Dachowy

Dachowy is a Polish adjective describing things related to the roof or attic. It is formed from the noun dach (roof) with the adjectival suffix -owy and agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies (dachowy, dachowa, dachowe). The term is used across architectural, construction, and real estate contexts to label components, spaces, or systems associated with a roof.

In practical use, dachowy describes elements such as pokrycie dachowe (roof covering) and konstrukcja dachowa (roof structure). It can also apply to features of upper-storey or attic areas, where relevant, for example in descriptions of spaces within a building’s roof zone.

The word is commonly found in technical language as well as everyday speech. Related terms include dachówka (roof tile) and phrases involving roof-related design or construction. When referring to attic living spaces, speakers more often use poddasze or mieszkanie na poddaszu, though dachowy is still understood as relating to the roof.
