There are a variety of dormers to choose from based on the design of your home. However, they all increase the curb appeal and value of your property. Ottawa Home Pros believes that including windows for roofs could enhance your home’s architectural charm and lighting. Here are a few advantages of installing a dormer in your home.
Bring Visual Appeal to Your Home
A dormer can break down a standard roofline with an appealing design. These also provide additional perspectives for viewing the outdoors. They also could make the inside space more attractive by adding window seats and other decor elements. Dormers can often return almost three-quarters of their value when you decide to sell your house later.
Include Lighting for the Interior
Dormers added to cathedral ceilings can provide great light to spaces. Dormers can also be extremely useful to add natural light when making an attic or a higher floor area into a living room.
Additional Ventilation
A dormer window on the second floor can provide natural airflow, removing the warm and stuffy air before fresh air gets introduced to the bottom below. These also provide air circulation to the upper floors with windows that are smaller or have no windows.
More Headroom and Space
A larger dormer, also called a shed dormer, could extend to the roofline, creating plenty of extra space and headroom for the smaller areas of the upper floors.
Adding a View Room
If your home gets situated with a popular view, the upper floors might not be able to share the idea. It is possible to change that by installing the addition of a dormer or several dormers that make these upper floors attractive as living areas.
Include an Emergency Exit
If you want to expand your living spaces on higher floors, you might find adding an emergency exit difficult. A dormer window and a storable chain or rope ladder could solve this issue and permit an emergency exit if the main staircase is not accessible.
