Duo Blinds

The venetian blinds design features make operation simple and convenient, with a control mechanism that allows you to position the blinds at any point on the window. Improved aesthetics give you control over both the amount and direction of light, perfect for any room where light control and aesthetics are important.

If you choose a VELUX venetian blind, you will enjoy style and comfort.

Product Features

  • Ability to control the direction and amount of the incoming light due to having full control over the slats tilt and direction.
  • Color - white (color 7001)
  • Glare control - control direct sunlight to significantly reduce or eliminate glare on your TV or computer screen, which increases the versatility of the room.

Energy efficiency

The venetian blind increases energy efficiency up to 12%, reducing your heating and cooling costs due to the better natural climate control in your room.

Quick and easy installation

Installation of a VELUX blind has never been easier. With the new innovative Pick&Click!™ brackets blind installation is a snap! Most VELUX skylights comes pre-installed with Pick&Click!™ brackets that allows for fast and easy installation of sunscreening blinds and accessories.

Review: This is the blind that we install the least often. Because most skylights in our area are far overhead, they are difficult to access and cleaning is challenging. Because any type of venetian blind tends to be harder to clean than other kinds of blinds, we don't often recommend it.

From a functionality standpoint, the venetian blind does offer the most versatility of light control, while still allowing viewing through the skylight due to the different angles that the slats can be set to.

USER TIP: IN THE WINTER

When a blind is closed during cold weather, the heat of the house does not reach the glass and keep it warm. This can cause condensation to form more readily between the blind and the skylight. So remember to open your blinds everyday, to allow air movement to reach the glass.

Products Manufactured prior to January 1, 2010 Warranty

We believe the best guarantee is the one you never have to use, therefore, we build quality into every product. On skylights we offer the VELUX 20/10/5 years limited warranty.   This warranty applies to products manufactured between January 1, 2001 - February 28, 2010.

  • 20 Years on seal failure (moisture between glass panes)
  • 10 Years for parts for defective skylights, roof windows and flashings
  • 10 Years on Sun Tunnel Skylights® for defective parts, rust corrosion and deterioration
  • 5 Years for defective parts on electrical systems and sunscreening products

Review: The guarantee that Velux offers on their products and the service that they give in addressing any warranty issues, is one of the main reasons we recommend their products so much.  We end up having very few warranty issues on the skylights and their flashing systems, but if we do, Velux works with us and our client to remedy the situation very quickly. 

The 20 year guarantee on the glass for seal failure is incredible.  Over the past 26 years, we have only had 2 units that have suffered seal failure.  Considering we have installed over 15,000 Velux skylights, that is an incredible record.

Review: When we are installing a sun tunnel that will not be on a south facing roofline we like to use the pitched sun tunnel.  The raised framework of this sun tunnel, allows it to have better exposure to the sun when it's on an east/north/west facing roofline (it's always facing straight up to the sky).  Although the look is a little more prominent on the roofline, the extra amount of light it generates, is well worth it.  We also really like that the entire exterior flashing is moulded from one piece of aluminum, so there are no seams in the flashing of this unit.  Our clients are always amazed at the amount of light that comes from these small tubular skylights.  It's the best value in sunshine that we can offer our clients!

Flat Glass Sun Tunnel

Skylight Installation Toronto

The Sun Tunnel Skylight emitts passive light from the sun without the heat emmitted by electrical light sources.

  • Low profile glass design creates sleek appearance
  • on any roofline.
  • Perfect for developments where local ordinances
  • do not allow acrylic dome skylights.
  • Available in 14” rigid model only. 

Review:  This is the lowest profile design for a sun tunnel.  Due to its  "flush to the roofline" design, it is best used in south facing roof exposures, or where our clients want to have a less prevalent look on the roofline.  Because of the flush design, this unit does not bring in light as efficiently as the other styles of sun tunnels (the domed versions bend the light in).
