Roof lantern Bennekom for garden rooms, conservatories and extensions

Bennekom lies between Ede and Wageningen, with many detached homes and generous gardens. A glass roof lantern turns a garden room or conservatory into a space you use all year round. DagLichtDesign makes it to measure in Barneveld, approx. 25 km away, about 25 minutes by car. With a garden room, it is mainly about light without it getting too warm.

Roof lantern Bennekom on a garden room or conservatory

A garden room is surrounded by the garden on three sides and already gets a lot of light. With glass in the roof it becomes lighter still, but also warmer. That is why the choice of glass and pitch matters more here than with an ordinary extension. Solar control glass limits the heat, and a window or door in the wall that opens lets warm air escape.

For a garden room with four equal sides, a hipped roof lantern is a fine choice: pitched all round, with a standard pitch of 8°. For a conservatory against the house, a wall-abutting lean-to is a better fit. More examples are under roof lanterns for conservatories and garden rooms.

• South side: solar control glass or shading
• HR++ as standard, triple optional
• Hipped roof lantern for a free-standing garden room
• Wall-abutting lean-to for a conservatory against the wall

Warm under glass: what you can do

Overheating happens when more solar heat comes in than you can get rid of. Besides solar control glass, an external screen and ventilation help. Which combination works is explained under overheating under a roof lantern.

If your garden room is shaded by tall trees, it is less of an issue. An open south side without shade calls for a deliberate choice. Mention the orientation in your enquiry, and the glazing options will be listed side by side in the quote.

Collection or delivery from Barneveld

A hipped roof lantern for a garden room is a sizeable package. If you do not have a large trailer, delivery on an agreed date is the easiest route. Coordinate it with your builder, so the upstand is ready when the roof lantern arrives. A smaller mono-pitch for a conservatory you can also collect yourself with a van or trailer, with no delivery charge.
