Dormers

Natural light plays a crucial role in creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in any home. The dormer solution is the best alternative to a traditional dormer and an effective way to usher more light to your home.

Dormers provide an elegant solution for those looking to increase the amount of space and natural light entering their loft space while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of their home.

What are dormer windows?

Dormer windows, or dormers, are windows that protrude from the plane of a sloping roof surface.

A traditional dormer consists of a window and roof combination, which significantly protrudes from the main roof structure. What sets VELUX dormers apart from traditional dormers is the exclusive use of windows. This innovative solution brings more natural light into the room and gives a streamlined appearance to your home’s exterior.

The magic of VELUX dormer windows

VELUX products are renowned for their exceptional quality, durability, and functionality. Our dormer solutions come with a myriad of benefits, helping transform a dark, cramped loft into a bright, airy space. Here are three key benefits of VELUX dormers:

1. Expand your space
   VELUX dormer windows can provide your loft with much-needed headroom, making the space feel more spacious and comfortable. This additional space can make all the difference, especially in smaller lofts.
   
   
2. Enhance ventilation
   Our dormer solutions don't just let in light; they also improve ventilation. This can make your loft a much healthier and more comfortable environment, whether you’re converting it into a bedroom, bathroom or home office.
   
   
3. Install without a permit
   Before you install a dormer window, it's important to check if you need planning permission. In most situations, however, the VELUX dormer can be installed without a permit as it does not protrude further than 60 cm from the roof surface.
