Roof lantern blinds, motorised or manual.

Style above, comfort below.

First Choice Blinds’ bespoke, belt-driven cellular roof lantern blinds are made to measure to combine style with everyday practicality. The honeycomb structure creates an effective thermal barrier, helping to retain warmth in winter and keep the room cool in summer, while also cutting down on glare and adding privacy overhead. Because the system is belt-driven rather than guidewire-led, there’s nothing left trailing across the glass when the blind is retracted, so the view stays clear. Choose from translucent anti-glare fabrics for everyday use or full blackout options for bedrooms and home cinema rooms, in a range of colours to suit the space.

Any glass roof, any shape.

With decades of experience in the skylight blinds industry, we’ve engineered our roof lantern blinds to fit orangeries, dome windows, pyramid windows, light wells, sky pods, flat roof windows, horizontal roof windows, VELUX® flat roof windows and pretty much any other glass expanse. Whatever shape the roof takes, we template and manufacture to match it, so the blind sits neatly against the frame rather than fighting an awkward angle. It’s a solution we’re regularly asked for by homeowners struggling with overheating, heat loss or glare on the TV underneath a glazed roof — three problems that tend to come as a package with rooflights and orangeries, and that a well-fitted blind solves in one go.

However you like, to operate it.

Manual roof lantern blinds, whether honeycomb or roller, are operated with a telescopic pole that extends up to 1.8m, giving you all the practical benefits of a roof lantern blind without the cost of motorisation. Electric roof lantern blinds can run on battery, solar or mains power and are operated by remote control or wall switch. They’re also compatible with smart home systems such as Alexa and Google Home, so you can open and close blinds with a voice command or from your phone. Whichever option suits your home and budget, we’ll help you choose the right drive system before we measure up.
