Skylights and other types of ceiling windows are becoming more popular as architects and homeowners modernise properties. Overhead windows increase the amount of daylight entering a room, which benefits occupant wellbeing. In this article, we cover how to install an overhead blind, specifically, our C57T overhead cassette blind with an electric motor.
The following installation uses our SkyShelf, a unique product which provides a platform for the overhead blind. It helps blind installers:

Here is an example of one of our overhead electric cassette blinds installed by one of our customers. You can read about this installation here.
