Exceptional Light Control and Thermal Protection

Cross Blinds has a range of blinds to suit your needs and fit perfectly with your Velux windows. If you want to completely block out light in rooms like bedrooms, the Velux Blackout Roller Blinds are ideal.

For those looking for light control and better insulation, Velux Blackout Energy Pleated Blinds are a great choice. They keep your room comfortable throughout the year and can help cut down on energy bills. These blinds come in various colours and designs and can be manually operated or powered by electricity or solar energy.

For flexibility, we also recommend the Velux Duo Blackout Roller Blinds. With them, you can easily switch from full darkness to light filtering with one blind. Book a free consultation with us, and we can help you find the perfect fit for what you need.

The Perfect Solution for Roof Windows and Skylights

Roof windows are a fantastic way to flood your home with natural light, but they can also cause overheating in the summer and heat loss during the winter. Standard blinds often sag or struggle to operate on an angle, which is why we specialize in authentic Velux blinds.

Our range is designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with your existing Velux windows. Whether you need a blackout blind for a bedroom skylight or a translucent option for a home office to reduce glare, our systems provide a "no-gap" fit that moves effortlessly with the tilt of your window.

Total Control: Blackout and Light Filtering

The primary reason our customers choose genuine Velux blinds from Cross Blinds & Shutters is the perfect fit. Unlike generic alternatives, these blinds run smoothly in side channels that lock the fabric in place, ensuring total darkness when you need it. This makes them the ideal choice for blackout blinds for roof windows in nurseries, guest rooms, or bedrooms, allowing you to sleep undisturbed regardless of the time of day.

Energy Efficiency: Combatting the Scottish Climate

Roof windows are a primary source of heat loss in winter and solar gain in summer. Our thermal Velux blinds feature advanced materials designed to improve your home’s energy efficiency.

In Winter: The insulating fabric creates a barrier that helps retain heat, keeping your loft conversion or attic room cozy.
In Summer: By reflecting solar rays before they heat up your room, our blinds help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

A Style for Every Room

We offer a vast array of colors and textures. Whether you are looking for a vibrant, modern fabric for a children’s room or a sleek, neutral tone for a minimalist kitchen or study, we bring the samples to you. Our made-to-measure roof blinds ensure that your window dressing complements your interior design perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You don't need to worry about measuring! Every Velux window has a unique model plate (usually found on the top of the window frame when it is open) that contains the specific size code. During our free home survey, we will locate this code for you to ensure your new blind is a 100% accurate match.

Absolutely. Our blackout blinds for roof windows are designed to seal the edges of the window frame. This eliminates light leakage, making them the most effective solution for achieving total darkness in bedrooms and loft conversions.

While Velux blinds are designed for an integrated fit, the installation process requires precision to ensure the blind operates smoothly without jamming or sagging. The process involves attaching the side channels to your window frame and securing the blind cassette to the top of the window sash. Because even a slight misalignment can affect the tension and the "no-gap" finish, we always recommend professional installation. Our team ensures the channels are perfectly parallel and the mechanism is correctly tensioned, guaranteeing a flawless, long-lasting fit that won't interfere with your window's operation.

Removing a Velux blind should be done with care to avoid damaging the window frame or the blind’s tension mechanism. You typically need to detach the side channels first by carefully releasing the clips or screws, then unlock the blind cassette from the top mounting brackets. If you are removing them to replace the fabric or upgrade to a newer model, be cautious, as the spring-loaded mechanism can be delicate. If you find your blinds are faulty or you are planning a room renovation, feel free to reach out to us—we can handle the professional removal and discuss your options for a modern, upgraded replacement.
