VELUX FHL Translucent Pleated Blind — Description
The manually operated VELUX FHL translucent pleated blind helps you create a unique atmosphere in your interior thanks to its subtle light dispersion. The elegant fabric effectively softens incoming daylight while adding a decorative touch to your room.
What makes the VELUX FHL unique is its flexible “Flying Pleat” system. The blind is not fixed to the top or bottom of the window, allowing you to position it anywhere on the glass – you can adjust it from the top down as well as from the bottom up. This gives you full control over light and privacy.
The high-quality fabric ensures protection against fading and serves as a stylish, modern curtain for your roof window. For additional heat protection, you can combine the VELUX FHL pleated blind with a VELUX external awning blind.
VELUX FHL pleated blinds do not have blackout properties. If you are interested in total blackout, you can find genuine VELUX blackout roller blinds in our VELUX blackout roller blinds category.
If, besides complete blackout, you need better thermal insulation, choose the VELUX FSC Solar Pleated Blind (honeycomb structure). Its inner aluminum coating reduces heat loss in winter and improves summer comfort more effectively than standard blackout fabrics. Check out the VELUX FSC Solar Blackout Energy Blind.
