As an experienced blinds advisor, I’ve seen my fair share of window treatments. Today, I’ll be shining a light on the fascinating world of blinds for Velux windows. I’ll share my knowledge on the subject. So let’s “roll” up our sleeves and dive into the world of Velux blinds and shutters!
Velux windows are a specific type of roof window designed to bring natural light and ventilation into loft spaces and rooms with slanted ceilings. These windows require special Velux blinds that are designed and manufactured to fit their unique shape and dimensions. With these blinds, you can control the light, ensure privacy, and even improve insulation. Check out our Skylight Blinds to find the perfect match for your Velux windows.
What types of blinds are available for Velux windows?
There are several types of blinds designed specifically for Velux windows. Some popular options include roller blinds, blackout blinds, and Venetian blinds. Visit our Types of Blinds and Their Benefits blog post for a comprehensive overview.
Can I get custom colors for my Velux blinds?
Absolutely! Velux blinds come in a wide range of colors, including popular options like pure white, to match any room’s decor. Browse our Range of Colours to find your perfect fit.
Do I need a professional to install my Velux blinds?
While professional installation is always an option, Velux blinds are designed to be easy to install yourself. Check out this Guide to Installing Velux Blinds for step-by-step instructions.
When choosing the perfect Velux blind, consider the following factors:
Functionality: Different blind types offer different levels of light control, insulation, and privacy. For example, blackout blinds provide total darkness, while Venetian blinds allow for precise light control.
Operation: Velux blinds can be manually operated, electrically operated, or solar powered. Think about which option best suits your needs and lifestyle.
Style and Colour: Choose a blind that complements the style and colour scheme of your room. Don’t be afraid to request samples to ensure you get the perfect fit!
Budget: While genuine Velux blinds may be more expensive than generic alternatives, they offer superior quality and fit. Remember, you get what you pay for!
Blackout blinds are designed to block out all light, making them ideal for bedrooms and home cinemas. They come with side channels to prevent light from seeping through the edges. Check out our Blackout Blinds page for more information.
Roller blinds are a popular choice for Velux windows due to their simplicity and versatility. They can be easily adjusted to let in as much or as little light as you desire. Available in a wide range of colours and patterns, roller blinds are perfect for adding a touch of style to your room. Discover more on our Roller Blinds page.
Pleated blinds are a stylish and functional option for Velux windows. Made from folded fabric, these blinds can help filter sunlight and improve insulation. They’re also available in a variety of colours and patterns, making it easy to find the perfect match for your room. Check out our Pleated Blinds page for more information.
While Velux is a popular brand, it’s worth mentioning that Fakro blinds are also available for Fakro roof windows. These blinds offer similar benefits and styles to Velux blinds and are designed to fit Fakro windows perfectly. Visit Fakro Blinds page to explore your options.
Keeping your Velux blinds clean and well-maintained will ensure they remain in excellent condition for years to come. Here are some tips to help you out:
Dusting: Use a soft brush or duster to remove any dust from the surface of your blinds. Be gentle, as you don’t want to damage the fabric or slats.
Spot Cleaning: If you notice any stains or marks on your blinds, try spot cleaning them with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Be sure to test the detergent on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t cause any damage.
Deep Cleaning: Some Velux blinds, like Venetian blinds, can be removed for a more thorough cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a gentle cleaning solution to avoid damaging the blinds.

By providing an extra layer of insulation, these blinds can help reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.

Happy blind shopping, and remember: when it comes to Velux blinds, the “sky” is the limit!
While it’s certainly possible to install Velux blinds yourself, it’s important to remember that it can be a challenging and time-consuming task. As a blinds advisor and business owner, I’ve seen my fair share of DIY blind installations gone wrong, from misaligned brackets to broken frames. Plus, Velux blinds come in a wide range of sizes and styles, each with its own unique installation process, so it can be tough to navigate if you’re not familiar with the product. That said, if you’re feeling confident and have some experience with DIY projects, it’s definitely doable! Just be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, take your time, and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Yes, Velux blinds can help keep the cold out by providing an extra layer of insulation for your windows. As a blinds advisor and business owner, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that window treatments can have on a home’s energy efficiency. Velux blinds, in particular, are designed to fit snugly within the window frame, helping to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Plus, with a wide range of blackout and thermal options available, you can choose the perfect blinds to suit your needs and keep your home cozy and comfortable all year round. So go ahead, embrace the warmth and comfort of Velux blinds – your energy bills will thank you!
Operating Velux blinds is a breeze! Most Velux blinds are designed to be opened and closed with a simple pull or push of a handle, while others can be operated by a remote control. I always recommend choosing motorised options for hard-to-reach windows or for those who simply want added convenience. Plus, with solar-powered options available, you can enjoy the benefits of motorized blinds without having to worry about battery replacements. So whether you prefer to operate your Velux blinds manually or with a push of a button, there’s an option that’s perfect for you!
