Gendarme-hat skylight

Unique, elegant charm for the roof of your home.

Both a source of light and an opening to the outside world, windows are truly the “eyes” of a home, and as such deserve special care in their dressing.

WESER’s Chapeau de Gendarme dormer features a curved roof, similar to an antique hat, with soft, rounded lines. Particularly aesthetically pleasing, it lets all the light in from the rooms under the roof and is perfect for admiring the full height of the landscape, unlike a roof window. So not only does it add visual appeal and architectural charm to the home, it also creates additional usable space under the roof, such as a bedroom or office.

Gendarme-hat dormer: elegance and functionality

The gendarme-hat dormer adds character to traditional homes. Its curved roof, inspired by old-fashioned headdresses, adds a touch of elegance. It also allows generous amounts of natural light into the attic space.

The right proportions for every roof

For harmonious integration, each dormer must be proportionate to the roof and facade. WESER designs its models with these architectural balances in mind. As a result, they blend in perfectly with both classic and contemporary styles.

Gendarme Hat Dormer: Simplified installation

WESER dormers are made up of several components: sill, jambs, lintel and pediment. Their standardized dimensions make them easy to integrate with different types of joinery. An interlocking, gluing and keying system ensures fast, precise assembly. An expanding gasket is also supplied for optimum insulation. Laying advice

Handling and safety

To facilitate handling, all elements except the sill are fitted with lifting anchors. Their weight sometimes requires special equipment during installation. This precaution ensures safe, risk-free installation for workers.

Durability and low maintenance

Made from reconstituted stone, WESER skylights are stained and waterproofed throughout. This design guarantees long-lasting colorfastness and requires no special maintenance.

An attractive, durable choice

A WESER gendarme-hat dormer combines tradition and modernity. It enhances your roof, while improving interior light. Installation is affordable, and its longevity ensures a long-term investment.
