About our architectural dormer surrounds

We engineered out the weight, complexity, and on-site labor of traditional dormer construction.

Built as a single, monolithic element

Elegant, weatherproof, and ready for rapid installation—our dormer window architecture is crafted from a high-density, lightweight composite to replicate solid-built structures without the engineering challenges. Perfect for adding character and value to both commercial and residential properties, these surrounds turn a simple roof penetration into a powerful architectural statement.

Each dormer surround is a precision-fabricated, monolithic unit designed for a perfect fit:

  • Integrated Body: The main structure is crafted as one piece, eliminating seams and joints where water and pests can infiltrate.
  • Crisp Details: The trim, sills, and any decorative elements are integral to the design, ensuring clean, sharp lines that traditional methods can’t easily match.
  • Ready-to-Install: The unit arrives on-site fully finished, ready to be lifted and secured in place by a small crew, transforming the installation from a multi-day framing job into a simple, efficient process.

The science behind architectural freedom

Our architectural dormer surrounds are built from an advanced composite of materials engineered for a century of performance. At the core is a structural, high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, precision-cut with CNC technology for flawless geometry that matches your CAD files to the millimeter.

This core is then fully encapsulated in our signature polyurea hard coat—a high-pressure, spray-applied elastomer that creates a seamless, waterproof, and impact-resistant shell. This isn’t just a coating; it’s armor. It transforms the lightweight foam into a monolithic element with incredible structural integrity.

The exterior is an integrated, architectural-grade finish, ready for paint. This advanced construction makes our decorative dormer windows robust, elegant, and engineered to last 80-100 years with virtually zero maintenance.

Massive Dead Load

Demands expensive, over-engineered roof structures and adds significant project risk.

Long Installation Time

On-site stick framing is slow, weather-dependent, and creates a logistical nightmare of coordinating multiple trades.

A Lifetime of Problems

Wood rots and warps. Concrete cracks. Both demand constant, costly upkeep and repairs.

Limited Customization

You're limited to basic shapes. Complex designs are either impossible or will destroy your budget.

Expensive from Start to Finish

High upfront costs for labor and materials, followed by a continuous drain from maintenance and repairs.

Feather-light

Eliminates the need for costly roof reinforcement and complex structural engineering.

Rapid Installation

Arrives as a single, finished unit. Installs with a small crew, crushing timelines and labor budgets.

Superior Durability & Low Maintenance

Impervious to rot, pests, and water. A 100-year, maintenance-free lifespan.

Design Flexibility

If you can design it in CAD, we can build it. Achieve any curve, angle, or detail without limitation.

Lower Total Cost

Massive savings on labor, engineering, and equipment. Zero maintenance costs mean it's the smarter investment from day one.

Before and after

large dormer windows

Before

The Challenge: A custom home builder had a project with a large, uninspired roofline. The architect’s vision called for three prominent dormers, but the cost, structural engineering, and timeline for traditional wood framing were killing the budget and threatening to delay the entire project.

After:

The Solution: We engineered and delivered three complete, lightweight dormer surrounds, fabricated to the architect’s exact specifications. A small crew with a lift installed all three units in a single day, with no complex on-site framing or waterproofing required.

The ROI: The property’s curb appeal and perceived value skyrocketed. The dormers became the defining feature of the home, allowing the builder to list it at a premium price point. The project was completed ahead of schedule and under the initial budget for the dormers. This wasn’t just an aesthetic upgrade; it was a strategic move that maximized profitability.

How our dormers elevate your architectural value

A dormer isn’t just a window—it’s the face of your building. It’s the first and last architectural detail that defines a property’s character and communicates its value. A well-engineered dormer surround from Royal Foam instantly elevates your project from standard construction to a landmark design, setting you apart before anyone even steps inside.

  • Curb Appeal that Commands a Premium
    A powerful, monolithic dormer adds an immediate sense of permanence and high-end quality. It demonstrates an investment in superior design and detail, which builds trust with buyers and tenants alike. This isn't just an upgrade; it's an architectural signature that justifies a higher property valuation and attracts a more discerning clientele.
  • A Zero-Maintenance Asset, Not a Liability
    Forget the endless cycle of scraping, painting, and repairing rotting wood or cracked concrete. Our dormer surrounds are engineered as a single, impenetrable unit that withstands harsh weather, UV rays, and time—staying pristine year after year with zero maintenance. This incredibly low total cost of ownership is a smart, strategic investment for any commercial or residential property.
  • Custom Design for a Unique Identity

With unlimited design potential—from sleek, minimalist profiles to intricate historical replications—our architectural dormers can be tailored to align perfectly with your project's unique architectural style.

Voices of our clients

From your first idea to the final installation — our process is clear, fast, and designed to make every detail simple.

The architect’s design called for a series of complex curved dormers that would have been a nightmare to frame and waterproof on-site. Royal Foam delivered flawless, lightweight units that fit the CAD files to the millimeter. We installed four in one day. It saved us weeks on the schedule and gave the client a result that was better than we could have achieved with traditional methods. This is a game-changer for custom home building.

Donovan Mitchells

Miami Beach, FL

Value engineering is the death of great design. I was told my vision for a series of large, floating dormers was structurally impractical and too costly. Royal Foam was the partner that said ‘yes.’ Their engineering team worked with us to create these massive, yet incredibly lightweight, elements that realized the design intent perfectly without overloading the roof structure. They don’t just sell a product; they enable better architecture.
