Traditionally, dormers were used to provide ventilation and light to bedrooms located in the attic of a pitched-roof building. These days, they offer the same advantages: air, light, and the creation of usable space or the enhancement of existing space. Here are some tips for making the most of dormer windows constructed by ProBuild Lancaster and everything you need to know about them.
Boost Ventilation And Light Levels
Similar to the bay window, the dormer window has been converted into a cosy bench or daybed, offering further sitting options in the living room as well as a place to lounge or lie in the sun. The louvres allow for controlled ventilation, and the dormer’s height when it reaches the roof’s pitch makes the room much lighter and airier than it would have been otherwise.
Make More Room That Can Be Used
In a similar vein, more of this roof space can be used as a kitchen thanks to the dormer on a bungalow. What once felt and looked cramped is now roomy, and a huge kitchen with plenty of space to move around is made possible.
Make More Headroom
The dormer window created by ProBuild Lancaster further increases the amount of usable space in this bathroom. The dormer provides headroom above the bathtub, and a small bathtub neatly fits into the area underneath where the wall and pitched roof meet.
Make The Area Above The Steps Brighter
In addition to letting natural light and air into the roof space, a dormer window over a staircase filters both onto the level below.
Make A Work Area Brighter
A desk or work area might be illuminated by a dormer window in a bedroom or home office. This implies that a desk can be placed butt against the dormer in a bedroom or that a study or similar space can be added to an attic or loft.
Make A Bay Window
Because it protrudes outside the wall, a wide dormer on a bungalow can resemble a bay window. Several dormer windows can be added for light and space, and the roof space can be renovated to create two bedrooms and a children’s rumpus room. Children can read, unwind, and play in a pleasant environment thanks to a cushioned seat.
Establish A Reading Nook
Children can hide away, read, or play in this small reading nook.
Windows might lose a lot of heat in the winter because they receive relatively little direct sunlight throughout the year. Dormers built by ProBuild Lancaster will be a useful option since they minimise heat loss while allowing cross ventilation.
