Skylight Blinds UK: Supply and Installation
We understand that roof windows and skylights bring beautiful natural light into your space, but sometimes you need control over that light – whether it’s to reduce glare, manage temperature, or create the perfect sleeping environment.
Our comprehensive range of skylight blinds offers the ideal solution for every home across the UK.
What Are Skylight Blinds and Why Do You Need Them?
Skylight blinds are specially designed window coverings that fit seamlessly onto roof windows and skylights.
Unlike standard window blinds, skylight blinds must contend with gravity and angled installation, requiring specific tensioning systems and secure mounting methods to ensure they stay in place and operate smoothly.
The need for skylight blinds becomes apparent when you consider the unique challenges that roof windows present.
During summer months, skylights can turn bedrooms into greenhouses, making it impossible to sleep comfortably. In winter, they can be a source of heat loss, driving up your energy bills.
Without proper coverage, skylights can also create unwanted glare on television screens or computer monitors, making relaxation or work difficult.
Our expertly fitted skylight blinds address all these concerns whilst maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your living spaces.
Types of Skylight Blinds We Offer For Homes And Offices
At BBS Window Blinds, we provide a comprehensive selection of skylight blind options to suit every requirement and budget. Each type offers distinct advantages, and our experienced team can help you choose the perfect solution for your specific needs.
Manual Skylight Blinds

Solar-Powered Skylight Blinds
Our innovative solar-powered motorised blinds harness the power of the sun through a small solar panel, storing energy in an integrated battery. They offer all the convenience of motorised operation with the added benefit of being completely self-sufficient.
Benefits of Installing Skylight Blinds
The advantages of properly fitted skylight blinds extend far beyond simple light control. Let’s explore the key benefits that make them an essential addition to any home with roof windows:
- Temperature regulation becomes significantly easier with quality skylight blinds. During summer, they act as a barrier against excessive solar heat gain, keeping your rooms cooler and reducing the strain on air conditioning systems. In winter, they provide an additional layer of insulation, helping to retain warmth and potentially lowering your heating bills.
- Light control is perhaps the most obvious benefit, but its impact on your daily life shouldn’t be underestimated. Our blackout fabrics create the perfect sleeping environment, essential for shift workers or anyone sensitive to early morning light. Meanwhile, our dimout and screen options provide privacy and glare reduction whilst still allowing filtered natural light to brighten your space.
- Energy efficiency is increasingly important to homeowners, and skylight blinds play a crucial role in reducing energy consumption. By preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, they help maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reducing the workload on your heating and cooling systems.
