Buyer's Guide
for roof blinds

The room where your roof window or skylight is installed should play a key role in choosing the right blind. Different spaces have different requirements when it comes to light control, privacy and temperature regulation.

Bedrooms, Loft Conversions & Children's Rooms
Blackout roof blinds are often the preferred choice for loft bedrooms, guest rooms, nurseries and attic conversions. They help block unwanted daylight entering through roof windows, creating a darker, more comfortable environment for sleep. All of our roof blinds are child-safe with no trailing cords.

Home Offices & Loft Workspaces
For home offices with roof windows, dimout roof blinds help reduce glare on screens while still allowing natural daylight into the room. They provide a practical balance between brightness and comfort, making them ideal for loft workspaces and garden room offices with skylights.

Extensions, Orangerys & Rooms with Skylights
Modern extensions and open-plan living spaces often feature skylights to maximise natural light. While this creates bright, inviting rooms, it can also lead to excess heat during the summer months. Dimout roof blinds help soften sunlight and reduce glare, while thermal roof blinds can help minimise heat build-up and improve comfort all year round.

Living Rooms with Roof Windows
Whether installed in a vaulted ceiling, loft conversion or open-plan extension, roof blinds help manage light levels throughout the day. Dimout fabrics provide a balance of natural light, privacy and glare reduction, while blackout options may be preferable in particularly bright, south-facing rooms.

Bathrooms & Kitchens with Roof Windows
Moisture proof roof blinds are a practical choice for kitchens and bathrooms with skylight windows. Designed to cope with humidity and condensation, they provide privacy while allowing you to control natural light in these functional spaces.

Measuring a window for your new roof blind is simple, and quicker than you may expect. Many of the times you won't even need to use a tape measure at all.

Simply open the window and look for a small metal patch near the top, which should include the brand name and a product code, for instance “GGU” and “C01”, or “78×98”. The code identifies your model of roof window, which will then inform the type of blind you will need.
