Rooflight blinds need to travel horizontally without sagging. Our skylight configurations use a perimeter frame — either four-sided, three-sided or paired head/hem boxes — to keep the fabric flat and concealed.
Each configuration can be sized to your specific opening. See Technical Drawings and BIM files for exact details.
A complete frame around the skylight — head box, hem box and two side channels — the blind is fully concealed on all four edges.
Head box on one long side, matched with two side channels — used where the fourth side meets a wall.
Head cassette at one end, hem-bar box at the other — the blind runs end-to-end between them with no side channels.
Single head cassette at one end and the blind hangs free into the rooflight — simplest and most economical option.
Twin blinds (e.g. translucent + blackout) in a single frame — stacked or side-by-side in three-sided frames.
The questions specifiers and installers ask most often when drawing up skylights.
