Velux Blinds Putney

Bespoke Velux Blinds from Controlux, for homes and businesses in Putney and the surrounding areas.

Bespoke Velux Blinds Putney by Controlux

Putney homes are getting brighter every season. From riverside lofts off the Embankment to roof extensions near Putney Heath, roof windows are turning tucked-away corners into proper living space. More daylight is brilliant, until rooms run hot after lunch, heat leaks at night, screens glare and sleep gets messy. That’s where Velux-compatible blinds from Controlux come in. We provide bespoke Velux blinds in Putney, designed to fit perfectly, perform exceptionally, and complement your home’s architecture. Backed by over 35 years of hands-on experience across Southwest London, Controlux offers expert consultation, precise fitting, and a curated range of Velux blinds that are both beautiful and functional.


Why Velux Blinds Are Essential in Putney Homes

Velux windows pull light deep into the plan. Without the right blind, you’ll likely notice:

  • Summer heat spikes in south/west-facing lofts

  • Night-time heat loss nudging bills up

  • Early sunrise wake-ups in May–August

  • UV fade on timber floors, artwork and fabrics

  • Glare on laptops and TVs just when you need to focus

Our Velux-compatible systems add tight side channels, fabrics that actually work (block, diffuse, insulate), and smooth operation that feels built-in not bolted-on.

 

Data-Led Performance: More Than Just Window Dressings

We don’t just install blinds, we install performance. According to Velux product data:

  • Blackout blinds block up to 99.8% of light, ensuring total darkness for restful sleep
  • Duo blinds (blackout + pleated) provide flexible light control throughout the day
  • Energy blinds improve insulation by up to 26%, making your home more energy-efficient
  • Screen fabrics cut down solar glare by over 75% while preserving daylight
  • Solar-powered blinds remove the need for wiring and are eco-conscious by design

 

For Putney homeowners focused on sustainability, smart control, and interior comfort, these are not just accessories; they’re upgrades with measurable value.

Why Putney Homeowners Are Investing in Roof Window Blinds

Putney has a big mix, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks off Upper Richmond Rd, refurbed cottages near the river, post-war houses around West Putney. We keep seeing three patterns:

  • Dual-use lofts: workstation by day, spare room at weekends

  • Vaulted kitchen-diners: wants glare control on worktops, but still “daylight bright”

  • Kids’ rooms under eaves: blackout for bedtime + softer privacy for play

That’s why we often pair blackout with a screen or honeycomb fabric. One window, two very different light behaviours. Simple and it works.

Our Velux Blind Options in Putney

Controlux offers a large range of Velux Blinds including: 

Velux Blackout Blinds: Total darkness for roof bedrooms, nurseries and media spaces. Precise side channels stop light gaps. Big colour range so you can match walls or go bold.

Velux Duo Blackout + Pleated: Two layers on one rail. Blackout when you need sleep, soft diffusion for daytime privacy. Great for rooms that change role, office by day and guest room by night.

Velux Energy (Honeycomb) Blinds: Pleated, with an aluminium backing inside the cells for better insulation. Warmer in winter, cooler in summer, neater stack when open.

Velux Venetian (Moisture-Resistant) Blinds: Cordless slats for kitchens and bathrooms. Wipe-clean, light control without fabric.

Velux Awning Blinds (Exterior): Stops the sun before it hits the glass, which is the most efficient way to cut heat gain. Ideal on top-floor spaces that just get too hot.

Solar & Electric Velux Blinds: Remote control as standard. Solar versions don’t need wiring, so installs are quicker and cleaner. Add a wall switch or app control if you like.

Colour And Style Tips That Actually Help
  • Neutral, slightly warm greys can keep the roofline calm and don’t fight timber trims.
  • Matching the frame to the blind can make the blind disappear, contrasting the frame and blind makes the window a feature. 
  • In children’s rooms, picking blackouts with a mid-tone fabric makes finger marks show less.
  • Bathrooms and loft shower rooms do best with Venetian or moisture-resistant pleated fabrics.
  • Small things lead to big payoffs: specifying the same handle style across all roof windows make the sightlines look intentional.
