VELUX windows are an absolutely top notch product when it comes to skylight and lofts, it’s no wonder VELUX are the market leaders in loft windows. In terms of letting light in they are perfect, but what about when you don’t want all that light..
As you have probably figured out, traditional window blinds/coverings will not work as velux windows are on a horizontal slant, close to 45%. Because of this if you tried installing a regular blind it would just hang vertical and be completely useless. Luckily VELUX has brought out their own range of blinds – VELUX Window Blinds.
VELUX Window Blinds are specially created by VELUX themselves to work with their windows, this means you are guranteed a high quality, lasting product. They also have a huge choice of blind types and fabrics available, including the always popular pleated and roller ranges.
Now, if you are looking at your skylight window and thinking: “How the hell am I going to reach that, let alone operate a blind” then luckily I can tell you VELUX have already thought of this. There are currently two options: a long reach pole or a remote control blind option. Both ways do a very good job but the remote control option is slightly more expensive but is easier to use, it even features a solar powered battery so you won’t have to worry about wiring or replacing batteries.
One of the great things about VELUX blinds is that you won’t need to measure the windows, VELUX windows have a plate on them which contains a code, that code can then be used to find a blind that fits your window.
Unfortunately VELUX blinds can be quite expensive, especially if you have a large window. In fact if you go to VELUX direct the prices will be shocking, fortunately VELUX Window blinds are available through official velux suppliers such as Web Blinds for far lower prices.
