Product overview
About this product
Hexacell G1 shades a roof lantern with cellular fabric carried inside a four-sided frame. Its belt drive sits within the side channels, leaving the open part of the glazing free from spanning guide wires when the fabric retracts. It suits projects where regular adjustment from a remote is more practical than reaching a handle.
The fabric choice sets the light effect. A light-filtering cloth softens daylight; a blackout cloth blocks light through the material. Edge brushes and the fit around the frame also matter, so we discuss the whole installation when room darkening is a priority.
Power and access deserve attention before the ceiling is finished. Mains, rechargeable battery and suitable solar-assisted arrangements are available. We confirm the motor, controls, cable or charging position and service-cover orientation in your quotation.
Keep future access practical
Downward-facing covers provide access from the room side. Upward-facing covers leave a smoother underside but can make access harder if a fault leaves the blind closed. We explain the trade-off for the selected motor and power supply.
What to send for an estimate
Send the approximate opening size, a photograph looking up into the lantern and the room postcode. Tell us whether electrical power is available nearby and whether you want filtered daylight or room darkening.

Check before ordering

- Solar charging depends on glazing, light levels and panel position; a reachable charging provision may still be needed.
- A motorised screen must not obstruct a required escape route when power is unavailable.
