Standard Dormers & Louvers
Copper, Zinc, Aluminum and Steel - Made to Order
K&M Sheet Metal specializes in the custom manufacturing of dormers and louvers.
Metal Dormers, which are commonly build out of materials that can be soldered such as copper, are structural elements of buildings that project from the slope
of the roof surface.
Louvered dormers are commonly used for HVAC, exhaust plenums or simply for decoration. Window dormers are normally added to create extra usable space in a
roof structure along with the ability to allow for ventilation and light.
Copper, Zinc, Lead Coated Copper, Freedom Gray and even Stainless Steel and Galvanized Steel are preferably used for the manufacturing of these
items since such metals can be soldered, allowing for long lasting joints. Galvanized Steel eventually rusts, and Stainless Steel may be too reflective,
which is one of the reasons why copper is the most popular material for dormers.

FAQs
Are there any pre made profiles available?
At the present moment, we have some standard profiles/dimensions available, but we also custom manufacture these items.
Can dormers be ordered in any roof pitch?
Sort of. The shallower the pitch, the longer, pricier and more intricate a dormer gets. Steeper pitches are the opposite.
Are aluminum and steel a suitable material for a dormer?
Yes, although anything that can be soldered is optimal for log lasting water tight joints.
What are the names of popular copper dormers?
There are many types of dormers, most commonly: half round dormers, eyebrow dormers, gable dormers, louver dormers, ornamental dormers, wall dormers, shed dormers, ridge dormers etc.
What the most popular louver shapes?
Louvers can be manufactured in pretty much any feasible shape. Common profiles include: square louvers, rectangular, triangular, oval, round and and half round louvers.
