Dormer

Home / Glossary

A dormer is a structural element that protrudes from the sloping roof of a building, typically containing a window and sometimes used to provide additional headroom or usable space in the attic or upper floor of the building.

Dormers come in many different styles, but they generally consist of a roof, walls, and a window or windows. The roof of a dormer is often pitched, similar to the main roof of the building, and may be covered with the same roofing material. The walls of a dormer may be clad with siding, stucco, or other materials that match the rest of the building’s exterior.

Dormers can serve several purposes. In addition to providing additional space and light to upper floors, dormers can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a building by adding visual interest to the roofline. Dormers can be particularly useful in buildings with steeply pitched roofs, where headroom and usable floor space may be limited.

Dormers can be added to existing buildings as part of a renovation or expansion project, or they can be included in the design of a new building. The design and placement of dormers can have a significant impact on the overall look and functionality of a building, so careful consideration should be given to their design and placement.
