Posted on December 31, 2024 at 10:40 am | Uncategorized
If you’re not familiar with roofing terminology you may have heard the term “dormer” and not been sure exactly what it means. Your roof may even have a dormer and you don’t know it! At its most basic, a dormer is a small structure that protrudes from the roof and typically contains a window. It may be a window for an upstairs bedroom or just add some aesthetic value to the look of the roof.
The most common type of dormer is a gable dormer. They feature a roof with a peak and slopes on either side. They can be used with a variety of home architectural styles including craftsman, tudor and colonial. Gabled dormers often match the look and style of the rest of the roof.
Dormers provide various benefits including:
– Increased natural light
– Improved ventilation
– Extra room or headscape
– Emergency exits
– Additional style and interest on the home’s exterior
