Dormers

A dormer is the glazed opening that lights the attic and articulates the roof slope. In our workshop in Verdets, at the foot of the Pyrenees, we make zinc dormers to order for roofers, carpenters and private clients who are restoring a roof or building a new one.

Each piece is drawn from your measurements: width, height, roof pitch and covering (slate, tile or zinc). We make the usual types — shed dormer, jacobine, capucine or dog-house dormer — as well as less common forms, from a drawing, a photograph or a site survey. Zinc, laid and soldered in the traditional way, protects the structure for decades and sits well with our finials, ridge cresting and other roof ornaments.

There is no standard model in stock; lead time is confirmed with the quote. Send us a drawing or a sketch at artisangirouette@gmail.com or call +33 6 71 26 37 92, and we will propose a solution suited to your project.
