Specialist fitting keeps the fabric taut and precisely fitted against the glass of angled roof windows, avoiding the sagging that's common with DIY alternatives in the loft-level rooms found in some of Kidbrooke Village's larger townhouses.
Loft bedrooms and landings in Kidbrooke's townhouses are lit by Velux, Fakro or Keylite roof windows, and each make needs its own side channels. We read the nameplate or the size code on the survey so the blind is tensioned to that pane and does not sag across the glass.
A dim-out cloth is the usual brief for a study under the roof. A lighter fabric is used where the landing should stay bright, and a blackout cloth is a separate specification when the room is slept in.
Roof glass over a top-floor room heats up faster than a vertical window. An insulating or reflective cloth, fitted close to the pane, is what takes the edge off that gain in summer and slows heat loss on cold nights, without boarding the window in.
Side guides are part of the system, not an optional extra, because an unguided cloth on a slope will belly. We fit and tension them so the blind still travels after a season of daily use.
Two roof windows over one landing are measured as separate codes, even when they look the same from the stairs.
Our skylight blinds are compatible with Velux, Fakro and Keylite roof windows, which covers most of the skylights found across Kidbrooke's townhouse-style streets and converted loft spaces.
Insulating fabrics help manage heat gain and loss in loft-style rooms, keeping top-floor bedrooms and studies more comfortable through the seasons.
Every roof window is measured against its actual make and model before fitting, rather than assuming a standard size across a row of similar-looking townhouses.
Skylight blinds for these townhouses start with the roof-window code. A row of similar houses can mix two generations of Velux, or a Fakro on an extension beside an original Keylite, and the cassette from one will not clip into the other.
We also note whether the pane is a centre-pivot or a top-hung vent, because the blind has to clear the way the sash turns for cleaning. That check is done in the loft, not from a photo of the outside roof.
Translucent, dim-out and blackout cloths cover landings, studies and bedrooms. Where the brief is sleep, we specify the blackout version with its side channels seated properly; a standard cloth with a gap at the jamb will not give a dark room, whatever the swatch promised.
Manual operation with a wand or pole is the norm where the window is reachable from the floor or a short step. A motor is considered only when the pane is genuinely out of reach over a stair, and the power supply is agreed before the blind is made.
The fabric is tensioned in side guides so it stays flat against the slope. That is also what stops the blind rattling when wind lifts the roof window slightly on a gusty day across the open side of the Village.
If the rest of the house is being dressed at the same time, the roof windows are on the same measure. They are ordered against their own codes and fitted with the vertical blinds, not left as a second project.

Specialist fitting keeps the fabric taut and precisely fitted against the glass of angled roof windows, avoiding the sagging common with DIY alternatives, which not only looks untidy but lets more light and draught through than intended.
Compatibility with Velux, Fakro and Keylite covers most roof windows found in converted top-floor spaces across the area, so we can typically match the fitting to whatever’s already installed rather than needing a custom solution.
Yes — insulating fabrics help manage heat gain and loss in loft-style apartments and offices, keeping top-floor rooms noticeably more comfortable through the seasons than they’d be with the roof window left uncovered.
The service includes an on-site measurement against the actual roof window make and model, a fabric choice suited to the room, and precise fitting by our own team, backed by our quality fitting guarantee that covers the mechanism as well as the fabric.

A number of Kidbrooke Village's townhouses include a roof window over a top-floor bedroom or landing, a detail that's easy to overlook when planning window treatments for a new home.
Skylight blinds fill that gap, letting light in or blocking it out on demand, with a fitting specifically designed for an angled pane of glass rather than a vertical window.
Demand is genuinely mixed rather than seasonal: families move into these townhouses throughout the year, which keeps our local fitting schedule busy on a rolling basis.
For homeowners planning a full window-treatment fit-out after moving in, that means a fitting partner who treats the roof window as part of the same project rather than a separate afterthought.
With Kelly's Blinds, Kidbrooke homeowners get a made-to-measure skylight blinds fitting service built specifically for an angled roof window.
Top-floor bedrooms and landings in the townhouse streets are the rooms that ask for this. Apartment towers rarely have a domestic roof window, and we do not pretend otherwise when the enquiry is for a high-rise flat.
Summer heat under the roof is the reason many households call after the first season, once a bare pane has shown how warm the room gets from late morning. The blind is then specified for glare and for that gain together.
