The short answer

As a builder you can buy a roof lantern through a wholesaler, but also straight from the factory. DagLichtDesign makes made-to-measure roof lanterns in Barneveld and supplies builders at trade prices from the very first project, with no threshold or minimum. You get one fixed point of contact and delivery from 2 weeks.

Wholesaler or factory: what is the difference?

A wholesaler buys in roof lanterns and sells them on. That is handy if you collect all your materials from one address. With made-to-measure work, though, there is an extra link between you and the maker. Questions about a detail, a non-standard size or a delivery time then go via the seller to the factory and back again.

Buy straight from the factory and you talk to the people who make the roof lantern. DagLichtDesign was founded by two entrepreneurs with a background in construction. They too often ran into unclear prices and long delivery times. That could be done better.

Wholesaler: everything at one address, but an extra link
Factory: direct contact with the maker
Factory: made to measure without a detour
Factory: price and delivery time first hand

What you get as a builder straight from the factory

The full terms are on the roof lanterns for builders page. In short, it works like this.

With a regular partnership, more than three projects per calendar year, you get a partner discount built straight into every quote. For larger volumes, additional arrangements are made. Delivery from 2 weeks fits almost any build schedule.
