Loft conversions have many different variations and a conversion of the loft of your home may end up as a lot of things. The owners of homes often convert their loft areas and make them storage places, extra bathrooms, use them for recreational purposes, for space for relaxation, for an office or a bedroom. And whatever the use for the loft space is, there are Velux blinds (or as we say in Poland Rolety VELUX) which are suitable for every option.
If you decide to use your loft room in order to convert it for using as a sleeping accommodation, your best choice probably will be the Velux blackout blinds. These are especially applicable in case your loft windows are facing east or south and you enjoy the late sleeping on a Saturday or Sunday morning. These blinds, also known as DKL type, are decorative when seen from the inside of the house. However, on the external side they are combined with aluminum which obliterates all the external light sources completely. Velux blackout blinds are raised and lowered through side channels of aluminum, which eliminates the option of the light somehow getting in through the edges.
Another great option for your loft window are the Velux blinds that are known as DUO. They combine the abilities of two different types Velux blinds – the pleated blinds and the blackout blinds, and provide with only the best characteristics in a single unit. The blinds can be adjusted quite easily due to the fact that they have a remote control and you can choose to fully open them or fully close them so that you can enjoy the combination of their effects. The pleated blinds won’t completely obscure the light but they will filter it to the point when it becomes easily acceptable by an unarmed eye and will provide with comfortable and soft appearance of the light which you will desire in case you are furnishing your loft for a bedroom.
The pleated Velux blinds, also called FHL type, of course can be purchased separately, too. You can purchase them when complete darkness in your room isn’t something that you prioritize as they will provide you with the comfort and peace that you seek. In case the roof window faces north, you should consider this type of Velux blinds as your best option.
For recreational purposes or an office, the best choice for you probably is the RFT type or the Velux roller blinds. This blind type may be fully opened, closed or set at any position that you desire (which, of course, is within the aluminum guides of the blinds). When you redesign your loft to become an office, the Velux roller blinds will provide you with air smelling of efficiency and due to them being 100% made of polyester, you will be able to clean them with ease. The Velux roller blind effect is aimed at keeping your room well lit and reducing the glare that direct sunlight creates.
