Roof Lanterns
Roof Lanterns look great and let in loads of light. Combined with under floor heating they make your extension nice and snug in the winter. But what about the summer:
Excessive heat
Unbearable
To much glare
Can’t see the TV
These are just a few comments made by our customers before we have installed motorised pleated blinds .
Motorized blinds for roof lanterns offer a practical and convenient solution for controlling light, heat, and privacy in spaces with overhead windows or skylights. Roof lanterns are architectural features that consist of a raised structure with multiple glass panels, allowing natural light to flood the room. Here’s why motorized blinds are a great option for roof lanterns:
- Light Control: Motorized blinds allow you to easily adjust the amount of sunlight entering the space. With roof lanterns, excessive sunlight can cause glare and discomfort, especially during certain times of the day. Motorized blinds offer precise control over the positioning of the blinds, allowing you to reduce or completely block the sunlight when needed. This helps to create a more comfortable and enjoyable environment.
- Heat and UV Protection: Roof lanterns can contribute to heat gain in a room, particularly during hot summer months. Motorized blinds with specialized fabrics, such as solar-reflective or heat-blocking materials, can help regulate the temperature by reducing the amount of heat transmitted through the glass. These blinds also provide protection against harmful UV rays, which can fade furniture and flooring over time.
- Privacy: Roof lanterns provide a beautiful view of the sky and surroundings, but they can also compromise privacy, especially in the evening or at night. Motorized blinds allow you to easily lower the blinds and create a sense of privacy whenever desired, providing peace of mind and a more intimate atmosphere in your space.
- Convenience and Control: Operating roof lantern blinds manually can be challenging, especially if they are positioned high up or in hard-to-reach areas. Motorized blinds eliminate the need for manual operation, allowing you to control the blinds with ease using a remote control or wall switch. With programmable features, you can schedule the opening and closing of the blinds at specific times, ensuring optimal light control and energy efficiency.
- Safety: Motorized blinds for roof lanterns eliminate the use of cords or chains that pose a safety hazard, particularly for children or pets. The motorized mechanism ensures smooth and cord-free operation, providing a safer environment for your family.
- Integration with Smart Home Systems: Motorized blinds for roof lanterns can be integrated into smart home systems, allowing you to control them through voice commands or smartphone apps. Integration with platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit enables seamless automation and coordination with other smart devices in your home, enhancing your overall smart home experience.
- Design and Aesthetics: Motorized blinds offer a wide range of design options to complement the style of your space. Whether you prefer roller blinds, pleated blinds, or other types, there are motorized options available in various fabrics, colors, and finishes. This allows you to customize the blinds to suit your interior decor and enhance the overall aesthetics of your space.
When considering motorized blinds for roof lanterns, it’s essential to consult with a blinds specialist or supplier who can provide expert advice and ensure proper measurements and installation. This will ensure that the motorized blinds fit correctly and operate smoothly, maximizing their functionality and performance.
In summary, motorised blinds for roof lanterns provide convenient light control, heat and UV protection, privacy, safety, and integration with smart home systems. These features make them an excellent choice for enhancing the functionality, comfort, and aesthetics of spaces with overhead windows or skylights.
