How to order a roof lantern as a homeowner

Once you approve, the roof lantern goes into production. The lead time is from 2 weeks. The full ordering process is also explained in ordering a roof lantern.

Who installs the roof lantern when you order as a homeowner?

DagLichtDesign does not install as standard. Your own contractor or builder fits the roof lantern, using the printed and digital installation manual supplied with every delivery. If your contractor has questions, telephone support is available on weekdays from 7:00 to 17:00.

If you have no contractor, installation can be arranged on request through a regular installation partner. It appears as a separate line in the quote. What fitting roughly costs is covered in the cost of having a roof lantern installed.

What should you watch for as a homeowner?

Check in advance that your roof can carry the roof lantern. With an existing flat roof or extension it is usually quite possible, provided the structure allows it. A contractor or structural engineer can assess that. Also check whether your building work needs a permit, see planning permission for a roof lantern.

Compare quotes on the same specification: roof type, glass, colour and what is and is not included. The from-prices per type are listed in what does a roof lantern cost.

  • Have the load-bearing capacity of the roof assessed
  • Check with the council whether the work needs a permit
  • Compare quotes on the same specification
  • Agree installation with your contractor in advance

Frequently asked questions

How do you pay for a roof lantern as a homeowner?

You pay a 30% deposit on order and 70% on completion, with a payment term of 14 days. That way you pay the larger part only once the roof lantern is there.

Can I collect the roof lantern myself?

Yes, by appointment at the factory in Barneveld, with no delivery charge. You can also have it delivered on an agreed date.

Can I install the roof lantern myself?

If you are experienced with roofing work, you can, using the installation manual supplied with every delivery. Bear in mind that the connection to the roof covering and working at height are skilled jobs. If in doubt, leave it to a contractor or the installation partner.
