Roof lantern Almere, for a city full of young homes

For a roof lantern in Almere, you go with DagLichtDesign straight to the workshop where it is made. In short: the roof lantern is made to measure in Barneveld, about 60 km from Almere, and you collect it by appointment or have it delivered on an agreed date. You have the quote within 24 hours. Installation is down to your own contractor, unless you bring in the installation partner, which is possible on request.

Almere: almost everything built after 1976

The first residents moved to Almere Haven in 1976. Almere Stad and Almere Buiten followed, and later Almere Poort, Almere Hout and Oosterwold. Virtually every home in the city is therefore less than fifty years old. You will not find canal houses or 1930s homes here, but you will find many terraced and semi-detached houses from the 1980s and 1990s.

Many of these homes are now due their first major renovation. A rear extension with a mono-pitch roof lantern is the most common step. Older extensions often still have a plastic rooflight dome. A mono-pitch roof lantern can take its place, see replacing a rooflight dome with a roof lantern.

• 1980s or 1990s terraced house: mono-pitch on the extension
• Extension with an old dome: mono-pitch as replacement
• Self-build on a private plot: include it in the design
• Large extension or studio: hipped, up to 9 m² in one piece

Almere Poort, Homeruskwartier and self-build

Almere Poort has been built since the mid-2000s, with many new family houses. In the Homeruskwartier and in Oosterwold, private individuals build their own homes on private plots. There, a roof lantern can often be included in the design from the start, rather than added later.

If you work with an architect, they can request a CAD file of the roof lantern. More on that is in roof lanterns for architects. If you plan the roof lantern as part of the build itself, also read including a roof lantern in a new build. The frame comes in any RAL colour, so it matches the façade you choose.

Roof lantern Almere: delivery in a spacious city

Almere is laid out more spaciously than most old cities, with wide roads and residential streets that a van or lorry can easily reach. That makes delivery relatively simple. The city does lie in the open polder, though, where the wind has free rein. So plan the lifting for a calm day and follow the safety instructions in the installation manual.

Delivery takes place on an agreed date, see roof lantern delivery in the Netherlands. Collecting it in Barneveld is also possible, via the A6 and the A1, with no shipping costs. Contractors from Flevoland order at trade prices from the very first project, with no threshold or minimum.
