Roof-Window Honeycomb Blind
Honeycomb blind on the roof window: cell fabric tensioned on the horizontal plane, roof lighting filtering daylight and heat control are provided together.
Roof Window Analysis
The roof window is the hardest plane: on the horizontal glass gravity pulls the fabric down, the free system is fully functionless. Honeycomb works from two ends with the tensioned order — the fabric stays straight horizontally too, filtering daylight from the ceiling. On the roof glass taking the densest heat in summer, the cell buffer directly cuts the heat.
Horizontal Order
The fabric tensioned from two ends works straight on the ceiling plane too; no sagging.
Daylight
The natural light entering from the roof is filtered diffuse; the room brightness is preserved, the glare is cut.
Heat Cut
The roof glass is the hottest plane in summer; the cell air brakes the heat before entering the room.
Remote Control
When there is no ceiling access the motorised variant is the only solution; the hand extension rod is its alternative.
The Horizontal Glass’s Buffer
This page is for the space decision: is honeycomb the right choice on the roof window? The mechanism, rail and configuration options of the two-end-tensioned mechanism are detailed on the roof honeycomb system page.
The roof window is natural lighting’s most efficient source but at the same time the densest heat entry. Honeycomb works horizontally with the two-end-tensioned order; the cell air brakes the heat at the glass line before entering the room.
The access issue is real: if the roof glass cannot be reached by hand the motorised order is a must. The manual variant with an extension rod works at reachable height.
In the sleep and study volume wanting blackout the opaque variant cuts the daytime light; the diffuse variant preserves the lighting.
Application Notes
Mounting & Selection for Roof Window
Two-Ended Order
Horizontally the fabric is carried with tensioning from two directions; the single-sided system does not work horizontally.
Motorised
On the high roof glass a motor is a must; at a low position an extension rod is sufficient.
Blackout
The opaque variant in the volume wanting blackout; the diffuse variant for lighting.
Case Measurement
The roof-window brand decides the profile choice; the measurement is taken from the case.
