Velux Blinds Guide
Danish window manufacturer Velux manufacturers some of the most popular roof windows and skylights in the country. Many modern homes feature these attractive windows, which allow massive amounts of natural light to flood a room, making it feel much more spacious.
As opposed to being installed vertically like traditional windows, Velux windows sit at a certain angle on a roof, meaning they require a specific type of blinds to fit their unique design. Velux blinds are specifically made to fit Velux windows, making them the best option for any homes that feature these types of window.
How they work
Velux blinds are created to fit the specific size of a Velux window, so there are many options available that match with the corresponding window dimensions. Windows and blinds from Velux should have matching size codes to ensure they fit correctly.
The blinds from Velux are a variation of roller blinds, venetian blinds, and Roman blinds, although the roller blinds offer the most diverse selection of designs. This means you can enjoy the most popular styles of blinds for a Velux window.
Installation in simple too. Some Velux windows already come with the fixing points required to attach the blinds, otherwise you simply need to attach these points yourself – they will be included with the blinds in any case.
Styles
As previously mentioned, Velux blinds are most commonly a variation of the traditional roller blind, so they have plenty of style options available. There’s also venetian and Roman Velux blinds as well, allowing for ample choice when deciding on your Velux blinds.
There are plenty of different colours and patterns to choose from as well, from classic colours like white and cream to more vibrant tones and hues.
Betters still, Velux blinds that are ideal for children are readily available, including blinds that feature prints of beloved Disney characters. These are also blackout blinds to aid with sleep, making them a fine option for a kid’s room that includes Velux windows.
There’s also a range of Velux blackout blinds as well. This helps to block out as much light as you require, and come in a variety of designs and colours, making it easy to find a set of blackout Velux blinds that matches your décor!
Advantages
Velux blinds are a necessary addition for anyone with Velux roof windows, as other blinds simply aren’t designed to fit the dimensions of these unique windows. Given the angle the angle the windows sit at and their overall shape, it’s impossible to match the windows with blinds unless they are specifically manufactured for Velux windows.
Also, Velux blinds are of the highest quality, much like the windows! They are not only stylish, but serve an important function in reducing the light levels for any room, including the ability to completely block the light if needed.
Other useful functions for these blinds include being great heat retainers, as the thick materials used are fantastic at insulating heat when needed, helping to reducing energy bills during the colder months!
And, as you can find the most popular styles of blinds for Velux windows, it allows you more options when deciding on what design of Velux blinds you would like.
