VELUX Skylight Sunscreening Accessories
 
A variety of Velux blinds and shades are available, depending on the skylight model and size you select.  When deciding what skylight sunscreening option is best for you, remember to also consider how you will operate the sunscreen.  For electrical blinds to be used in models other than an electrical skylight (model VSE and QVE) you will also need an electric supply unit.  When using manually controlled blinds you may need to consider a control rod for operating skylights out-of-reach.  All manual and electric controls can be purchased separately.
