Roof lantern veranda cost: what you pay for

Roof lantern veranda cost: the connection to the wall

A veranda is a covered terrace directly against the house. That is why much of the roof lantern veranda cost comes down to one detail: the connection to the wall. A wall-abutting lean-to roof lantern connects on the high side to a taller wall, with a wall connection profile and an EPDM lead replacement or a zinc flashing. Which of the two depends on your wall.

Brickwork, timber cladding, render, sand-lime brick or concrete panels: for each wall type we supply the right connection profile. The wall-abutting lean-to comes made to measure, including upstand and connection profiles. You can read how it differs from a standard mono-pitch in mono-pitch or wall-abutting lean-to.

• Wall-abutting lean-to from €1,689, with upstand and profiles
• Connection profile to suit brick, timber, render or concrete
• Thermally broken aluminium frame
• Overhead light and side light in one roof lantern

Sun on the veranda: budget for shading

A veranda often faces south or west, because that is where you want to sit outside. Under a south-facing glass roof it gets warm quickly on a summer day. That is why we advise solar control glass or sun shading for a south-facing veranda. Include it in your budget from the start, so you are not caught out later.

Solar control glass is part of the glazing unit, so it needs no extra fitting. A screen or pleated blind is a separate investment, but you can open and close it. Read solar control glass in a roof lantern and a screen for your roof lantern to compare the two.

What does the rest of the veranda cost?

The roof lantern is only part of a veranda. You need a structure of posts and beams, sometimes a foundation, a gutter and possibly lighting or glass sliding walls. A complete veranda can run roughly from a few thousand euros to well over €10,000, depending on size and specification. That is a rough market indication, not our price. Always ask a contractor or veranda builder for a quote.

Your own contractor fits it, or on request our regular installation partner. That installation then appears as a separate line in the quote. Every delivery comes with a printed and digital installation manual, and your contractor can call us on weekdays from 7:00 to 17:00 with questions.

• A structure that carries the weight of the glass
• Drainage to a gutter or downpipe
• Any sun shading or lighting
• Check with your municipality about a permit for the veranda

From veranda to garden room

If you want to enclose the veranda with glass walls later, it becomes an indoor space. Then insulation does matter. Triple glazing has a U-value of about 0.5 W/m²K, against about 1.1 W/m²K for HR++. The quote shows them side by side. If you are already thinking about that step, read roof lanterns for conservatories and garden rooms. More about this application is in a roof lantern on a veranda.
