Instruction
1. Think over where there will be window and what will be its size. The location of future window is influenced by several factors. First, it is future arrangement of furniture: that is in advance define as well as where sunlight has to fall. Secondly, the arrangement of rafters has significant effect. The fact is that on rafters all roof keeps, as a matter of fact, therefore, establishing dormer-windows, try to file as little as possible rafters, otherwise you reduce durability of load-carrying structure. As for the box height (this indicator is decisive at dormer-window dimensioning), the following rule works here: length of window has to keep within the whole quantity of rows of tile or other roofing material.
2. In instructions to roofing windows the exact sizes of aperture in roofs are specified. Transfer these sizes to roof inside (rafters and grids) where installation of dormer-window is planned.
3. Before filing rafters, surely strengthen their upper and lower part. For this purpose beat auxiliary beams which length would be 20 centimeters more than height of aperture to load-carrying structure and exactly on as much acted from under windowsill. Hammer nails into this temporary support and prop up it eaves boards.
4. Remove roofing material. If you have tile roof, do it very accurately as the removed tile will be used for laying around dormer-window subsequently. Depending on material choose suitable tools. In case work with tiled roof as chisel: beat off cement until the tile tile does not begin to be loosened then accurately remove tile and clean it from cement. Then pincers pull out old wind hooks. If the rooftop is covered by sheet roof, then several sheets are required or to remove, or to cut in one of them I will eat.
5. Cut through roofing aperture. After that remove shutter from dormer-window (it you not only prevent glass dissecting, but also facilitate process of mounting of roofing window).
6. By means of fixing corners screw box on rafters.
