Questions about this size
Will a 2000 x 4000 mm lantern fit my kerb?
It fits a kerb whose outside measures 2000 mm by 4000 mm. Measure the outside of your kerb at several points and check the diagonals. If your kerb is a few millimetres different, we can quote made-to-measure instead.
How heavy is a 2000 x 4000 mm roof lantern?
Roughly 360 kg with double glazing and 480 kg with triple glazing, as a planning figure. The manufacturer's weight for your chosen range is on your quote.
How much light does a 2000 x 4000 mm lantern give?
It covers 8.00 m² of roof with about 8.83 m² of sloping glass. As a guide, that suits a room of roughly 32–48 m² of floor. In England, extensions are generally expected to keep all glazing (windows, doors and rooflights together) within about 25% of the floor area unless calculations justify more.
Does a 2000 x 4000 mm lantern need intermediate rafters?
Many ranges add an intermediate rafter at this length; the drawing on your quote shows the layout.
