Lantern roofs and skylights are an excellent way to refresh a room. Our lantern roof blinds offer an easy, modern way to control light and shading.
Our Pure™ lantern blinds let you adjust just how much light you want to let into your favourite room. Control temperatures and regulate your environment, cooling in the summer and insulating in the colder months.
Lantern blinds can be large and complex (small space, lots of pitched windows). Our team of experts have developed unique blinds specifically to tackle such intricate projects.
Also available: Manual roof lantern blinds, Large Lantern Roof Blinds, Orangery Roof Blinds
Our lantern roof blinds can be fitted in various configurations, including side-by-side and end-to-end.
Honeycomb Duette® fabrics are an excellent insulator, and will help keep the heat controlled even with larger lantern roofs.
Our lantern roof blind hardware is designed to be minimal - allowing us to hide the frame inside the edge of the lantern where possible.
All of our roller lantern blinds are wire-free, so there are no control cords covering the lantern when the blind is retracted.
Our hardware for roller lantern blinds comes in white as standard, but can be customised to any RAL colour.
Roller fabric helps control heat and glare, and is also available in a range of dim-out options.
Our larger lantern roof blinds can use heavy duty motors, which have been designed and tested to move large horizontal blinds quickly and smoothly.
We have a range of control options - including handsets, wall switches and smart control - that make controlling multiple lantern blinds as easy as pushing a button.

Context: The 4x5m garden room was completed just over 12 months ago and is my living space in our bungalow. However, the roof lantern has caused problems with intense direct sunlight given the room’s south facing aspect.
The electric blind perfectly matches the decor, the quality is superb, the frame and mounting are discreet, and the operation of the blind is simple and smooth. It is the perfect final touch and my living space now feels finished.
The work was very professionally undertaken. All the supporting rails are hidden on top out of sight so when the blinds are closed only the blinds themselves are visible. Any mess was totally cleaned up on completion and there was a comprehensive demonstration of all workings on fitting. Highly recommended.
Really pleased with the installation of dual blinds to our large, 4.6m long roof lantern in fabric to match our window blinds. A very neat job by our installer, the dual blinds open and close perfectly in sync. We can thoroughly recommend this company to deal with.
There are two ways to fit a lantern blind: Shaped roof blinds and horizontal blinds:
1. Shaped roof blinds are fitted individually against the glass and tailored to fit your lantern roof precisely. This option opens up the window space and allows you to choose which blind you want down or up depending on how the sun passes across the windows. Plus, our expert installers are able to fit your blinds around any obstructions or awkwardly shaped windows.
2. Horizontal Blinds typically involve one, two, or three large blinds depending on the size of your lantern roof and are fitted on rails on either side of the lantern box. These blinds allow you to control the amount of heat and light coming into the room without having to buy a lot of blinds to cover each panel of glass. When shut, horizontal blinds can also lower the air volume of the room below, making it easier to heat.
Yes, adding a lantern blind to your room will help reduce heat transmission, and so keep your room cooler in the warmer months. As it also improves insulation, it will also help keep the heat in the room during the colder months when the weather cools down.
Yes, our lantern roof blinds are available in a wide range of honeycomb and roller dim-out fabrics, all designed to reduce heat and glare while also keeping the room dark.
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.
