What Is a Roof Blind?

A roof blind is a made to measure blind fitted to a Velux or similar roof window, held in place by tensioned side channels or guide wires so it stays flat against the angled glass rather than hanging loose. We fit roof blinds in roller, pleated and Venetian styles, in blackout and dim-out fabrics with a dirt-resistant polyester backing.

Roof Blinds for Loft Conversions & Conservatories

Loft conversions are common across older Harlow housing stock and the period cottages around Bishop's Stortford and Great Dunmow, where a sloped or roof-shaped window needs a made to measure roof blind rather than a wall blind adapted to fit.

Conservatories built onto newer Sawbridgeworth and Stansted homes also benefit from the heat-blocking coating available on our roller roof blind fabric, reducing summer heat build-up through the roof glazing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Blinds

What is a roof blind?

A roof blind is a made to measure blind fitted to a Velux or similar roof window, held in place by tensioned side channels or guide wires so it stays flat against the angled glass rather than hanging loose like a standard vertical blind. Roof blinds are available in roller, pleated and Venetian styles.

Can roof blinds achieve full blackout?

Yes, a roof blind fitted with side channels can block the large majority of light entering a roof window, using a fabric backed with a dirt-resistant polyester and heat-blocking coating. This makes it a popular choice for loft bedrooms where morning light through a skylight is a common complaint.

Do roof blinds help with heat in a conservatory or loft?

Yes, the heat-blocking aluminium coating on the reverse of many roof blind fabrics helps reflect summer heat and retain warmth in winter, which is particularly useful in conservatories and loft conversions where the roof glazing gets significant direct sun.

Do roof blinds fit all Velux windows?

We make every roof blind to measure for the specific window it is going into, so it is not a generic fit. We confirm the window model and exact dimensions at your free home visit before the blind is made.

Are insect screens available for roof windows?

Yes, insect screens for roof windows can be fitted alongside or instead of a roof blind, letting the window be opened for ventilation without letting insects into a loft conversion or conservatory.
