Skylight Blind
Shading for glass roofs and ceiling skylights — the hottest spot in most homes, because the sun falls straight through all day. Made to order for each roof, always measured on site first.

Skylight Blind
Roof glazing and ceiling skylights deliver daylight that side windows simply can't. They also bring a problem side windows don't have: the sun comes straight down through them for most of the day, with no eaves to shade it and no corner of the room that escapes it.
So a skylight blind isn't an ordinary blind mounted on a ceiling. The fabric needs a frame or side channels to hold it, because gravity pulls it into a sag instead of pulling it taut the way it does on a vertical window. The wider the opening, the more that matters.
And no two glass roofs are alike — different pitch, different framing, a different distance between the glass and anything you can fix to. That's why this category is genuinely made to order for each roof, and why it's always measured on site. There are no off-the-shelf sizes here.
The limits up front, so nothing is a surprise once it's on the wall.
Work through these in order and the choice narrows fast.
A steeply pitched glass roof and a nearly flat one are different problems: the pitch decides which way gravity pulls the fabric and how much support it needs. This has to be seen in person — photographs alone don't settle it.
Sitting the blind hard against the glass makes the heat trapped between them harder to shed. Leaving room for air to move through is a design conversation to have up front, not a fix to attempt afterwards.
A bedroom under a skylight usually wants something opaque so daytime sleep is possible. A stairwell or a kitchen normally just wants the glare knocked back while staying bright. Judge it on how the room is used, not on heat alone.
Dust on a ceiling blind is invisible from below until it's thick. If getting to it means a tall ladder or scaffolding every time, the cleaning simply won't happen. Work out the access route while it's still a design, not a fixture.
Some glass roofs have aluminium framing that's easy to fix to; others are bare glass spanning steelwork some distance away, which changes the installation completely. This is the number one reason the site visit comes first.
There's no published starting price for this category yet, because we don't have a confirmed figure to put up — and we'd rather not post a middle-of-the-road number that misleads you from the start.
What a skylight job really costs depends on the size of the opening, the pitch of the roof, what structure there is to fix into, and how hard the spot is to reach. None of those four can be judged from photographs. Message us and describe the roof, and we'll work it out with you.
A ceiling blind collects dust on its upper face where nobody in the room can see it — until the day you open it and it rains down. Put it on a schedule, like the annual deep clean, rather than waiting to notice.
Marks up there are usually water spots or caked dust. Dab with a well-wrung damp cloth and let it dry completely before closing the blind. Avoid solvent cleaners — most solar fabrics carry a surface coating.
Anything fixed to a roof takes vibration from wind and movement as the structure expands and contracts with heat. Running an eye over the fixings once a year is worth doing — and another reason to plan the access early.
A blind working on a slope carries different forces from one hanging vertically. If it starts to drag or the fabric runs off line, stop and look before using it again — forcing it is what turns a small misalignment into a permanent one.

It makes a clear difference to direct sun — no more shafts of light in your eyes, and furniture stops getting cooked. But the glass itself still absorbs heat and re-radiates it, so this isn't a complete answer to a hot room. Expect a noticeable improvement rather than a cure.
Because a skylight isn't just a width and a height. It needs the pitch, the structure to fix into, the distance from glass to fixing point, and a safe way up. Get any one of those wrong and the whole thing can't be installed — unlike an ordinary window, where width and height are enough to work from.
Not quite what you pictured? These are the closest alternatives.
Vertical windows in the same room usually pair with motorized rollers — the same family of fabric, easy to tone-match.
For the tall glass wall beneath the same skylight, verticals cover large areas at a predictable rate.
If it's a living room or bedroom, curtains on the side windows keep the space from feeling too hard-edged.
