VELUX blinds
Blinds for VELUX / skylight / roof windows
You can take full control over the amount of light coming through your roof or skylight windows with a choice of roller, pleated or venetian roof / skylight blinds.
If you also have upright windows in the same area, you can co-ordinate the styles and colours of your blinds, perhaps adding some custom vertical blinds to complement your skylights.
Of our featured suppliers, Hillarys provides all three types of roof blinds and will measure up and fit them at no extra cost.
For a DIY alternative, many online blinds suppliers offer made-to-measure blinds that are specially designed to fit VELUX and other skylights / angled roof windows.

Web Blinds also offers roller blinds for skylights and roof windows. Their range features over 70 fabrics in a wide variety of colours and patterns - from neutrals to bright, colourful designs.
Their skylight blinds also feature side channels that stop light from leaking around the edges and keep the fabric in place.
Skylight blinds can be stopped in any position and used whether the skylight window is open or closed, providing you with total control over the amount and angle of incoming light.
Hillarys Blinds offers a choice of around 50 fabrics for skylight roller blinds, which they'll also measure up and fit for you as standard.
These include blackout roof blinds, which can give you a better night's sleep by cutting out early morning light.
For damp environments like bathrooms or kitchens, venetian rooflight blinds are ideal, as they're made from lightweight aluminium, which is not only good for humid conditions, but also nice and easy to keep clean.

For a gentle, filtered light effect, pleated skylight / roof window blinds are worth considering. Fitted with a control wand for when blinds would otherwise be out of reach, they can also be ordered with special fabrics that help you moderate a room's temperature.
Performance backings on skylight pleated blinds can also be effective at helping to keep heat inside during the winter, whilst reflecting unwanted heat and light in summer months.
However you use your roof-based room, purpose-made skylight blinds can help you to make the most of the available space.
Benefits include cutting down unwanted glare, reflections and other light-related annoyances, whilst also adding ambiance in your choice of colours and shades.
