A brief description of a Dormer would be an extension of an existing
roof shape. Dormer windows extend out of the original roof and are
a way of adding headroom. Dormer windows can be the size of a single
window or they can span a sizeable chunk of the roof and contain
two or more windows. A Dormer roof is an alternative to a roofline
conversion. Consider a most typical terraced property/town house where the roof would start at the gutters at the front of the house rising to the Apex, the ridge in the centre of the house, then falling again down to the gutters at the back of the house. This most typical roof shape does not usually produce a substantial habitable room, unless the house is unusually large. So with this type of roof structure, it would be advisable to extend the roof and create a Dormer roof (usually to the rear of the property). The size, shape and general design of this or any other Dormer roof an vary greatly. Dorma &

Adding a
concrete basement will provide 50% more floor area for a typical two
storey dwelling. The ThermoneX
basement forms a rigid box structure that will support the building
of any kind of house or apartment block. The ThermoneX basement is
a dry, warm living space that can be used as an office, utility room,
workshop, games room, kids den or sauna, without compromising space
in the rest of the house. Adding a concrete basement will provide 50% more floor area for a typical two-storey dwelling. Self-builders and developers can enjoy a thermally efficient and speedy solution to increasing the home's living space with minimal cost as well as a larger garden incorporated into the plot. Compare a readymade precast concrete basement with traditional construction methodology; a traditional basement requires reinforced masonry or in-situ concrete walls plus internal plastering - plus sealing (tanking). These basements will take months to install, whereas a readymade basement manufactured from precast concrete panels can be installed in a few days. The ThermoneX basement forms a rigid box structure that will support the building of any kind of house or apartment block. The ThermoneX basement is a dry, warm living space that can be used as an office, utility room, workshop, games room, kids den or sauna, without compromising space in the rest of the house. For a basement, the wall panels and floor slabs are simply erected on site onto the foundation base. The foundation base is cast as a normal concrete slab, thicker at the edges and under any load-bearing internal walls. Walls are attached to the slab with dowel reinforcement, and sealed with a waterproof expandable grout. ThermoneX wall panels are sufficiently strong to act as earth-retaining structures. To ensure adequate drainage, all basement walls are backfilled with free-draining gravel, lying on top of a land-drain laid around the perimeter of the foundation. On a sloping site, the land drain terminates in a soakaway; on flatter ground it is fed into a sump connected to the stormwater system. The outside surface of the Thermonex panels can also be fitted with a capillary-reducing filter membrane to assist downward drainage. With the external drainage system, basements only require normal domestic heating and ventilation to keep them warm and dry. Tanking is not required. · Reinforced load-bearing
