NandM Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I'd really like to have a fully brick/block dormer. The right hand side will be part of the gable wall, so that's easy. The front could be built off the beam, so should be straight forward...but I'm at a loss as to how the left hand side a) could be supported (400mm wide) and b) built at an incline. The load baring wall on the first floor could be used, and maybe some cross beam between Beam 5 and 4. It sounds like it could be a cold-bridging nightmare and safer/easier (and a little cheaper) to go with timber & clay tiles....unless I'm missing something obvious.

Canski Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I've seen this problem overcome with stud work and brick slips glued to plywood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NandM Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Thanks Canski - I'll see if I can find slips to match, otherwise it'll have to be timber with clay tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use the bricks you are going to use and send them to a brick cutting service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
