Roof-Window Duette Blind

Duette blind on the roof window: double layer on the horizontal plane, the softest roof-light filtering, the strongest heat cut.

Roof Window Analysis

The roof window is a two-ended ground: the year’s densest heat and the most precious natural light arrive from the same glass. The duette works horizontally with the two-end-tensioned order — the fabric does not sag, the daylight is filtered the softest through two layers. Two air pockets stop the roof glass’s heat load with the thickest brake.

Horizontal Order

The fabric tensioned from two ends works straight on the ceiling plane too.

The Softest Light

The natural light entering from the roof passes through two layers; the brightness is preserved, the glare is cut.

The Strongest Cut

The roof glass’s summer heat sees the thickest brake in two pockets.

Motorised

On the high roof glass a motor is a must; at a low position a rod suffices.

The Horizontal Glass’s Double-Pocket Answer

This page is for the space decision: is the duette the right choice on the roof window? The mechanism, rail and configuration options of the two-end-tensioned mechanism are detailed on the roof duette system page.

The roof window is the most efficient natural lighting but at the same time the densest heat entry. The duette’s two-end-tensioned order works horizontally; two air pockets stop the heat at the glass line with the thickest brake.

The access reality decides the motor: on the glass unreachable by hand the motorised order is a must; the manual variant with an extension rod works at a low position.

In the volume wanting blackout the double-layer opaque turns day into night; the diffuse variant preserves the lighting.

Application Notes

Mounting & Selection for Roof Window

Two-Ended

Horizontally the fabric is carried with tensioning from two directions; the single-sided system does not work.

Motorised

A motor on the high glass; a rod suffices at a low one.

Blackout

The double-layer opaque in the volume wanting blackout.

Case

The roof-window brand decides the profile; the measurement is taken from the case.
