How to choose roller blind fabrics for your skylight
The skylight in the attic or in the room is a bit magical. This is a room full of natural light and not affected by noise, where we can consider the starry sky. On the other hand, this is also a sunny room. In order to avoid overheating of the environment, it is very important to choose the roller blind fabric products correctly.
At UNITEC, we provide custom roller blinds for skylights, allowing us to create a space that encourages relaxation and provides us with thermal comfort. The frame is made of bending-resistant aluminum and consists of a drawer and a side guide. The roller blind fabric is hidden in the drawer. The side guides ensure a good grip of the fabric. The roller blind is manually operated by a chain, and its height can be adjusted according to your preferences. Next, we will explain how to design custom roller blinds through the configurator.
How to configure the sunroof custom roller blind?
UNITEC’s sales staff will help you to design a type of roller blind with the exact size of the skylight. Product configuration is simple, but you must consider certain aspects.
1. Open the window and look for the nameplate. She can be found in the upper right or upper left corner of the window sash. Check the manufacturer.
2. If your windows are branded, you can find additional information about window sizes.
3. Measure the distance between the inner edges of the window glass (please note: this is different from a measuring cup; if measured in this way, the length of the custom roller blind may be too narrow and will allow light to pass through the sides).
Using this data, you can configure a custom roller blind to fit your skylight perfectly.
Which fabric to choose for custom roller blinds for skylights?
When designing our sunroof custom roller blinds, you can also choose the color and type of fabric. There are two types of fabrics for our sunroof custom roller blinds to choose from. The translucent fabric protects us from sunlight and softens natural light to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Since it has no transparency, although we can see the shadows on the fabric, it can keep us private. For rooms where we spend a lot of time during the day and take full advantage of natural light, such as living rooms, offices or kitchens, this is a good choice.
The blackout roller blind uses thick fabrics to bring the entire room into darkness and provide maximum privacy. The additional insulating coating reflects ultraviolet rays. In this way, the blackout roller blind will not let the heat pass in the summer or in the cold winter, thus increasing the thermal comfort of our house and saving a lot of energy. Pleasant temperature and insufficient light can guarantee you a good night’s sleep, so it is recommended to install this type of roller blind in the bedroom skylight.
