Zinc dormer structures are growing in popularity for both domestic and commercial properties. This style of roof was more typical for residential homes until recently. More businesses are beginning to take advantage of dormers using metal materials such as Zinc.
A Zinc dormer is the same as a standard residential dormer in many respects. This roof style is common for creating extra living space to your property. More are turning to dormers to convert their attic space into a liveable area. Another advantage is adding extra light to residential and commerical properties. This can also improve the general structure and interior of your roof.
What Is A Zinc Dormer?
A Zinc or any other type of dormer usually contains a window inside the structure. This is common on roofs with pitches but can also be a feature of a flat roof. Usually a dormer projects vertically from the plane of a roof pitch. The beauty of a dormer is that it´s possible to add at any time. It´s not necessary to include in the orginal plans of your roof structure. A dormer can be added to most existing residential roofs or commercial buildings. Again, this is very common for converting a standard roof to provide extra living space.
