Velux Blinds

Optimise Your Loft Space with Velux Blinds

Loft conversions are a popular way to add space and value to homes in Inverness and the Highlands. However, those beautiful roof windows can bring challenges, from excessive heat in the summer to significant heat loss in the winter. Velux blinds are specifically engineered to solve these problems while adding a finished, professional look to your attic rooms. At Ness Blinds & Floors, we provide a full range of blinds compatible with Velux and other major roof window brands.

The Importance of Blackout for Roof Windows

Because roof windows face directly toward the sky, they catch every bit of light—which can be a problem during the “white nights” of a Highland summer. If your loft conversion is a bedroom or a nursery, Blackout Velux blinds are essential. Our range features a “pick and click” system that ensures the fabric sits tightly within the frame, blocking out virtually 100% of the light and ensuring a good night’s sleep regardless of the time of year.

Managing Temperature in the Highlands

Roof windows are also prone to the “greenhouse effect.” During a sunny day in the Highlands, a loft can become uncomfortably hot very quickly. Conversely, on a frosty night in Inverness, heat rises and escapes through the glass. We offer specialised Thermal Pleated blinds and Heat-Protection Awning blinds that act as a climate control system for your roof, keeping the space comfortable all year round.

Manual, Electric, or Solar Powered?

For those out-of-reach windows, you don’t need a ladder every time you want to adjust the light. At Ness Blinds, we offer a variety of operation methods:

Manual: Using a simple control bar or a telescopic pole.

Electric: Connected directly to your home’s power supply.

Solar Powered: The most popular choice for retro-fitting in Inverness. These use a discreet solar cell to charge an internal battery, allowing you to operate your blinds via remote control without any wiring required.

Expert Advice and Fitting in Inverness

Identifying the correct blind for your roof window can be confusing. Every Velux window has a small data plate on the frame with a code (e.g., GGL MK04). Our team at Ness Blinds & Floors can help you decode this information to ensure you get the exact right size. We provide a professional fitting service across the Highlands, ensuring your blinds are installed correctly and function perfectly, giving your loft conversion the finishing touch it deserves.
