Blinds and shutters

How to choose your ideal VELUX blinds and shutters

When you have decided on your perfect VELUX roof window, the time has come to complete your pairing with our wide range of original VELUX blinds and shutters.

The possibilities are endless including manually operated and beautifully designed roller blinds installed on the inside, to anti-heat blackout aluminium shutters mounted on the outside.

But what is the right solution for you and your home? The most important criteria when choosing your ideal blinds and shutters are your needs, the type of room, orientation of your roof windows and if your windows are within reach or out of reach.

Which solution should you go for?

Depending on how you want your roof window to function in the home, there are various blinds and shutter solutions that are suitable for roof windows. We recommend asking yourself the following questions before making your choice:

Do you need a solution to:

• darken a room?
• protect your space from heat?
• ensure privacy, e.g. in the bathroom?
• decoratively enhance a room?

In most cases it is not an "either or", but an "and". Many products fulfil several of these needs simultaneously. VELUX Anti-heat blackout shutters, for example, provide heat protection and blackout at the same time.

If you are unsure about which VELUX solution is best suited to your roof window and your space, you are always welcome to contact our Daylight Advisors or look at our guide that walks you through which blind and shutter best suits which room.

Different blinds and shutters for different needs

VELUX offer blinds and shutters for every roof window type and room, whether you have a skylight or a flat roof window or a pitched roof. Our venetian blinds are particularly well suited to bathrooms, while for bedrooms you may want a complete blackout solution.

Blackout or translucent blinds – or a combination

Our translucent roller blinds and translucent pleated blinds are perfect for living rooms and other spaces where you don’t want to block your view to the outside.

And there’s even more. You can also choose duo blackout roller blinds to combine the two options. They are two blinds in one a blackout roller blind in your preferred colour and a white pleated blind underneath to softly diffuse light.
