Hilversum is about 50 km from the factory, Amsterdam about 75 km and Haarlem about 90 km. Collecting is possible, but for most people in North Holland delivery is more practical. Two things make the province special for a roof lantern: the wind on the coast and the old city centres.
For wind loads, the Eurocode divides the Netherlands into three wind zones. The North Holland coastal strip falls in the heaviest zone, and in open terrain such as polders and the edge of the dunes the wind is stronger than between buildings. For a roof lantern, this mainly means a firm anchoring of the upstand in the roof structure and a connection that stays watertight in wind-driven rain.
The glass and the profile are rarely the weak point; the connection is. Have your contractor fix the upstand securely and run the EPDM or bitumen neatly over the upstand. You will find more explanation under snow load and wind load.
The Amsterdam canal ring is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and the city has entire districts in the Amsterdam School style from the 1910s to the 1930s. Haarlem and Hilversum have many 1930s homes and villa districts. In protected townscapes and village views there are often extra rules about what you put on the roof, sometimes at the back too.
So check with the municipality first what is allowed. The article roof lantern on a listed building or in a protected townscape helps you prepare. A low mono-pitch roof lantern with a dark frame colour, such as anthracite or jet black, is often the least visible from the street.
In Amsterdam and Haarlem, a large share of people live in a flat or upper-floor home. If you want a roof lantern in the flat roof there, you usually need permission from the owners' association, because the roof is often shared property. Read roof lantern in a flat or owners' association first. After that, the usual route follows: quote, measuring and a contractor who fits the roof lantern.

Frequently asked questions about North Holland
By delivery on an agreed date, or you collect it yourself in Barneveld. Plan delivery in a city centre carefully, because loading and unloading is often restricted there. Agree the time with your contractor.
A properly fitted roof lantern can. Every roof lantern is made to measure with an aluminium frame, and the installation manual describes per roof type how it is fitted. Most important is that your contractor anchors the upstand well and connects the roof covering watertight.
That depends on the municipality and the type of protection. For a national monument or in a protected townscape, a permit is often needed, even for work you cannot see from the street. Check with the municipality in advance.
HR++ double glazing is standard and more than enough for most living rooms. If the roof lantern faces south, solar control glass limits the heat. Triple glazing mainly makes sense above a bedroom or with a north or west orientation. The quote shows HR++ and triple side by side.
