We have a lot of
possibilities to cover the roof windows today. Blinds, awnings and blinds are used
for this purpose.
From the inside, windows
can be covered with blinds or blinds. In
the window recess, mosquito nets can also be mounted. The first ones are the most
decorative. It is also easier to
use them to achieve the appropriate shade level, which depends on the material
used.
Blinds and internal
blinds
Blinds for roof windows
are made of cotton, bamboo, and most often of polyester fabrics, which have
more and more attractive design. When
looking for effective shutters for roof windows, we should be interested in the
so-called decorative blinds.
A functional proposal
are blackout blinds that will allow effective shading of the room at any time
of the day. This type of roller
blind also improves thermal insulation up to 33%. It owes this to the aluminum coating
of the fabric. We also have
pleated blinds at our disposal, and among them, blackout and pleated blinds -
they effectively darken interiors and at the same time have interesting
decorative qualities. When we
want to effectively cover the window, we use the blackout part, the pleated
part will only provide us with darkness. You
can also maneuver the degree of darkening using both parts of the blind.
A functional way to
cover the roof windows is double-pleated blinds. The inner aluminum insulating coating
effectively protects the room from overheating in the winter and creates an
effective barrier against heat loss, improving the insulation of the window by
up to 34%. The advantage of a
double pleated blind is also the ability to stop it in any position on the
window, eg in the middle of its surface.
On the other hand, in
places where moisture can appear, it is worth using internal blinds, which are
made of aluminum. This material
is resistant to moisture, or it can be cleaned many times.
Exterior blinds and
awnings for roof windows
Covering the roof
windows from the outside we provide ourselves not only with protection against
excessive light or interior heating - in the summer they will reduce the
temperature in the interior by up to 7
° C. It is also an effective barrier for
noise (blinds for roof windows can dampen sounds by 14 dB) - and heat loss,
which we will appreciate in winter - particularly strong aluminum roller blinds
with polyurethane foam filling can not be overestimated.
Made of PVC mesh
awnings, the awning can reduce the temperature in the interior by up to 6
degrees Celsius and transmits from 5 to 15% of daylight. For the winter, put it in the
cassette.
