Rooflight Blinds
Rooflight Blinds
Rooflight and roof lantern glazing can dramatically enhance a space by bringing in natural light from above. However, managing sunlight, glare and heat requires carefully designed shading solutions.
Rooflights and roof lanterns are often constructed from multiple glass panels, including rectangular and triangular sections. Because of this, shading systems may require several custom shaped blinds designed to fit each individual pane.
An alternative solution is the installation of larger roof lantern blinds that span horizontally across the opening, providing a single shading system that covers the entire glazed area.
For a clean and contemporary appearance, pleated and cellular blinds are an excellent choice. These blinds retract neatly when not in use and create a sleek finish when extended. Their honeycomb structure also provides thermal benefits, helping to retain warmth during winter while reducing heat gain in summer.
If you prefer a more traditional aesthetic, pinoleum woven wood blinds provide gentle, dappled shading while still allowing a soft view of the sky above.
For unusually shaped or complex rooflights, louvred roof systems can offer a practical and stylish alternative. In larger installations, roller cassette blinds installed across the opening are often recommended, with the fabric guided securely within side tracks for smooth and reliable operation.
All systems are made to measure and professionally installed to ensure a perfect fit and long term performance.
