Roof Window Curtain

Curtain on a roof window: the ceiling blind is the only solution on the horizontal plane; roof light filtered by the tensioned mechanism.

Roof Window Curtain Analysis

On a roof window the curtain is a single type: on the horizontal plane free fabric sags completely — only the two-ended tensioned ceiling blind works flat. The intense light coming from the roof is filtered or cut with the blackout variant; at the high position a motor is a must.

Single Type

On the horizontal only the tensioned ceiling blind works.

Two-Ended

The fabric is carried by tension from two directions.

Access

At the high position a motor or a rod is needed.

The only solution on the horizontal

The roof window is a horizontal plane; free fabric sags on this plane. The two-ended tensioned ceiling blind keeps the fabric flat — it is the only working type.

Roof light is the most intense entry; the diffusing variant preserves the lighting, blackout cuts it. At the high position a motor is a must.
