A Guide to Velux Windows and Velux Window Blinds

Velux windows, or skylights as they’re also known, are commonly found in loft conversions or above a landing. While they’re incredibly beneficial for flooding a top floor room with natural light, it can be difficult to know who to dress these unique windows to add an element of privacy and light control. Boyd’s Blinds are here to guide you through exactly what Velux windows are and the blinds that will perfectly dress them.

What are Velux windows?

These are windows that are generally angled to fit comfortably into a sloping roof. They’re designed to let in copious amounts of natural light, whilst giving you the ability to effortlessly look up into the night sky. The glazing of Velux windows retains the heat from the sun, which can help to keep heating costs down. The impressive insulation also helps to reduce outside noise levels. Velux windows can also handle the weight of snow and ice in colder conditions, keeping the occupants of the top floor room warm and safe.

What accessories are available for Velux windows?

There are flashings and fixings that have been specifically made for their window products and for a variety of different styles. Blinds and shutters can also be fitted to Velux windows, together with poles, adapters and special maintenance kits. With the advancements in technology, you could even add smart home features, including top-of-the-range security fittings.
