VELUX dormer

The VELUX dormer transform spaces with a dramatic increase in natural daylight and an amazing feeling of openness. This innovative alternative to traditional dormers lifts the window out of the roof, increasing usable space while creating a bright and airy atmosphere.

Whereas a traditional dormer consists of a window and roof combination, the VELUX dormer uses windows in place of the roof. This provides much more natural light into the room. The VELUX dormer is available with 4 or 6 roof windows.

The VELUX dormer can be installed without a permit in most situations as the dormer does not protrude further than 60 cm from the roof surface.

Suitable for roof pitches: 35° to 75°

  • Up to 2.5 times more daylight compared to a traditional dormer with same glazing area
  • Can be installed in just one day (excluding preparations and interior finish)
  • Comes ready for easy installation of VELUX sun protection products and VELUX shutters

VELUX mini dormer

A VELUX mini dormer solution is an easy way to increase the useable area under your attic, creating a big impact with a boost of natural light and space.

The mini dormer lifts the roof windows out of the roof at a 10° angle. It is available with 1,2 or 3 roof windows installed side by side for maximum impact.

Suitable for roof pitches: 10° to 75°

  • Up to 50% more daylight compared to a traditional dormer with same glazing area
  • Can be installed in just one day (excluding preparations and interior finish)
  • Comes ready for easy installation of VELUX sun protection products and VELUX shutters

Customise your dormer

This dormer window is largely made by the contractor himself, with the exception of the VELUX roof windows that are used in this type of dormer. This gives extra flexibility in dimensions of the dormer and is custom-made. Read more on customized dormers with VELUX roof windows
