Pleated blind as sun protection on a roof window
Basis: LEHA and MHZ pleated blind systems for roof windows.
LEHAMHZ

Why roof windows are special

The sun hits a roof window almost vertically — the room heats up much more than with an upright window. And an ordinary covering would, on the slope, sag downwards. Both problems are solved by a tensioned system that guides the fabric via tension shoes.

Tensioned pleated blind & honeycomb blind on the roof window

Das tensioned pleated blind (at LEHA called VS2) holds in any height and lies close to the glass. As a Honeycomb blind honeycomb blind, the insulating air chamber is added — it insulates against summer heat and, in winter, against cold. Both systems are available from LEHA and MHZ as brand quality.

Keeping heat out specifically

For roof windows, blackout fabrics are worthwhile: they reduce heat build-up the most and, as a bonus, ensure undisturbed sleep under the roof. Those who prefer more light combine them with a daylight-permeable honeycomb fabric.

Mounting and measurements

On roof windows, it is usually mounted directly on the window sash . Precise measuring of the pane is important. During the home consultation we measure on site and recommend the suitable system.
