Roombeek: new build with its own character

After the fireworks disaster of 2000, the Roombeek district was rebuilt. Many of its homes date from after 2000, often with distinctive architecture and clean lines, built to more recent insulation standards. Anyone adding an extension there usually wants a roof lantern that looks just as crisp.

A mono-pitch roof lantern with a slim aluminium frame in RAL 9005 or RAL 7016 suits such facades well. Up to 5 m wide is possible in a single panel without an intermediate bar. For a well-insulated home, it makes sense to look at triple glazing too. Read more in triple glazing or HR++ double glazing.

Roof lantern Enschede in an older district

Enschede was a textile town for a long time. From that era come rows of workers' houses, such as in the Pathmos district: often small, low homes with a narrow rear wall. A wall-abutting lean-to on an extension against that wall gives light from above and from the side. If the house is on a heritage list, check the rules with the municipality first.

The post-war districts have many terraced and semi-detached houses with a flat roof on the extension. If there is an old plastic rooflight dome in it, a mono-pitch roof lantern is a logical replacement. You get more glass and a thermally broken aluminium frame in any RAL colour, which your contractor connects watertight to EPDM or bitumen on an upstand.
