Dormer Windows for Modern Loft Conversions and Roof Spaces

Our dormer windows feature high-quality materials and our installation services use the best construction techniques. As a result, we deliver long-lasting dormer windows to suit most budgets that also add greater energy-efficiency and security.

A dormer window sticks out of a roof, usually from a box or frame-like structure protruding from the top. The structure is an architecture detail that people call a ‘dormer’, and most dormers contain windows. They are useful for loft conversions and new roof window designs.

Installing dormer windows can add valuable natural light to roof spaces. We are experts in the supply and installation of dormer windows in the south-east of the UK and can provide a free quote. Contact us today for more information.

Benefits of Dormer Windows

Dormer windows can work with a variety of window types, including many of our UPVC windows. Most dormers can benefit from casement windows, as they can fit smaller window frames easily and have a flush design. However, it is also possible for sliding sash windows and tilt and turn windows to work as well.

Aside from extra natural light, benefits of our dormer windows include the following:

• Headroom: A dormer window provides a lot more headspace in a pitched roof. The small box shape of the dormer allows for a lot more walkable space in loft conversions. Large Velux windows can also have railing attachments for extra safety.
• Energy-efficiency: Roof spaces are notorious for leaking heat and air. Our double-glazed windows provide the modern benefits of greater energy-efficiency, which helps regulate temperature and lower fuel costs.
• Ventilation: Roof spaces become much hotter than the rest of a building, especially in summer. Our dormer windows are easy to open and close fully and offer excellent ventilation.
• Security: There can be issues of security in dormer windows, especially when they are on a partially flat roof. However, the sturdy glazing in our window designs and robust locking mechanisms do not compromise on safety.
• Flexibility: There are many colour finishes and design options, it is also possible to add dormer windows of different sizes in a single installation. They can also be flush or recessed according to your needs.
• Costs: By using our UPVC window designs you can get amazing windows at a low cost. UPVC frames costs much less to manufacture than timber or metal, so you can get great contemporary designs at a lower cost.

Essentially, dormer windows make a roof space liveable and functional. They are ideal for bedrooms, conversions and living rooms on higher floors. Our windows add the benefits of modern double-glazing and are suitable for both large and small window frames.

Do Dormer Windows Need Planning Permission?

It can be difficult to navigate the various building controls and planning laws when it comes to home improvements, but we can guide you through any issues. Usually, it is only necessary to obtain planning permission when installing new dormers on the front of the house. 

If there are existing dormers at the front of a building you do not normally need planning permission to replace the dormer windows. If the construction of new dormers at the rear of a building is necessary this does not normally require planning permission. However, it is advisable to check with your local authority.
