Flat‑roof glass systems and large skylights bring extraordinary light into a home, but they also invite intense solar gain. Without external shading, these spaces can quickly overheat, becoming uncomfortable during peak summer months.
Artemis is engineered to stop the heat before it enters the glass, delivering up to 95% heat rejection while preserving natural daylight and architectural clarity. Designed for flat‑roof glazing, skylights, and lean‑to structures, Artemis provides powerful solar protection with a refined, minimalist aesthetic.
A slim, fully enclosed cassette creates a clean architectural finish while hiding the fabric and mechanism completely from view.
Protects the blind from rain, debris and UV exposure when retracted, ensuring long-term performance and visual integrity.
Dyneema® tear‑resistant cables run discreetly within the side guides.
A precision double‑coiled spring maintains constant tension, keeping the fabric taut and stable.
Engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 24mph without excessive movement or distortion
All hardware is manufactured from corrosion‑resistant, extruded aluminium for exceptional longevity.
Finished in Pure White or Anthracite Grey as standard, with optional RAL Classic colours for full design integration.
The fabric and lead-rail glide within streamlined U‑shaped side guides that conceal the tensioning cables, eliminate light leakage and ensure the blind runs perfectly square.
Premium acrylic fabrics designed not to stretch, warp or tear.
Treated with TEXgard® easy‑clean coating for long‑lasting protection against dirt and moisture.
Available in an extensive palette of exclusive colours and textures.
Up to 95% heat rejection for superior solar control
Powered by a built‑in Somfy tubular motor using the latest bi‑directional io technology.
Control via handheld remote or app for seamless everyday use.
Optional upgrade to Somfy hardwired systems.
Optional sun and wind sensors automate the blind’s behaviour.
Extends when sunlight reaches a set lux level.
Retracts automatically during low light or high winds to protect the system.
Manufactured up to 5m wide × 6m deep (maximum 18m² surface area). For example 3m x 6m.
Compatible with a wide range of standard and bespoke mounting brackets.
Designed for installation onto all roof glazing, skylights and structural frameworks.
Fully compatible with Somfy TaHoma Switch for whole‑home automation.
Integrates effortlessly into modern smart‑living environments.
Engineered for large Skylights
Artemis is engineered for the unique demands of large flat roof skylights on modern extensions. These overhead glass areas generate far more heat and glare than vertical glazing, and standard blinds cannot cope with the size, tension or uplift forces involved. Artemis keeps the fabric perfectly stable across big spans and blocks up to 95 percent of heat before it reaches the glass, delivering the cooling performance and clean architectural look that contemporary extensions rely on.
Artemis is engineered specifically for flat‑roof glazing & large skylights. It provides powerful external solar shading to prevent overheating while maintaining natural daylight and architectural clarity.
Artemis delivers up to 95% heat rejection, stopping solar gain before it enters the glass. This dramatically reduces overheating in roof‑lit spaces during warm months.
Not at all. Artemis is designed with a minimalist, low‑profile aesthetic. The slim full‑cassette headbox hides all fabric and mechanisms, ensuring a clean architectural finish with minimal visual impact.
The full cassette headbox completely encloses the fabric and mechanism when retracted, protecting it from rain, debris, and UV exposure to ensure long‑term performance.
Artemis can be made up to 5m wide × 6m deep, with a maximum surface area of 18m² (e.g., 3m × 6m).
Absolutely. Artemis integrates seamlessly with Somfy TaHoma Switch, allowing full smart‑home automation and voice‑control compatibility within modern connected environments.
The hardware comes in Pure White or Anthracite Grey as standard. You can also choose from the full RAL Classic range for complete design integration. Fabrics are available in a wide palette of premium colours and textures.
Yes. Artemis uses premium acrylic fabrics that are water‑repellent, fade‑resistant, and treated with TEXgard® for long‑lasting protection against dirt and moisture. They’re engineered not to stretch, warp, or tear.
Artemis is powered by a built‑in Somfy tubular motor with bi‑directional io technology. You can operate it via handheld remote or smartphone app. A hardwired Somfy option is also available.
Yes. Optional sun and wind sensors allow Artemis to extend or retract automatically based on light levels and wind conditions, protecting both comfort and system longevity.
Our standard lead time for the Artemis external skylight blind is 8–10 weeks, covering manufacturing, finishing, and preparation for installation. This ensures every system is produced to precise, bespoke specifications with the highest level of quality.
