A dormer is a vertical window in the roof that helps to lighten up the attic. This type of windows appeared for the first time in France in the Gothic period. In the past dormers were richly decorated. Nowadays, they are larger than their baroque predecessors and mostly play a practical role.
A dormer is a highly accentuated and a very distinctive element of the house that influences the look of the building to a large extent. A well-matched dormer can be a house decoration so it is worth to make sure it is coherent with the body of the building.
Dormers are a great solution for steep roofs with high knee walls. A dormer is not only a simple and aesthetic way to illuminate the attic, but also an investment that will surely pay off.
Do you want to change the look of your attic? Do you want to turn your attic into a place where you could gladly invite your friends over? Or maybe you do not know how to choose the best matching shape of a dormer or the size of dormer windows? We will happily help you with this as well!
Advantages of installing a dormer:
Better lighting of the attic.
Increasing the amount of solar light “falling” inside the room.
Gaining additional headspace (thanks to the fact that the roof over the dormer is elevated).
More functional character of rooms.
Better-looking façade of the building.
Remember!
The outer look of a dormer should be adjusted to the shape and the size of the body of the building. When choosing such architectural solution, one must take into consideration the pitch and the slope of the roof.

Nowadays, the construction industry most often uses prefabricated elements – it applies either to concrete, hollow blocks or roofs. These days, it would be very difficult to imagine that the particular components are manufactured at the construction site. The technological progress and the computerisation of production processes have resulted in the fact that the above-mentioned elements are now manufactured in specialised plants from where they are later delivered to the construction site at the most convenient time.
It is worth knowing that the prefabrication of rafter framing is a technology, which is highly popular in the well-developed countries such as France or Sweden (about 90% of roof structures are made in that way). Prefabricated roof structures made from solid timber joined with the help of nail connector plates by Mitek are also widely used in the Czech Republic, United States or Canada.
The prefabrication technology of trusses joined by nail plates produced by the company Mitek is the best solution for the construction of residential superstructures. Prefabricated trusses are light and they only slightly weigh down the roof and the foundations of the existing building. The bottom chord of the truss may independently transfer the load to the outer walls. In addition, the fact that the truss construction can be shaped in various ways helps to adjust the body of the superstructure into the surroundings of the building.
