Roof lantern Rhenen, suited to older buildings

Rhenen lies on the Nederrijn, at the foot of the Grebbeberg, and has a historic town centre with older buildings. The villages of Elst and Achterberg are also part of the municipality. If you want a roof lantern in Rhenen, you are often dealing with an extension against an existing, sometimes old wall. DagLichtDesign makes the roof lantern to measure in Barneveld, about 35 km away, and your contractor installs it. Read more about the area under roof lantern Veenendaal.

Connecting to an existing wall

With an extension against a taller rear wall, the connection is the most important detail. A wall-abutting lean-to roof lantern connects to the wall on the high side with a wall connection profile, finished with an EPDM lead substitute or a zinc flashing. Which of the two it will be depends on the type of wall.

Old brickwork is not always straight or flat. Have your contractor measure it beforehand and pass it on with the quotation request, so the connection profile is right. The roof lantern is supplied made to measure, including upstand and connection profiles.

• Wall connection profile for brickwork, render or timber
• Finished with EPDM lead substitute or zinc flashing
• Thermally broken aluminium frame
• Light from above and from the side in one roof lantern

Roof lantern Rhenen: colour and rules in the old town

A crisp black frame suits a modern extension well, but against old brick not everyone chooses it. The aluminium comes in any RAL colour and can be bicolour, different inside and out. Help with that choice can be found in choosing a frame colour.

In a historic town centre, stricter rules can apply to an extension than in a new-build district. The roof lantern itself usually does not need a separate permit, but the extension sometimes does. Read permits for a roof lantern and check with the municipality of Rhenen.

Delivery on an agreed date

Of all the places in this area, Rhenen is the furthest from the factory. Delivery on an agreed date, in step with your contractor's schedule, is therefore often the most convenient. Collecting it yourself in Barneveld is of course possible too, by appointment and with no delivery charge. If you live closer to the factory, have a look at Renswoude.
