Usually windows in the roof are installed if it has two or more ramps.
Varieties of skylights
Windows in the attic roof are also called auditory . They resemble small houses of various shapes. The openings can be arranged according to a single-row or multi-row principle. The more dormer windows are placed on the roof, the better the quality of the natural lighting in the attic is obtained. Their number is calculated depending on the size of the room.
Windows can be built directly into the roof plane. Metal-plastic windows, built into the sloping roof, are flat, equipped with convenient turning and lifting mechanisms, allowing them to open from the inside and fix the double-glazed window in the desired position.
Also, when making contiguities to the roof, the dormer construction is used (the window is completely located above the roof slope) and the antidormer (recessed inside and not protruding above the slope plane). Dormer - the most effective option, increases the useful area of the attic, has many modifications.
The windows in the roof are triangular, semicircular, segmented, trapezoidal, arched . In the triangular windows of the dormer there are no side piers, their role is played by roof slopes, this design is the simplest in execution. When a quadrangular frame is used, windows with one- or two-slope roofs, as well as hips, are distinguished.
Rounded frames give originality to the design, they can be performed in a variety of ways, differ in wavelength and degree of curvature. Popular models are the "bat" and "bull's eye" forms.
Sometimes superstructures using side walls and pediments outside the plane of the roof are used to connect the windows to the roof. This design is more massive, the glazing area in it is increasing.
Thanks to the windows in the attic you can arrange a children's room, studio, office, office, bedroom. In addition, they give the appearance of the house an unusual charm, decorate the facade and increase the functionality of the attic space.
