Roof lantern Maastricht, from listed building to extension

A roof lantern in Maastricht comes from DagLichtDesign in Barneveld, approx. 185 km away. The glass roof lantern is made to measure there and delivered in Maastricht on an agreed date. Your own contractor fits it. If you would rather hand that over, installation through the regular installation partner is possible, as a separate line in the quote.

Protected city centre and listed buildings

Maastricht has a large protected city centre and, after Amsterdam, the most national monuments in the Netherlands. Behind the facades in areas such as the Jekerkwartier and Wyck there are courtyards and extensions where a roof lantern can bring in a lot of daylight. Outside the old town are post-war districts and newer neighbourhoods with terraced and semi-detached homes. There, an extension with a mono-pitch is the most popular solution. The mono-pitch starts at €1,532 and is always in stock in 1, 2 and 3 metres.

For a listed building or in a protected townscape, permission is often needed in advance, even for work at the back. Check with the municipality of Maastricht first. Also read roof lanterns on listed buildings and in protected townscapes and permits for a roof lantern.

Roof lantern Maastricht: connecting to marl and brick

Marl is a soft limestone that has been widely used in facades and walls in South Limburg. It is porous and sensitive to moisture. If a roof lantern meets such a wall, the watertight connection deserves extra attention from your contractor.

A wall-abutting lean-to is supplied with a wall connection profile and an EPDM lead substitute or zinc flashing, depending on the type of wall. There are connection profiles for brickwork, timber cladding, render, sand-lime brick and concrete panels. If you have a marl wall, mention it in your request so the connection can be discussed in advance.

• Extension against a marl wall: state the wall type in advance
• Courtyard in the Jekerkwartier: ask for permission first
• Extension on a post-war home: mono-pitch
• Large open-plan kitchen: hipped, light from every angle

Delivery over 185 km

Collecting in Barneveld is possible, but at this distance delivery on an agreed date is usually more practical. Agree the date with your contractor and arrange who helps with unloading. See roof lantern delivery in the Netherlands.

In the narrow streets of the old centre, loading and unloading is not easy everywhere. Discuss in advance where the roof lantern can be dropped off. For the rest of the province see roof lanterns in Limburg.
