Roof lantern Lunteren, close to the workshop

Lunteren is approx. 14 km from the DagLichtDesign workshop, about fifteen to twenty minutes by car. That makes it easy to go and look first before you order a roof lantern for your house in Lunteren. The village, known for the geographical centre of the Netherlands in the woods, has many detached and semi-detached homes with room for an extension.

Looking round the workshop

You do not buy a roof lantern every day. A photo does not show what a profile looks like or how frosted glass diffuses the light. At the workshop in Barneveld they are happy to show you a finished profile and glazing unit by appointment. From Lunteren that is a short drive.

Bring your measurements and a photo of the situation on such a visit. Then you can discuss straight away which roof type, which pitch and which glass fits. The quote follows within 24 hours.

Once you have made your choice, things move quickly. Mono-pitch roof lanterns of 1, 2 and 3 metres are always in stock, and the lead time starts at 2 weeks after approval. You collect it from the same workshop you visited earlier.

• Look at the thermally broken aluminium profile
• Compare clear, frosted and solar control glass
• Discuss a RAL colour or bicolour frame
• Bring your measurements and photos

Roof lantern Lunteren: mono-pitch or gable on an extension

With an extension to a detached house you often have a choice. A mono-pitch roof lantern slopes in one plane, is the most popular type and suits most extensions. A gable roof lantern has two slopes meeting at the ridge. That classic shape goes well with a house that has a pitched roof.

The trade-off between the two is explained under mono-pitch or gable roof lantern. As standard, a gable roof lantern goes up to 6 m long and 4 m wide per roof slope, symmetrical or asymmetrical. Water runs via a self-cleaning drainage system to the existing gutter or downpipe.
