Athena, Twin Athena, and Hercules roof blind systems can be fully concealed using Blindspace® boxes. This delivers a seamless, minimalist finish where the technology disappears and only comfort remains.
Designed for architects, builders, and homeowners who refuse visual clutter, Blindspace® creates the perfect environment for hidden roof blind integration.
Blindspace® boxes allow Athena and Hercules systems to retract completely out of sight, preserving the clean geometry of your roof lantern or skylight.
No visible headboxes
No exposed hardware
No compromise on performance
Just uninterrupted daylight when open, and perfect comfort when closed.
Blindspace® solutions are engineered to work with every system in the range:
Athena (Single Systems)
< 3 m: C135 × 235 Custom Box Series
> 3 m: C155 × 250 Custom Box Series
Twin Athena (Meeting in the Middle)
< 6 m: C135 × 235 Custom Box Series
< 9 m: C155 × 250 Custom Box Series
Hercules XL (Large‑Span Systems)
< 5 m: C155 × 250 Custom Box Series
> 4.5 m: C190 × 340 Custom Box Series
All systems use 80 mm wide Blindspace® profiles , which allow the roof blinds side channels to be fully concealed within for a completely flush aesthetic.
Blindspace® boxes can be incorporated at the construction stage to create a dedicated cavity for:
The headboxes
Side channels
This ensures the entire system can disappear into the architecture, leaving only a refined shadow gap or plaster‑ready edge.
Precision Access. Invisible Engineering. Built for Life.
Blindspace® isn’t just about hiding the blind system. It’s about doing so in a way that remains practical, serviceable, and structurally sound for decades. The combination of Blindspace’s removable cover and its patented hinged technology creates a concealed roof‑blind solution that is both beautifully minimal and intelligently engineered.
Blindspace® boxes are designed with discreet access points, allowing servicing of motors, fabrics, and tension systems without disturbing surrounding finishes.
Invisible day‑to‑day. Accessible when required.
Blindspace® concealment enhances:
Contemporary extensions
Open‑plan living spaces
High‑end renovations
Architect‑led projects
New‑build homes
The result is a roof lantern that looks untouched until you need shade, privacy, or thermal comfort.
When paired with Athena, Twin Athena, or Hercules, Blindspace® delivers:
A consistent architectural aesthetic
Hidden technology
Clean plaster lines
A premium, built‑in look
It’s the difference between a blind that’s installed and a blind that’s integrated.
Blindspace® Heritage
Blindspace® pioneered architectural blind concealment with a simple idea: technology should enhance a space, not interrupt it. Since then, their hidden boxes have become the benchmark for seamless integration in high‑end homes around the world. Today, Blindspace® is trusted by architects, designers, builders and most of all the homeowners, who demand purity of line and absolute minimalism.
Our concealed Athena, Twin Athena, and Hercules roof‑blind systems represent the very best of that philosophy. They combine precision engineering with invisible installation to deliver total comfort without compromising the architecture.
Blindspace® boxes are custom cavities built into the ceiling or upstand during first fix. They allow roof blind systems to be fully concealed, so no hardware is visible when the blind is retracted. This delivers a clean, minimalist finish that preserves the architectural integrity of your roof lantern or skylight.
For single Athena systems, the Blindspace box size depends on the blind’s span:
Up to 3 m: C135 × 235
Over 3 m: C150 × 250
These sizes accommodate the headbox, motor, and tensioning assembly while allowing the blind to retract seamlessly into the ceiling.
Twin Athena systems use two blinds that meet in the middle and require coordinated concealment:
Up to 6 m total span: C135 × 235
Up to 9 m total span: C150 × 250
Hercules is designed for large-span roof lanterns and requires deeper cavities:
Up to 5 m: C150 × 250
Over 4.5 m: C190 × 340
These larger boxes support the XL headbox, patented hinge assembly, and high-tension fabric tube — all fully hidden within the ceiling.
Yes — but our customers expect more.
They want a flawless fabric finish without visible cords, ripples, or sagging. Most Constant Tension Spring systems on the market deliver around one‑third of the fabric tension achieved by Athena, which is why they often struggle to maintain a crisp, refined appearance.
If you’re investing in Blindspace® minimalism, the blind’s fabric finish must live up to that standard. Athena ensures the concealed architecture is matched by an equally immaculate visual result.
Yes they can. Or alternatively they can be powder coated to a RAL Classic during manufacture.
Many customers choose to install their electric roof blinds directly into the finished roof upstand. And while some architects, builders, and homeowners create their own concealed cavities without using Blindspace boxes, there’s a clear difference in the final result.
For those who want the highest standard of finish and long‑term practicality, Blindspace remains unmatched.
