Ensure wind-down time
As well as enjoying an abundance of uplifting daylight in your spaces, it’s important to take note of your circadian rhythms and ensure you have a method of lowering light levels in the evening. Consider light-blocking window treatments, such as blinds and shutter, that will ensure outside lights don’t disrupt your relaxation time in the evening, or even prevent sleep.
A super-simple solution for roof windows is Velux’s unique Pick&Click!™ featuring an easy mounting system so you can fit, or replace, your blind in minutes. No cutting or trimming required. Or you can opt for electric smart home control blinds that can be operated by a mobile device, giving you the ultimate control over incoming light and heat, for optimal indoor comfort.
Top tip: For really hot spots, you may want to consider the anti-heat blackout shutters that are made from lacquered aluminium and are fitted to the outside of the window. Not only do they prevent the room from getting too hot in the summer and keep it warm in the winter, they also block out all the light and reduce noise considerably.
