What is a "dormer window"?
A dormer window is a type of window that projects outward from a sloped roof, creating extra space and light in the upper areas of a building. It is usually set in its own small roof, which can be flat, curved, or angled, depending on the design. Dormer windows are commonly used in attics or lofts to add headroom and ventilation, while also enhancing the building’s exterior appearance by breaking up the roofline. They are both functional and decorative, contributing to the overall design of the house.
