Roof lantern blinds are an integral requirement for a roof lantern. A striking architectural features you can add to a home, orangery, or extension — flooding the space with natural light and creating a stunning focal point. However, without the right shading, excessive glare, overheating, heat loss, and lack of privacy can quickly reduce comfort.
At Oakhurst, we design and install made-to-measure blinds, all manufactured in the UK, offering premium solutions including thermal blinds, electric blinds, and self fit/diy blinds — all engineered for performance, aesthetics, and long-term reliability.
Installing high-quality lantern blinds allows you to:
