Why it is important to have blackout thermal skylight blinds in your loft conversion

If you’ve recently converted your loft into a living space, you know that there are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to making it a comfortable and functional area. One of the most important features of any living space is the ability to control the light and temperature, and that’s where a blackout thermal blind comes in. Here are two reasons why it’s important to have one in your loft conversion.

Firstly, the most common reason homeowners convert their loft is to make it into an extra bedroom.  A blackout thermal blind is a great way to create a dark and quiet sleeping environment for the most exposed room in the home.  Luckily, our blackout thermal blinds can effectively block out unwanted light and noise, making it easier to get a good night’s sleep.

Secondly, a blackout thermal blind can help regulate the temperature in your loft conversion. During the summer months, a loft can become uncomfortably hot due to the heat rising from lower levels of the house. By using a blackout thermal blind to block out the sunlight, you can keep your loft cool and comfortable. In the winter, a blackout thermal blind can also help to insulate the room, keeping it warm and cosy even on the coldest nights. By maintaining a consistent temperature, you’ll be able to enjoy your loft conversion year-round, no matter what the weather is like outside.

No Measuring Needed

The beauty about blinds for Velux® windows is that you do not even need to go rummage around to find your tape measure!  Each window comes with its own code which tallies nicely with our drop-down menus on the Velux® blinds product pages.  The code is located underneath the handle, see the image below.  Please also see our identification guide for more information.  Just identify your window, choose the correct code, add to basket and checkout -it really is that easy.

Manual blinds are a classic and simple option that many people choose. They’re easy to use and offer a variety of colour and style options to match your decor. Whether you prefer blackout blinds for a dark and cosy sleeping environment, or light-filtering blinds to create a soft and gentle ambience, manual blinds are a versatile and affordable solution. Plus, they can be installed quickly and easily without the need for any electrical wiring or other complicated installation processes.  If the blind is out of reach just add to your basket our operation poles which can open both the blind and the window and are available up to 3m long.

If you’re looking for a more advanced solution, solar-powered electric velux® blinds are a great option. These high-tech blinds are designed to be energy-efficient and eco-friendly, using solar panels to power the motor that opens and closes the blinds. Their solar-powered operation meant that no electrician is necessary which makes them an affordable yet deluxe option. Not only does this help you save on energy costs, but it also reduces your carbon footprint.
