Your skylight is a key feature of your home, showcasing its beauty, style and architecture. And yet, it slowly roasts you as you try to enjoy a meal under it, or even prepare one. But with the right blind, you can still enjoy the good life. From the classic Velux to our bespoke blinds for the sky lantern you had especially designed, let’s explore the best skylight blinds for your home.
The Best Skylight Blinds For Your Home are Velux blinds
Velux blinds are the best skylight blinds for your home if you have Velux windows. Each window has a code on it. This code ensures you get the blind that fits your window exactly. All you have to do is choose the colour so the best skylight blind slips into place with your chosen decor.
Velux blinds not only offer a range of colours, but are also available in a range of different blind styles. Roller blinds, pleated, cellular and Venetian blinds are all options vying to be the best skylight blinds for your home.
The best skylight blinds for your home are motorised
If your Velux widow is already motorised, then you can have a motorised Velux blind. With skylights being higher up than your average window, you may tire of your manual blind if you need to manoeuvre the pole to open and close them all the time. If, however, your Velux window is not already motorised, then you are destined to enjoy excellent upper-body workouts as you expertly wave that pole around.
On the subject of how high up a Velux window and the best skylight blind for it can be, there’s no need for any scaffolding. A ladder is all that’s required to install the best skylight blind for your Velux window – usually. Unless your skylight is in a very hard-to-reach place, you need not worry about extra equipment being required to install the best skylight blind for your window.
This is all very well for Velux windows, but what if your beautiful skylight isn’t a Velux window? Maybe you just don’t want a Velux blind for your Velux window. Either way, you’ll need an alternative. Luckily for you, here at Blind Technique, we make blinds bespoke for you.
The best skylight blinds are bespoke blinds
Bespoke blinds aren’t just the best skylight blinds, they might be a necessity. Have you had a beautiful ceiling of glass made just for your lovely extension? Maybe you’ve had a charming sky lantern installed? It’s lovely. Unique. It’s the talk of the street. Yet still, you bake – you personally, I’m not talking about your cooking skills here – whenever you stand under it.
Since bespoke blinds are what we do here at Blind Technique, you’re in luck. No matter the shape of your sky lantern, we can make motorised or manual blinds, from a fabric of your choice, so your home truly will have the best skylight blinds.
The best skylight blinds are Zip blinds
Before we go, let’s address what to do if you have an insanely inaccessible skylight. You want to make life as easy as possible by having a blind that’s durable, easy to maintain, and also gets the job of a skylight blind done. This is why zip blinds might be the best skylight blind for you.
Made from roller fabric, a zip blind is locked in its own frame. This not only allows the blind to be as blackout as a blind can be (there’s always some sort of teeny weeny light bleed somewhere), but this also makes zip blinds an especially good choice for when you need air circulating but also require privacy. An open window behind a closed blind can damage the fabric should the air pressure cause the blind to get sucked out from its side channels. For a blind in a high awkward place, this is the last thing you need. Zip blinds are therefore recommended for near-impossible installations. They’re also great for venues where a blackout blind is considered a necessity, such as a hotel room.
As the zip channels hold the fabric taut, they are also the preferred choice for angled windows. There’ll be no sagging fabric with a zip blind, making it the best skylight blind for your attic conversion.
