Roof Blinds
Roof Blinds – Smart Light & Heat Control from Above
Roof blinds, also known as skylight blinds, are specially designed for windows in the ceiling, whether you have a modern extension with roof lanterns, Velux®, Keylite®, Dakstra®, RoofLite® and Fakro® windows, or glass conservatory roofs. These blinds help you take complete control of light, glare, temperature, and privacy from above, without compromising your view of the sky.
From manually operated blinds to fully motorised options, roof blinds are tailored to fit angled, horizontal, or hard-to-reach windows, providing the perfect solution for both domestic and commercial spaces.

Benefits of Roof Blinds
✔ Light Control
Stop harsh sunlight from flooding your room or screen glare from spoiling your day. Choose light-filtering or blackout fabrics to get just the right level of brightness.
✔ Temperature Regulation
Roof windows can make rooms too hot in summer or too cold in winter. Roof blinds help regulate temperature, making your space more comfortable and energy-efficient all year round.
✔ UV & Furniture Protection
Prevent UV rays from fading furniture, floors, and soft furnishings by filtering out damaging sunlight.
✔ Privacy
Ideal for upstairs rooms or neighbouring properties that overlook your skylights. Roof blinds provide discreet privacywithout blocking the sky entirely.
✔ Perfect Fit for Any Shape
Custom-made to fit flat, sloping, triangular, or arched roof windows—whatever the shape, we can cover it.
✔ Motorised & Smart Options
Hard-to-reach window? No problem. Our motorised roof blinds can be controlled via remote, wall switch, smartphone app, or even voice assistants like Alexa and Google.
