Gable

Home / Glossary

A gable is a type of triangular wall that is formed by the two sloping sides of a roof. A gable is typically found at the end of a building, where the roof meets a vertical wall. The shape of the gable is formed by the slope of the roof and the vertical wall below it, and it is commonly used in a variety of architectural styles, including traditional, modern, and contemporary.

The gable is an important architectural element that can have both functional and aesthetic benefits. Functionally, the gable helps to direct rain and other precipitation away from the building and into the gutters, preventing water damage to the building’s structure. The triangular shape of the gable also allows for greater vertical clearance inside the building, making it possible to create more usable space in the attic or upper floors.

Aesthetically, the gable can be used to create a distinctive and attractive roofline, adding visual interest and variety to a building’s design. Gables can be decorated with a variety of architectural features, including dormer windows, decorative trusses, and other embellishments.

Overall, the gable is an important architectural feature that provides both functional and aesthetic benefits to a building. It is a common design element that can be found in a wide range of building styles, from historic homes to modern office buildings.
