Useful information for customers building in the future
At this time of year, I get lots of enquiries about roof blinds. Many people contact me looking for blinds for their Velux windows, but in around 80% of cases, the windows are actually Keylite, FAKRO, or another brand.
Something worth considering when choosing roof windows for a new build or extension is the range of blinds available afterwards.
Velux is one of the few roof-window manufacturers that offers an extensive range of blinds, including mains-operated motorised blinds, solar-powered blinds and lantern blinds, at a reasonable price.
So, if you’re building or renovating and know you’ll want blinds in your roof windows, it’s worth thinking about the availability and cost of blinds when choosing the windows themselves.
It can save you a lot of hassle — and expense — further down the line.
