Roof lanterns and glazed skylights are becoming increasingly popular in living areas and orangeries. As fantastic as they look, they do cause the issue of excess heat in summer as well as glare of TV screens.
We offer two fantastic shading solutions for these spaces:
- Zipped roller blinds (click this link for more information)
- Pleated blinds
Zipped roller blinds
This range of roof lantern blind stops the light from coming through the fabric using blackout material but, unlike normal free hanging roller blinds it will also stop light from bleeding around the fabric. This is achieved by slotting the fabric in to side channels which on most occasions will stop 99% of the light coming in to the room.
As well as blackout fabric, light filtering fabric and screen fabric could also be used to allow in the natural light whilst stopping the beam of the sun making living areas much more comfortable to use,
Key features:
- Can be rolled away making it discreet.
- Having the blinds rolled away, you will have a full open view and you will allow maximum natural light in to the room.
- High quality fabrics are available for UV protection, glare reduction etc.
- Complete blackout can be achieved. Ideal for bedrooms, cinema rooms etc.
- Blinds will work as a thermal barrier helping to save on energy costs.
