FAKRO have manufactured a range of blackout blinds in a number of different sizes and colours, and each blind has been designed specifically to fit a FAKRO roof window. FAKRO are one of the UK's leading manufacturers of roof windows and accompanying accessories, creating products that are functional, attractive and reasonably priced.

Controlling darkness with FAKRO blackout blinds

FAKRO blackout blinds are a popular way of creating total darkness within a room, whether that is for a perfect sleep at night, for those who do shift work, for children’s daytime naps and more. As well as complete darkness, the FAKRO blackout blinds have been designed to provide gradual reduction of sunlight too. This means that the blind can be locked in any position up the window to control the amount of sunlight that enters the room.

Temperature control with FAKRO blackout blinds

FAKRO blackout blinds have also been manufactured to control the temperature of the room. In cool seasons, the blackout blind can be used to minimise heat loss through the FAKRO window, by providing an extra layer of insulation.

In warmer months, the FAKRO blackout blinds provide partial protection against heat that comes directly from the sun, and also provides protection against UV radiation. 

These factors mean that the FAKRO blackout blinds help to maintain a comfortable environment within the home, and reduce utility bill costs as less heating and air conditioning is required.

Different types of FAKRO blackout blinds

FAKRO blackout blinds are available in a wide range of colours and patterns, so here at Roofing Superstore we are confident you’ll find the perfect match for your home. Choose from neutral colours such as beige, cream, white and grey, or opt for a brighter orange, red, green or yellow blackout blind to add a pop of colour to your home.

FAKRO blackout blinds are available in both manual and electric operations. The manually operated FAKRO blinds can simply be operated by hand, or with the use of a ZST rod where required to reach high up and hard to reach roof windows.

The FAKRO electric blackout blinds can be controlled by either a switch or a remote control, and are powered by 12V DC.
