Slate & Tiling
Dormers
There are many styles and types of dormer, from small windows to large extensions, but the difference in construction is generally one of scale.
Windows: vertical windows set into, and projecting from a gable ( ? ) roof. The dormer frame spans the width between supporting rafter. They need to be sympathetically designed to form an attractive and stylish addition to the roof, internally and externally.
Extensions: larger, longer roof extensions with vertical sides/cheeks extending to the floor. A structural element such as steel I-beam (RSJ) is used to support the dormer roof section.
