What Affects the Price of Roof Lantern Blinds?
Several factors can influence the cost of your roof lantern blind:
- 📏 Size – Larger roof lanterns need more fabric and stronger systems
- ⚡ Motorisation – Electric blinds are more convenient but add to the cost (battery and solar-powered options are slightly more expensive)
- 🎨 Fabric choice – We don't charge extra for blackout or antiglare thermal fabrics
- 🔧 Installation – Choosing self-fit blinds over hiring an installer can save hundreds (or even thousands!). All our blinds include clear fitting guides and how-to videos.
You don’t need to spend thousands to get a cool, comfortable and stylish space — unless you want to 😉
