Skylight blinds are perfect for homeowners who want a skylight to transform their space with natural light and open views but also want the option of shade when necessary. Let’s dive into why skylight blinds are a game-changer and explore the options available through Roof Space Renovators.
Benefits of skylight blinds
Skylight blinds are great for managing the amount of sunlight that enters a room through your skylight, helping you control the brightness and temperature. They’re perfect for:
- Reducing glare on sunny days, which can be especially important in spaces used for working or watching TV.
- Preventing heat from escaping during cooler months, which can help save on heating costs.
- Keeping rooms cooler in summer by blocking out excessive heat from direct sunlight.
Types of skylight blinds offered by Roof Space Renovators
We offer a variety of blinds (always on the inside of the skylight) to suit different needs and preferences:
- Electric or solar operated blinds: These are the go-to for ease and convenience, allowing you to adjust light and privacy with the push of a button. Ideal for skylights that are out of reach.
- Manual blinds: For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, manual blinds can be operated with an extendable control rod.
Can blinds be added to any skylight?
No. Usually, compatible blinds will be from the same brand as the skylight.
If you haven’t installed a skylight yet and are already concerned about the possibility of heat and too much natural light, consider the direction of your skylights. Placement can make a big impact on how much light and heat your skylight lets in.
There are also options to custom-order blinds that fit external frames or unusual sizes through specialized blind manufacturers.
