Custom Manual Blinds for Roof Lanterns

Elevate the functionality of your roof lantern with our Custom Manual Blinds, tailored to fit roof lanterns as well as flat/pitched roof skylights.

These bespoke blinds offer a manual control mechanism, allowing you to easily adjust light entry and privacy according to your needs.

Whether you’re looking to reduce glare, improve insulation, or simply add a stylish touch to your room, our Custom Manual Blinds provide the perfect solution, custom-fitted to your exact specifications.

Each of our blinds comes with a precision-engineered 20mm quarter circle PVC trim, designed to seamlessly cover any gaps post-installation, ensuring a perfect fit and enhanced aesthetic appeal.

Important: All blinds are made to order and are not refundable if measured incorrectly. Please check our Measuring Guide below before finalising your purchase. 

To ensure accurate measurements for your blinds, please follow the steps below:

1. Measure the Opening: Start by measuring the width and height of your opening from plasterboard to plasterboard. It's important to measure both dimensions accurately to ensure a proper fit.

2. Check for Consistency: We advise measuring both sides of the opening to detect any variations. In instances where discrepancies occur—such as finding one side to be 550mm wide and the other 540mm wide always use the smaller measurement. This ensures the blinds will fit within the narrowest part of the opening.

3. Determine the Opening Size: Having followed the steps above, you have now determined the size of your opening.

4. Adjust for Clearance: After obtaining the opening size, subtract 10mm from both the width and height to provide the necessary clearance. For instance, if the opening measures 2000mm x 1000mm, you would then order a blind that measures 1990mm x 990mm.

Note, we provide a plastic lid that sticks to the plasterboard and goes around the edge of the blind to make sure there is no visible gap

This adjusted measurement accounts for any necessary clearances, ensuring your blind fits perfectly and operates smoothly within the opening.

Preparation: Each blind frame is already equipped with pre-drilled screw holes for your convenience.

1. Positioning Your Blind: Carefully hold and place the blind in the desired recess. Although we suggest positioning the blind 200mm below the glazing for a pleasing look, adjust this based on your preference. 

2. Marking Drill Points: While holding the blind steady, use a pencil to mark the wall through the frame's pre-drilled holes. This will indicate where you need to drill.

3. Drilling: Remove the blind and drill at the marked spots on your wall. Proceed to insert the appropriate rawl plugs into these holes.

4. Securing the Blind: Now, realign the blind with the drilled holes and fix it securely in place. 

5. Finishing Touches: Apply the included trims around the blind to neatly cover any gaps. Prior to application, clean the corresponding surface areas with the provided wipe for optimal trim adhesion.
