Side-channel blinds engineered for skylights, roof-mounted glazing, and inclined windows — gravity-defying tensioned systems that hold position at any angle. Cut overhead solar heat gain by up to 50%.
A skylight blind is a tensioned-fabric blind engineered specifically for roof windows, inclined glazing, and skylight openings — where gravity prevents standard blinds from holding position. Side-channel tension rails or sprung systems keep the fabric flat against the glass at any angle from horizontal (0°) to vertical (90°).
A spring-tensioned roller pulls the fabric back; tensioned side-channels hold the fabric flat against the glass. Stop the blind anywhere along its travel — the system holds that position regardless of inclination. Manual handle, telescopic pole, or motorised drive with sun + temperature sensors for automated overhead-glazing protection.
Roof glazing receives the most intense Gulf solar exposure — a single uncovered skylight adds significant cooling load to the room below. Skylight blinds cut overhead solar heat gain by up to 50%, eliminate disorienting overhead glare, and protect interior finishes from intense UV radiation through the glass.
Roof glazing is the harshest UV environment on a building. LouvLux skylight blinds use Gulf-sun-rated UV-stable fabrics, anodised aluminium side-channels, and IP-rated sealed motor housings — engineered for 15+ years of daily operation under maximum overhead solar exposure with minimal maintenance.
Independently tested and certified to international standards.
Four skylight configurations for residential roof windows, atrium glazing, and architectural overhead glass.
Open-weave technical fabrics that filter UV and overhead solar heat while preserving daylight quality. The default specification for residential roof windows and atrium glazing where natural light through skylights is the design priority.
Triple-pass coated blackout fabric in side-channel tension rails — 100% light blocking through the skylight when fully closed. Specified for bedrooms with skylights, home cinemas with overhead glazing, and any space where total darkness through a skylight is required.
Cellular honeycomb fabric in tensioned skylight tracks — combining 50% solar heat reduction with the energy-efficient air-cell insulation that traditional honeycomb blinds deliver. The premium specification for energy-efficient villas and Gulf-climate residential.
Custom triangular and trapezoidal skylight blinds, motorised systems with sun + temperature sensor automation, smart-home and BMS integration, FR-certified hospitality grade, and project-specific bespoke fabrications for atrium and architectural overhead glazing.
Specified across residential roof windows, hotel atriums, and architectural skylight glazing.
