Add extra for water drippage

It is recommended to have 6mm of overhang all round the roof lantern for water drippage.

You therefore need to increase the size of each dimension by 12mm (6mm + 6mm).

For example

You measure the opening (including upstand and membrane) and it is

1350mm wide

2010mm long

The size of the roof lantern you need to order would be

1350mm + 12mm = 1362mm

2010mm + 12mm = 2022mm
