Can You Soundproof Skylights?
Excessive noise isn’t just an annoyance. It can be incredibly distracting too. For many, soundproofing certain rooms around their home is the best way to better enjoy their spaces. Think bedrooms where you can drift off in quiet comfort or offices where focusing on the task at hand becomes significantly easier. When crafting a home that perfectly fits our needs, it’s easy to think that soundproofing comes solely from the materials in our walls. But windows – especially roof windows and skylights – can also make a room excessively noisy. So, can you soundproof skylights? And, is it possible to do this in a cost-effective and versatile way, such as with the right skylight blinds?

What Are The Best Skylight Blinds For South-Facing Windows?
Skylight windows are a common feature in many extensions and loft conversions, and for good reason. Because of their optimal positioning, they are able to draw in as much natural light as possible. When designing a new space, optimal light availability is how you ensure that this new room will meet the needs of its future activities. Dark and dinghy loft spaces can be transformed into functional bedrooms or offices. New extensions can allow you to install additional kitchen appliances and draw in the natural beauty of your garden space. As with gardens, south-facing windows will draw in the most light. But is this also welcomed? And how can you combine this abundance of natural light with a blind that helps you to get the most out of this space?
Do Skylight Blinds Reduce Heat?
In recent years, the trend for renovating homes instead of moving has been ever-increasing. Faced with increasing house prices and the rise in energy bills, homeowners have re-directed much of their assigned savings to adding more space instead of seeking out new properties. With this has come the rise in single-floor extensions and loft extensions. And, as such, so has the rising interest in roof windows and the window blinds that cover them. When we set out to design a new room, optimising on natural light feels like the most logical focus. However, too much natural light – and, as a result, heat – can turn a new room into one that few people want to frequent. In this guide, we’ll discuss whether skylight blinds can reduce heat and what considerations you should make.
How Effective Are Conservatory Roof Blinds?
When it comes to bringing as much light into your home as possible, many homeowners opt to have a conservatory built. Not only does this new room expand the space in your home. Conservatories also bridge that gap between indoors and out, allowing you to appreciate your garden for even longer. They can be transformed into playrooms for children, entertaining spaces for loved ones or relaxing spots where members of the household can while away the hours. The right conservatory roof blind will help you to optimise the new room. But, how effective are they? And, should you consider investing in them, even though you’ve just spent so much time designing the perfect space? Read our latest blog post here.
