A glass roof lantern in Amersfoort comes from the DagLichtDesign workshop approx. 25 km away, on the Donkervoorterweg in Barneveld. Via the A1 you are there in about 25 minutes. You choose: collection by appointment, or delivery on an agreed date.
Amersfoort is a city with many building periods side by side. From the medieval old town to 1930s homes, post-war terraces and new builds in Vathorst. Each period calls for a different solution. On this page you can read which roof lantern fits where, and what to arrange before you order.
Around the old town there are many homes from the early twentieth century and the 1930s. An extension to such a house often meets a higher brick rear wall. A wall-abutting lean-to roof lantern is made for exactly that: overhead and side light, with a wall connection profile plus an EPDM lead replacement or zinc flashing.
What you come across with this type of house is explained under a roof lantern in a 1930s house. If you live in or right next to the historic centre, there are often extra rules about what you may change to a building. Check with the municipality first what is allowed, before you ask for a quote.
In the 1990s neighbourhoods such as Kattenbroek and Nieuwland, and in Vathorst, there are many terraced and semi-detached houses. A rear extension is a popular renovation there. With a mid-terrace house the party wall plays a role; read about that under a roof lantern on a mid-terrace house.
For a typical extension, a mono-pitch roof lantern is usually enough. It has a standard pitch of 8° and goes up to 5 m wide in one panel without an intermediate bar. If the extension has a flat roof with an old rooflight dome, a mono-pitch roof lantern can replace it.
If you live in a street with little space, delivery on an agreed date is often the easiest option. Coordinate that date with your builder, so that someone is there to unload and the roof lantern can be stored safely straight away. How that works is explained on roof lantern delivery in the Netherlands.
Prefer to collect it yourself? Then you can see the workshop at the same time and look at a finished profile. Installation is done by your own builder or contractor. In and around Amersfoort there are plenty of tradespeople who know this work, and with the printed and digital installation manual for each roof type they have everything they need. Installation on request through a regular installation partner is also possible, as a separate line in the quote.
Made-to-measure roof lanterns also find their way to Leusden, Hooglanderveen and Soest. Each place has its own homes and its own questions, from an old rooflight dome that needs replacing to the choice of glass for a well-insulated new-build home. You can read more on the village pages.
Leusden has many homes from the 1970s and 1980s.

Frequently asked questions about Amersfoort
From 2 weeks after approval, and up to 8 weeks for complex bespoke work or a specific glazing choice. Mono-pitch roof lanterns of 1, 2 and 3 metres are always in stock. If your building schedule is urgent, a rush option is sometimes possible.
Usually not for the roof lantern itself. The extension sometimes does, and listed buildings or protected townscapes often come with stricter rules. Check with the municipality of Amersfoort before you order.
A photo or sketch is usually enough for a quote, and a building drawing is not required. If you have nothing on paper, they will come round. The quote arrives in your inbox within 24 hours.
