Indoor Skylight Blinds

Indoor Skylight Blinds

Custom skylight shading solutions for fixed, openable and hard‑to‑reach skylights. Two internal options available: basic roller skylight covers or premium honeycomb skylight blinds.

🌤️ Designed for Modern Skylights

Our indoor skylight blinds provide thermal insulation, glare control and smooth operation for Velux, Fakro, custom timber skylights and flat‑roof units. Every system is custom‑measured and installed for a clean, professional finish.

We offer two skylight blind types, depending on your budget, skylight height and energy‑efficiency needs.

1. Basic Roller Skylight Blinds (Reverse Spring System)

A simple, cost‑effective skylight cover using a reverse spring roller. You pull the blind up and lock it into position — no wiring, no motors, no side channels.

🔧 How It Works

  • spring‑loaded roller blind
  • pulls upward and locks into place
  • ideal for standard skylights within reach
  • uses standard roller blind fabric
  • available in blockout or light‑filtering
  • custom‑made to suit your skylight opening

🎯 Best For

  • basic light control
  • budget installations
  • reachable skylights
  • rental properties
  • older skylight frames

This is the simplest skylight shading option and remains popular for straightforward installations.

2. Honeycomb Skylight Blinds (Manual or Motorised)

Our premium skylight blind system uses 25mm honeycomb fabric inside aluminium side channels for maximum insulation and light control.

Available in manual or motorised operation.

🪟 Manual Operation (Extension Pole)

  • operated with a rigid skylight pole
  • smooth, controlled movement
  • perfect for mid‑height skylights
  • no wiring required
  • quiet and reliable

⚡ Motorised Operation (Belt‑Drive System)

Unlike traditional skylight blinds that use exposed cords or wires, our motorised skylight blinds use a belt‑drive system — meaning:

  • no visible cables
  • cleaner architectural appearance
  • quieter operation
  • smoother travel across the skylight frame
  • longer motor life

Power Options

🔌 Rechargeable Motor (Charge Cable)

  • plug‑in charging
  • no electrician required
  • long battery life

☀️ Solar‑Powered Motor

  • discreet solar panel
  • automatic charging
  • ideal for high skylights

🧵 25mm Honeycomb Fabric Only

Honeycomb skylight blinds are available exclusively in 25mm cell fabric, chosen for:

  • superior insulation
  • lightweight operation
  • compact stacking
  • compatibility with skylight side channels

This ensures smooth travel and prevents sagging in horizontal or angled skylights.

📏 Side Channels for Light Control & Stability

Honeycomb skylight blinds include aluminium side channels to:

  • reduce light bleed
  • stabilise the blind
  • improve insulation
  • prevent fabric movement

Essential for skylight installations.

🌡️ Energy Efficiency Benefits

Both skylight blind options help regulate indoor temperature, but honeycomb blinds provide the highest performance:

  • reduce summer heat gain
  • prevent winter heat loss
  • lower energy bills
  • reduce glare and UV exposure

🎨 Colours & Finishes

  • blockout or light‑filtering
  • modern neutral tones
  • powder‑coated side channels
  • matching hardware
