Skylight Blinds.

Roof lanterns, open-plan living, vast space—these are all prevalent in the modern home. We love open-plan living, and with that comes large openings in the roof, which can often drive temperature and discomfort in the home.

Skylight blinds help make the room more amenable, comfortable and overall, enjoyable. Reducing direct heat and glare, these fantastic blinds can be used all year round to make your open space more enjoyable.

Roof Window Blinds

Embrace the summer – we love it! But let’s not get more uncomfortable than we need too.

The beauty of our skylight blinds is that they can be used all year round. They’re sleek, easy to operate, come in a wide variety of colours, but also, they are available in just an anti-glare or blackout fabrics.

They have no protruding wires that run through the middle of the blind for support, so when the blind is retracted you only see open, clear glass. The modern day roof lantern blind is now sleek, unimposing yet highly attractive and useful.

Not just for the summer though? The blackout fabrics are lined with foil, offering excellent heat retention during the winter months – which in turn, helps you save on your heating bills. These fantastic blinds are useable all year around, not just in the summer!

Skylight Blinds – Your Options

We offer both manual and motorised roof lantern blinds as an option, depending on your needs and budget.

Manual Skylight Blinds

A simple operation of movement of the blind by a wand/pole. It hooks onto the end of the blind, and you walk it across your opening.

  • Key facts:
    Max opening width: 170cm
    Max opening drop: 590cm
    Profile colours: White / Dark grey / Coffee
    Blackout fabrics are foil-lined for maximum insulation and heat retention/reflection
    30 + fabrics to choose from including blackout

Motorised Skylight Blinds

For higher up, or wider openings where the pole operation may be hard work or unreachable at all, then we have motorised options available.

  • Key facts:
    Max opening width: 240cm
    Max opening drop: 460cm (Up to 800cm if fabrics come from either end)
    Profile colours: White / Dark grey / Coffee

  • For motorised skylight blinds, if a hardwired motorised blind is preffered, there will need to be a standard plug socket available near the blind for it to plug in to. We have a qualified electrician who can help with this (at an additional cost) if you are unable to source your own.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

All of our roof lantern blinds are covered by a 5 year warranty against parts and installation

The whole ordering process can take approximately 4-5 weeks, but during peak times (mostly summer), this may change slightly.

No! We have a solar powered option which we mount close to the glass to trickle charge the battery, and even a chargeable battery by cord if your blind is low enough to plug into. If you need assistance with a mains plug, then we can help.

Our manual blinds are very reasonable in price, considering the product's longevity and how much use you'll get from them. They could start as little as £500, fully fitted.
