Velux®, Skylight & Roof Lantern Blinds: Made-to-Measure Comfort From Above

Roof windows and skylights are fantastic sources of natural daylight — but without the right blind, they can lead to glare, overheating, or privacy issues.
At Etienne, we offer fully bespoke solutions for all types of overhead glazing, including Velux®, skylights, and flat roof lanterns.
Our expertly designed blinds help you make the most of the light while giving you control over your environment.
Whether you're upgrading a kitchen extension, managing heat in a loft conversion, or finishing a garden room with a roof lantern, Etienne’s roof blind solutions are elegant, discreet, and effective — professionally measured, installed, and tailored to your needs.

Smart Blinds for All Roof Types

Etienne supplies and fits blinds for a wide variety of roof windows - whether branded or bespoke - with specialist options to match each type:

Velux® Windows

We supply genuine Velux® blinds, made to perfectly match your window code and dimensions. Choose from blackout, translucent, thermal, or solar-powered options.

Flat Roof Lanterns

For modern glass boxes and kitchen extensions, we offer tensioned blinds that cover wide horizontal glazing, including electrically operated Duette® or pleated blinds mounted in neat frames.

Skylights & Rooflights

If your window isn’t Velux®, we can still create a bespoke fit using our custom measuring service. Our blinds suit both pitched and flat configurations with manual or motorised options.

Atriums & Glazed Ceilings

Large roof glazing can be covered with tracked or zip-tensioned blinds for total light control, ideal for commercial or high-end residential applications.

A Range of Styles and Benefits

  • Blackout Blinds – Ideal for bedrooms or home cinemas, blackout roof blinds block light completely and help regulate temperature.
