Let There Be (Controlled) Light
Adding a rooflight is one of the most effective ways to bring more natural light into your home—but with all that light comes the need to manage it. Whether you’re hoping to create a restful bedroom, reduce screen glare in a home office, or keep your space cool in the summer months, a blind is often the finishing touch that makes your rooflight even more versatile.
But if you’re considering rooflight blinds, one question naturally follows: should you go for manual or electric? At Roof Maker, we supply made-to-measure electric blinds by SKY-BLIND, made to pair perfectly with our bespoke rooflights—and in most cases, we believe they offer a more seamless, modern solution.
Why Do I Need a Blind for My Rooflight?
A rooflight might be all about the view and the sunshine—but comfort and control are just as important.
- Light control – Block out harsh midday rays or soften the morning sun.
- Privacy – Especially useful in bathrooms or bedrooms overlooked by neighbours.
- Temperature regulation – Keep heat out in summer and reduce heat loss in winter.
- Daily comfort – Whether you’re watching a film, cooking, or working, blinds give you flexible control over your environment.
Why We Recommend Electric Rooflight Blinds
While manual blinds might seem like the simpler choice, electric blinds offer far greater benefits—particularly when they’re built to fit seamlessly into your rooflight from day one.
Here’s why they make sense for most spaces:
- Effortless control – Open or close your blinds with the push of a button. Ideal for high ceilings or hard-to-reach rooflights.
- Streamlined style – With no visible cords or rods, electric blinds deliver a cleaner, more minimal finish.
- Made to measure – Our blinds are bespoke, just like our rooflights. You get a tailored fit with a sleek, integrated look.
- Pre-installed option – Order your blind with your rooflight and we’ll pre-fit it at the factory. That means quicker, easier installation and a perfect finish.
- Multiple finishes available – Choose blackout or dim-out fabrics to match the needs of your space.
Before & After: See the Difference a Blind Can Make
Blinds are often underrated when it comes to interior transformation. Whether it’s about ambience or practicality, here’s how a well-chosen electric blind can change the way a room feels and functions.
- Home office – A well-lit space is essential for productivity, but too much sun can cause glare or wash out your screen. An electric blind lets you filter the light as needed—ideal for working from home in comfort.
- Bedroom – Want to wake up naturally? Leave your blind open. Prefer a lie-in? Choose a blackout blind and block the light entirely. With an electric setup, you won’t even need to leave the bed.
- Living space – Set the mood throughout the day by controlling the sunlight entering your living room or kitchen extension. Electric blinds make it simple to go from bright and airy to soft and shaded.
