Cathedral (gable) roof
A peaked sunroom roof that rises to a ridge, giving a tall vaulted ceiling instead of a single flat slope.
What it means for you
The more dramatic, open-feeling option — higher ceilings and often a transom of glass up top. It costs more than a studio roof and adds height and structure, so it's as much an architectural choice as a comfort one.
Where you'll see it
The upgrade roof style on a sunroom quote.
