Roof windows need specialist blinds. Standard blinds can’t cope with the angle, the increased UV exposure or the heat build-up that comes with roof glazing — and a blind that isn’t properly made for the opening will fit poorly, let light in around the edges and won’t last well in the conditions. Velux blinds in Preston loft conversions and extensions are a regular part of our work.
We install blinds for Velux windows and other roof window brands in blackout and dim-out options. The right fabric depends on the room and its use. A bedroom loft conversion needs a full blackout blind to make the room genuinely usable as a sleeping space. A home office or study benefits from a dim-out blind that reduces glare without plunging the space into darkness.
John measures every roof window himself. Because the angles, rail positions and installation requirements vary by window make, age and size, accurate measuring matters considerably more for roof windows than for standard windows. When you get in touch, mention the window brand and size if you have it — it helps John prepare for the visit.

Yes — we install blinds for Velux and a range of other roof window brands. John will confirm what’s available for your specific window at the consultation. It helps to know the brand and size of the window in advance if possible.
For a loft bedroom, blackout is almost always the better choice — roof windows let in a significant amount of light and a dim-out blind won’t make the room dark enough for comfortable sleep. Blackout fabric blocks nearly all light; dim-out reduces it considerably but doesn’t block it completely. John will show you both options at the consultation.
Roof window blinds are measured by John at the consultation. The angle of the window, the rail position and the specific window dimensions all need to be taken accurately — this is why a home visit is essential rather than quoting from measurements taken by the customer.
Made-to-measure Velux and roof window blinds are typically 3 weeks or more from consultation. Nicky will confirm the current lead time when you get in touch.
