VELUX solar roller shutters: comfort without cabling

Benefits of VELUX solar shutters and blinds for blackout and thermal protection without heavy electrical works.

Why a solar shutter?

Solar solutions recharge via an integrated panel — ideal for lofts where running cables is complex.

Shutter, blind or awning?

An external roller shutter blocks heat and boosts insulation. An interior blind manages light. An external awning limits summer overheating.

Fitting on an existing window

Most VELUX accessories fit existing windows, even older ones. An assessment confirms compatibility.
