Roof questions.

[Brandon Whitmore]

I can't think of the name of this construction detail-- this rounded dormer (roof side of a barrel vault). I know I've read the name of it on this site.......... What is it?

The metal roof does not appear to be properly detailed or flashed to me. The roofing just continues down under the roofing and acts as the flashing. It looks to me like water can just seep right down into the sheathing. Also, the screws are putting holes through the flashing (it only sticks out about 3" onto the roof sheathing if that).

I would think this area would at least be a good candidate for ice/ water shield.

What do y'all think..........

Someone's modern version of an eyebrow dormer. That should extend at least 18" out from that sucker or have some ice and weather shield installed out to about 18inches around dthe perimeter.

OT - OF!!!

I swear someone like Bill had some fancy name for it.

I was surprised to see roof sheathing that looked pristine. The pic is taken near the upper side though............ (no visible leaks inside yet).

It's a hooded dormer. Way up North they're sometimes called bonneted dormers.

An eyebrow dormer is shaped, well - like an eyebrow.

Thanks Bill,

I think it was "bonneted dormer" I have heard/ read somewhere.

I found an article in JLC calling it a "curved-top dormer." The author was from Bloomington, IL.

that's a BEER barrel dormer with Beer being the keyword in the installation process
