VELUX RFL Translucent Roller Blind — Description
The manually operated VELUX RFL translucent roller blind with side guides is a very popular solution for rooms located in the attic. It effectively dims and softens incoming light thanks to its high-quality fabric, creating a pleasant atmosphere in the room.
The fabric helps reduce glare while still allowing natural daylight into the interior. It also offers protection against fading, so the colour of the blind remains attractive over time. The VELUX RFL roller blind works like a modern fabric curtain tailored specifically for your roof window.
VELUX RFL translucent roller blinds Standard colors are available in few colors. You can choose side guides in white or natural aluminum, depending on your window frame finish.
For additional heat protection, you can combine the VELUX RFL roller blind with a VELUX external awning blind.
VELUX RFL roller 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 FHC 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 FHC Blackout Energy Blind.

FAQ: VELUX RFL Roller Blind (Expert Answers)
Does the VELUX RFL roller blind provide total blackout?
No. VELUX RFL roller blinds are dimming blinds, not blackout models. They soften and reduce the amount of light but do not provide a 100% blackout effect. If you need complete darkness, choose a genuine VELUX blackout roller blind instead.
For which rooms is the RFL roller blind recommended?
The RFL roller blind is ideal for living rooms, home offices, dining rooms and other spaces where you want to reduce glare and create a cosy atmosphere without fully darkening the room. For bedrooms or children’s rooms, a blackout roller blind is usually a better option.
What is the difference between RFL and RHL roller blinds?
The VELUX RFL roller blind runs in side guides and can be stopped at any height, giving you more precise light control and better side coverage. The RHL model is operated on hooks and can be fixed in three set positions without side guides. Both are dimming blinds, not blackout.
Can I combine the RFL roller blind with external products?
Yes. For improved summer comfort, we recommend combining the VELUX RFL roller blind with an external VELUX awning blind (MHL). The awning blocks heat before it reaches the glass, while the RFL softly dims the light inside.
