Roof lantern blinds

Decide how you will operate the blind

For a high lantern, a motor can be more convenient than a long pole. Consider the proposed power supply, a reachable charging position and where the remote will be kept. Solar-assisted charging is assessed against the panel position and actual daylight.

If choosing manual operation, check that a draw pole can reach the handle safely and that furniture will not obstruct access. A manual blind still needs an achievable operating position.

Allow for the frame and the fabric stack

The blind frame needs an appropriate fixing surface and clearance from roof handles, vents and other obstructions. The gathered fabric remains at one or both ends when open; its space should be considered alongside the view through the roof.

G1 Split Stack moves opposing stacks together. SkyLite Dual Fabric allows two materials to be drawn independently. Those are different functions, even though both arrangements have fabric at opposite ends.

Send a useful roof photograph

Include a view of the entire opening from below, closer photographs of the proposed fixing area and approximate width and length. Tell us about the roof angle and access below it. We confirm final dimensions, limits and fitting arrangements before order.
