Roof lantern Houten, made to fit your terraced house extension

From the 1970s and 1980s onwards, Houten grew from a village into a designated growth town, with Houten-Zuid later added as a large expansion. The result: many terraced and semi-detached houses of similar design, with gardens of similar depth. A roof lantern in Houten therefore usually goes on a rear extension. DagLichtDesign makes it in Barneveld, about 55 km away, and delivers it on an agreed date. The area as a whole is covered on roof lantern Utrecht.

Standard sizes for similar homes

Because many homes in a district have the same width, extensions often come out at similar sizes. A mono-pitch roof lantern of 1, 2 or 3 metres is always in stock, which speeds up delivery. If no standard size fits, it is simply made to measure.

Up to 5 m wide, the mono-pitch comes in a single panel. If you want to use the full width of a wider house, one or more thermally broken glazing bars are added. Read with or without a glazing bar to weigh it up.

• Mono-pitch in 1, 2 and 3 metres from stock
• Up to 5 m wide without a glazing bar
• Standard pitch of 8° for good drainage
• Optional matt black or anthracite aluminium

Roof lantern Houten: south or north-facing garden

In a street of terraced houses, the gardens on one side face south and those opposite face north. With a south-facing extension, it can get warm under the glass in summer. Solar control glass or blinds help then; what to look out for is explained in overheating under a roof lantern.

If your garden faces north, clear glass is the choice instead, and triple glazing is worth considering because of heat loss. HR++ double glazing is standard and more than enough for most living rooms and open kitchens.
