Anyone looking for a roof lantern in Hilversum often lives in a home with character. The town is known for its 1930s districts, leafy villa areas and the architecture of Dudok. DagLichtDesign makes its glass roof lanterns to measure in Barneveld, approx. 50 km away, and supplies the whole of the Netherlands. Your own contractor fits it, or the regular installation partner on request.
Hilversum has many homes from the 1920s and 1930s, with brickwork, bay windows and careful detailing in the frames. Anyone extending such a home at the back wants to keep that character. The new part may be light, but does not need to shout.
A roof lantern on the extension brings daylight deep into the old room behind it. A frame in RAL 9005 jet black echoes the slim steel windows of that period, although any RAL colour is possible. Read more in roof lanterns in a 1930s home and choosing a frame colour for your roof lantern.
The villa districts of Hilversum have large plots and detached houses with big gardens. There it is more often about a generous extension, a garden room or an open-plan kitchen. A hipped roof lantern then catches light from every angle. Up to 9 m² of glass is possible in one piece, larger with segmentation and concealed bars.
Many villas stand among tall trees. That means shade, but also leaves and needles on the glass. The standard pitch of 8° drains rainwater well, but leaves can still settle. Regular cleaning keeps the glass clear. Maintenance tips are in maintaining and cleaning a roof lantern.
The distance is approx. 50 km. You collect the roof lantern at the factory by appointment, with no shipping costs, or have it delivered on an agreed date. How delivery works is explained under roof lantern delivery in the Netherlands.
Hilversum is in Noord-Holland. For Haarlem, Amsterdam and the rest of the province see roof lanterns in Noord-Holland.
For a large extension on a detached home, a hipped or gable roof lantern often fits. The hipped roof lantern starts at €3,481, the gable roof lantern at €2,399. A photo or sketch is enough for a made-to-measure quote.
The lead time starts at 2 weeks after approval. Complex bespoke work or a specific glass choice can take up to 8 weeks. A mono-pitch in 1, 2 or 3 metres is always in stock.
That depends on the room below and the orientation. Triple glazing does not always pay for itself within ten years, but is most useful above bedrooms and facing north or west. For a south-facing living room, HR++ double glazing is usually more than enough.
