Roof lantern Hoevelaken for flat roofs and extensions

A roof lantern in Hoevelaken often replaces something that is already there: a yellowed plastic rooflight dome on the extension or garage. DagLichtDesign makes the new roof lantern to measure at the factory in Barneveld, about 18 km away. Your own contractor or builder installs it. Hoevelaken is part of the municipality of Nijkerk; the roof lantern Nijkerk page tells you more about the area.

Flat roofs from the years of expansion

In the second half of the last century, Hoevelaken grew from a village into a commuter town, partly thanks to its location next to the Hoevelaken interchange. Many terraced and semi-detached houses date from that time, often later extended with a flat-roofed extension or garage. Such a roof regularly has a rooflight dome that has turned dull after years of sun and insulates poorly.

A mono-pitch roof lantern is the logical successor. HR++ double glazing is standard and triple glazing optional. The difference in light and appearance is explained in roof lantern or rooflight dome.

• More daylight than through a dull plastic dome
• Watertight connection to EPDM or bitumen
• Load-rated to NEN standards for snow and wind
• Water drained via the frame profile to the existing gutter

Roof lantern Hoevelaken: what your contractor checks first

An existing flat roof can usually be used, provided the structure allows it. Your contractor or a structural engineer assesses the load-bearing capacity. Next comes the upstand: the raised kerb on which the roof lantern rests and to which the roof covering connects.

Every delivery includes an installation manual with connection details for EPDM, bitumen and zinc, and a step-by-step plan for upstand, insulation and sealing. For a quotation within 24 hours, the following is enough:

• A photo of the roof and of the opening from inside
• The approximate dimensions of the current opening
• The type of roof covering: EPDM or bitumen
• The frame colour you want, for example RAL 7016
