Roof blinds - aesthetics and functionality in one product

Roof windows should be very well shielded from the sun. The roof heats up the fastest not only when it is hot outside, but also on cooler but sunny days. The panes of the windows located on the roof also heat up quickly, and through them about 80% of the heat gets inside.

Roof blinds help to maintain a pleasant temperature in the rooms located in the attic. Usable attic is usually a place where there are rooms intended only for household members: a bedroom, a children's room, a bathroom or a dressing room. Thus, these are places where you may not spend a lot of time during the day, but it is very important to ensure a comfortable rest in the evening there. It would be difficult in interiors heated all day long.

Types of roof roller shutters

In the Knall store we offer Fakro roof blinds and Velux roof blinds. They are characterized by aesthetics and very good quality of workmanship. It is important that when choosing a roller shutter to check for the correct model on the nameplate. The nameplate is placed on both Fakro roof windows and Velux roof windows. Thanks to it, we do not have to measure the roof roller blind on our own.

Roof blinds are fabric blinds (classic and blackout), blinds and pleats (pleated blinds). The setting of the fabric of the fabric roller blinds is manually adjusted. Blackout material is gummed and provides 100% darkening of the room. Roof window louvers operate in the same way as those intended for vertical windows. They are made of horizontal lamellas, which are placed in smooth side guides. The guides keep the shutter slats in place. Pleats are an interesting solution. Their fabric is placed between two slats, which, however, are not on the sides, but in the upper and lower part of the cover. This allows you to slide the material from above and below. The roller blind can therefore be located in the central part of the window pane. In addition, the cover looks very decorative, because its material, as the name suggests, is pleated.

Selection of roof shutters

The choice of roof roller shutters should be adapted to the color of the interior, its style and function. The colors, of course, go hand in hand with the overall interior. In all types of roof roller shutters, it is extensive and you can easily choose a color that matches the appearance of the room. The interior design also influences the style of the window blind. With a more minimalist design, pleats or fabric blinds are very good. Roller blinds, on the other hand, are a very universal product and will suit different styles. The topic of color selection returns here again. One-color materials maintained in neutral colors will fit into a modern and minimalist style. The more that in this type of interior there are often colorful accessories such as colorful blankets or pillows.

The function depends mainly on the type of room, but in the case of roof roller shutters it is a bit different than in the case of those used to cover vertical windows. Attic rooms are primarily used for relaxation, therefore they often do not need to be well lit during the day. Often, therefore, darker and better shading colors or gummed fabrics are selected here. However, if there is, for example, a studio in the attic, a slightly lighter color will be better, which will cover the window, but will not completely obscure the room.

An undoubted advantage of roof roller shutters is a wide range of products, as well as their aesthetics and functionality. The roof window should be sheltered from the sun, and the choice of roller shutters allows you to choose the one that is most suitable.
