from below. Boxed-in Eave also closes the roof rafters when viewed from below, but meets the side of the building at the same angle as the roof itself. The shortened eave is cut off almost perpendicular to the side of the house.

Eave details for exposed, conquered and boxing gutters include air openings that prevent excessive focus during warm weather and condensation leading to rot during cold/wet weather. The flicker of plowing is installed under the roof material and wrapped over the boundary to prevent wind and water damage. This is particularly important where the edges of the eye meet Gable or Rake.

Over time, the word eave also meant a closed space between the penetration of the roof with the inner and outer walls of the building. This occurs in buildings where part of the ceiling or the whole partThe ceiling rather parallel than perpendicular to the roof - creates an oblique ceiling - which at some point is terminated by a partial wall called knees. The space between the knee wall and the outer wall is commonly called eaves and is most often used for storage. This type of eave is common in traditional houses in New England Cape and Farmhouse Style.
