A dormer is a window set vertically projecting from a sloping roof. They transform your loft into a far more useable area by letting a good source of light and ventilation and by increasing the amount of headroom.
The main types of dormer window are:-
› Gable fronted dormer - the front of dormer rises to a point at the ridge of the dormer roof.
› Hipped roof dormer - roof slopes back from front of the structure to a point further back.
› Flat roof dormer - roof of the dormer is flat.
Dormer conversions are ideal for when the existing loft space is limited or is of insufficient size for the proposed conversion. If an additional bathroom is proposed along with the rooms, the increased height created by the dormer provides additional height above the fittings.
