A Brief look at Velux Skylight Blinds

It wasn't too long ago that the only type of skylight blinds you could find were roller blinds. These days however, you'll find a wide range of skylight blinds including Velux Venetian blinds which have been designed to fit their skylight windows.


Other innovations include motorised blinds, ideal for roof blinds that are far too high to reach; blackout blinds are also available and while you may think this is a little strange for windows which face to the sky the amount of unwanted light pollution can make sleeping difficult, not forgetting that a full moon and a cloudless sky can also make an attic or loft conversion bedroom surprisingly light.

One of the biggest advantages of skylight blinds, especially the Venetian styles, is the ability to reduce heat build-up and before the Venetian styles, it meant that if you wanted to keep cool the room had to be plunged into darkness. Of course Velux Venetian skylight blinds give you the same light control as standard Venetians simply by altering the angle of the slats. Colour is another area where skylight blinds have been bought up to-date, although colour choices are still a little restricted at least nowadays you have a choice!
