Topfix External Roof Blinds

Topfix external blinds are roof-blind systems, designed for horizontal or sloping glazing – think rooflights, large skylights, roof lanterns and orangeries (including options for Velux).

Unlike internal blinds, Topfix sits outside the glass and stops solar heat before it enters the room, helping to prevent overheating while still letting in daylight and preserving views. That matters for homeowners and architects designing homes with bigger glazing areas: you get the light you want, without turning the space into a greenhouse in summer.

Dimensions: Topfix blinds can cover very large openings (up to 30m² with a single blind) and are built for exposed locations, with robust powder-coated aluminium components and high-performance screen fabrics. It’s designed to be wind and weather resistant, with 7 year warranties, low maintenance and is ‘fit-and-forget’—ideal for hard-to-reach roof glazing.

Options & operation: choose from a wide range of frame colours and fabrics, with powder coating available in almost any RAL to match your façade. Operation is typically via remote control, wall switch or app, with compatibility for smart-home platforms; wiring can be via fused spur/outdoor plug, and solar power is available where mains isn’t practical (size limits apply).

Installation: Topfix is surface mounted and needs suitable fixing grounds (e.g., masonry/steel/wood). Kensington Blinds will advise and survey to confirm structure, substrates and detailing for each project.
