A roof lantern in the province of Groningen comes from the DagLichtDesign factory in Barneveld. In short: the roof lantern is made to measure, you have a quote within 24 hours, the lead time starts at 2 weeks after approval and delivery follows on an agreed date. Your own contractor fits it, or the installation partner on request.
The city of Groningen is about 170 km from the factory. Around it lies the Ommeland: villages on dwelling mounds, large farmhouses in the Oldambt and on the Hogeland, and peat colony ribbon villages in the east. In a large part of the province, the reinforcement of homes because of earthquakes caused by gas extraction also plays a role.
If your home is being reinforced or replaced, the structure is opened up anyway. That is a logical moment to include a roof lantern, because the contractor can then create the opening and the upstand in one go. Do talk it through early: what falls within the reinforcement and what is your own wish must be clear beforehand.
With rebuilding, the same applies as with any new build: the earlier the roof lantern is in the design, the better the detailing. See including a roof lantern in a new build. With an existing roof, a contractor or structural engineer assesses the load-bearing capacity.
The city of Groningen has an old centre, many homes from around 1900 and districts from the 1920s and 1930s. Many of these buildings are upper-floor homes or divided into rooms and flats. A roof lantern in the flat roof of an extension brings daylight back into a dark back room or kitchen.
A roof lantern on a roof extension is a good solution if you add a storey: with a wall-abutting lean-to roof lantern against the higher wall you get light from above and from the side. With a shared roof, you usually need permission from the owners' association or the co-owners. If you rent, you need the landlord's permission; see roof lantern in a rented home.
The large farmhouses in the Oldambt and on the Hogeland have enormous barns. Anyone converting such a barn into a home or workspace has plenty of space and little daylight. A series of roof lanterns or one large gable roof lantern brings that light in. For a workspace or practice, a roof lantern for a commercial building is also worth a look.
With such large roof surfaces, it helps to decide the layout with your contractor in advance: one large roof lantern along the full length, or several smaller ones above the places where you need light. Both are possible, because every roof lantern is made to measure.
A roof lantern in Groningen comes from DagLichtDesign's own workshop in Barneveld, a drive of about 170 km.
