[Shane Pouch]

Hello to all,

What is the technical name for the decorative metal objects in the photo?

Thanks,

[Scott Patterson]

I call them dormers.

[Billy Stephens]

FUGLY ! :D

Fugly dormers that will leak

[Shane Pouch]

Okay, I know they are "fugly".

But I am looking for a more specific name than dormer. I believe they have a name different than dormer, but I just can't remember what it was that I had heard once upon a time.

I am going to go with mansard dormer. Maybe not accurate, but descriptive.

Mansard style dormer.................................... The architect liked them. :o

[Rod Butler]

A modified cupola would be the correct answer.

[Gunnar Alquist]

A modified cupola would be the correct answer.

I will disagree. A cupola is at the peak.

I will disagree. A cupola is at the peak.


Hence the modified. :)

Even if they have a name, nobody know it, so 'fugly metal dormers', would have to do. Otherwise, using the correct name just makes you a smart ss. :)
