Reduces heat gain and loss

VELUX blackout blinds can improve the energy balance of your house. The back is covered with an aluminium coating that protects from the sun in summer and retains heat in the winter.

Blackout blinds are available in lots of different decorative colours and patterns. All designs have soft lighting effects, creating a soft and warm atmosphere.

The VELUX blackout blind can also be combined with VELUX awning blinds and roller shutters for additional heat protection. Combine with VELUX insect screens for an insect-free environment – even when your window is open.

VELUX blackout blinds with manual operation with control bar as well as electric and solar operation run in side channels made of natural anodised aluminium that prevent light from passing in around the edges.

Installation of electrically operated blinds

Most VELUX roof windows are fitted with pre-installed brackets to ease installation and help you achieve a perfect fit every time. To install an electrically operated blind, simply snap it into place. Then connect the blind to the power supply and lastly your remote control. 

When installing an electrically operated blind in a manually operated roof window, a conversion kit (KUX 100) is required as well. Read more or order one here.
