Roof lanterns for architects: made to measure from your drawings

Made to measure from your drawings

All four roof types are made to measure: the lean-to, wall-abutting lean-to, gable and hipped roof lantern. You draw the roof lantern as the design requires, and the factory works it out from that drawing. Special applications, such as a roof extension or a commercial building, are open for discussion. DagLichtDesign thinks along with you.

A CAD file of the roof lantern is available on request. That lets you take the detail straight into your own drawings.

Technical data for your specification

For design and specification, these are the key data for the glass and the frame.

All four roof types have a standard pitch of 8°. A lean-to can be up to 5 metres wide without an intermediate bar. A gable goes up to 6 metres long and 4 metres wide per roof surface as standard, a hipped roof lantern up to 9 m² of glass in one piece. More on glass values is in the U-value of glass and safety glass and laminated glass.

• HR++ standard, U about 1.1 W/m²K, around 32 dB
• Triple optional, U about 0.5 W/m²K, around 36 dB
• Aluminium, thermally broken, any RAL colour or bicolour
• Safety glass to NEN standard, clear, frosted or solar control

Roof lantern for architects: working with the builder

DagLichtDesign supplies homeowners and builders. In a project with an architect, the order usually goes through the builder. The builder gets trade prices from the first project and one fixed point of contact, see roof lanterns for builders. Delivery from 2 weeks fits almost any build schedule. That way design, ordering and execution line up.

Every delivery includes an installation manual with connection details for EPDM, bitumen and zinc and a step-by-step plan for upstand, insulation and sealing. For designing the glazed area, it helps to read about with or without an intermediate bar and choosing the frame colour.
