With electric blinds in a lantern roof you have a range of options. Using either individual blinds fitted against the glass or a horizontal blind within a frame on the lantern box we can provide a motorised solution that can shade even large larntern roofs with ease.
Thanks to our own ranges of motorisation, you have a lot of flexibility when it comes to electric lanterns. For larger lantern openings our Pure Power system is ideal and can be run from mains supply or rechargeable battery motors with Smart operation options. Our own Pure™ Solo system is ideal for individual blinds, giving you individual operation and smart control.
Roller lantern blinds operate using a frame that is fitted into the base of the lantern, which the blind then runs along.
Our hardware for roller lantern blinds comes in white as standard, but can be customised to any RAL colour.
As all of our roller lantern blinds are wire-free, there are no control cords visible when the blind is retracted.
Roller fabric helps control heat and glare, and is also available in a range of dim-out options.
Roller fabrics offer a neat way of shading a lantern while still letting in enough light to keep the room bright.
While there are a lot of companies offering roller lantern roof blinds, to get a quality blind that will last for years you need expert advice.
The best way to see which options work for you is to arrange a meeting with one of our expert consultants.

We had a roller roof lantern blind (remote controlled) fitted last summer in our south-facing kitchen. It is a God-send! We use it summer and winter on sunny days and cold nights. The room could be uncomfortably hot and too bright on a sunny summer day – now it is cool and pleasant with lovely diffused light.
The solar panel works a treat and as yet has not needed a mains recharge. It is a great piece of kit.
We had a few quotes and they were the best. Paul, the surveyor, was excellent – he really knows his products.
This has been one of the smoothest processes in redoing our house. Conservatory Blinds [now Specialist Blinds] came when they said they would both for the quote and installation. The installer cleaned up after himself completely and we’re very happy with the blinds.
Excellent service on all fronts. Aaron gave me precise, clear details and costings so I understood all that would happen and he showed me samples of blinds so I knew what I was going to have. Friendly service and was totally looked after. Stuart, the fitter, was excellent, polite and very professional. He did the whole job in a day and left the conservatory clear and tidy. It looked stunning when finished.
The work was beautifully done, with great attention to detail. They took enormous care at the planning stage to come up with the solution for a difficult window, which he definitely did. It was wonderful to be able to deal with the same person from start to finish. No other company said they could find a solution. We were very pleased.
Our roof lantern roller blinds can cover areas up to 3.6m long with a single blind. For lantern roofs up to 6m long we fit roller blinds in a “duo” configuration, with the two blinds meeting in the middle.
For larger lanterns up to 8m, we would recommend our honeycomb fabrics rather than rollers.
Our roller lantern roof blinds do not have support wires. Plus, they are designed so that they do not obstruct the lantern roof when the blinds are not in use.
Some extremely large lanterns may need support wires, in which case you may prefer our honeycomb thermal blinds. They have wires hidden within the fabric, which are very discreet when retracted.
If you’re looking for wire free roof lantern blinds, our bespoke blinds offer the perfect solution for an unrestricted view.
The entirety of our range can be manual or motorised. We cater to various systems such as Somfy, Google Home and Amazon Home, as well as Lutron, Crestron, Elan, Apple HomeKit and more. If you need setting up from scratch, we have our very own bespoke motorisation systems. Whatever your setup looks like, we have a way for you.
Where we fit the frame of the lantern roof blind can depend on the exact design of the lantern itself, however in general it does not matter if the blind is fitted higher up, closer to the glass, or lower down near the base of the lantern.
Yes, we provide all initial measurement and consultation services free of charge or obligation to purchase. Our expertise and advice will never come at a premium.

Some clients are surprised to learn that their lantern has been built slightly out of square. It’s rarely noticeable by eye, but these differences can have a huge impact when measuring for bespoke roller lantern blinds. Larger lanterns can also be very tricky to install.
Our installation team are highly experienced in measuring and installing horizontal blinds, so you can be assured of a perfect fit.
