Skylight blinds & solar control in Crieff: what is involved?
Our skylight blinds & solar control service in Crieff covers electric blinds, blackout and solar-control upgrades for rooflights. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. In Crieff, as anywhere, skylight blinds & solar control are the usual choice for bedrooms, nurseries and south-facing kitchens.
We work across Perth and Kinross, including Crieff, and in neighbouring towns such as Auchterarder and Dunblane. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Blackout blinds
- Solar-control glass replacement
- Insect screens on opening units
- Electric pleated or roller blinds
- Integral blinds within the glass
- Electric or solar-powered operation
- Cuts summer heat gain
What to check first
- Integral blinds are specified with a new glass unit
- Cord safety rules apply to blinds in homes with children
Planning and building rules for Crieff
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
