Roof lantern Tilburg, for deep houses and young districts

In Tilburg, you get your roof lantern from DagLichtDesign directly from the maker. In short: your roof lantern is made to measure in Barneveld, about 95 km from Tilburg, and delivered on an agreed date or collected by appointment. DagLichtDesign has no branch in North Brabant, but delivers throughout the Netherlands. Your own contractor installs it, or the regular installation partner on request.

Tilburg's ribbon roads and workers' houses

Tilburg grew as a textile town. The city developed from a series of hamlets, the herdgangen, linked to one another by ribbon roads. Along those roads and in districts such as Oud-Noord and Oud-Zuid you find many simple workers' houses and terraces from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

These houses are narrow and deep, with a middle room that gets little daylight. An extension topped with a mono-pitch roof lantern often solves that. If the extension meets a higher rear wall, a wall-abutting lean-to adds side light as well. More ideas for such a room are in making a dark living room lighter.

Reeshof, Berkel-Enschot and Udenhout

The Reeshof has been built since the 1980s and is Tilburg's largest residential district. It consists mainly of terraced and semi-detached houses with gardens. Many of these homes are now being enlarged with an extension, and a plastic rooflight dome on an existing extension is often due for replacement.

Berkel-Enschot and Udenhout, which belong to the municipality of Tilburg, have more detached houses. Larger extensions fit there too, with a gable or hipped roof lantern for light from several directions. Thinking of replacing the old dome? Read replacing a rooflight dome with a roof lantern.

Roof lantern Tilburg: delivery and installation

Along the old ribbon roads the houses stand close to the street and there is little room to unload. In the Reeshof it is usually easier, with residential streets a van can reach without trouble. DagLichtDesign delivers on an agreed date. Read roof lantern delivery in the Netherlands for what to arrange in advance, such as a clear unloading spot and someone to sign for it.

Your own contractor or builder installs it, using the printed and digital installation manual included with every delivery. Contractors in Brabant get trade prices from the very first project, with no threshold. Anyone ordering more than three projects per calendar year gets a partner discount, applied directly in every quote.
