“What a great product, very clear assembly instructions, love all the videos. Mine was 3x2 metres and I was able to assemble and fit it single handed.”

Thank you for this great review, Joshua! We’re really glad to hear the product is great, the instructions are clear, and the videos helped—amazing that you could assemble and fit it single handed. Kind regards, Team Skylightblinds Direct

“The black out blind bought isn't totally blackout as no brush seals were installed inside the track, allowing light to bleed through. Only found this out when following the Skytrack instructions supplied. Also poor electrical connections on the factory installed driver. Copper conductors visible outside of the connections and found a lot of copper strands missing. Disconnected, cut cable back slightly, stripped insulation and remade connections. Parcel shipped via DHL was delivered to a totally different house. Realised when alerted by the email saying delivery was made and the photo wasn't of my safe place, which was worrying for a such a costly item. A bit disappointed on the whole for the money charged”

Helpful Report

Hi Dag, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the light bleed due to missing brush seals, the electrical connection issue, and the DHL delivery mix-up. That isn’t the standard we aim for. Please contact our support team so we can arrange a remedy (seals or replacement parts, driver inspection, and redelivery/return assistance where needed) and investigate the delivery error with DHL. Kind regards, Team Skylightblinds Direct

“The blind is great - thanks. The only negative is the cost, as the price seems high for what is basically a four sided aluminium frame with a corded pleated blind. Our 2.33 metre x 1.30 metre blind is only secured with 4 screws - very little weight.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for sharing, John. We’re glad the blind is great and appreciate your feedback on the price. If you’d like, we can help review alternative options or configurations that may better suit your budget. Kind regards, Team Skylightblinds Direct

“I had researched for a suitable blind for our intended extension lantern and found Skylight Blinds. They offered a superbly sounding product, with no visible support wires, which was just what I required. It has lived up to their promise and my expectations. I have recommended them to many friends and trades people who have shown an interest. Great product. Well done SkylightBlinds!”

“Hello, well it is a great product and it really does the trick keeping the heating in the room. However what you get for the money says it is hugely overpriced. Sorry but it's true.”

We continually review pricing and value, and if you’d like, we can explore alternatives or promotions that might suit you better. Kind regards, Team Skylightblinds Direct

“I purchased two blinds for velux windows. They are a perfect fit and were very easy to install. I am very pleased with them.”

Helpful Report

“Great service, fantastic product, speedy delivery Would highly recommend”

Helpful Report

“A great product and we love it. On the assembly, we ordered a 4.5m x 1.3m roof lantern blind which must be built on the floor so a flat open space is required. It then needed 3 people to lift it into position but all this effort was worth it for a perfectly working blind. Some reasonable DIY skills are required.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this great review, Ian! That's a really large blind and we appreciate you sharing those practical tips about needing floor space and extra hands for the installation - that'll be really helpful for other customers tackling bigger roof lanterns. Delighted to hear it's working perfectly and was worth the effort!

“Staff very helpful throughout. Blinds are really good quality and fit perfectly.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this lovely review, Pauline! We're really pleased our team could help you throughout the process and that the blinds are fitting perfectly. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

“We purchased a manual honeycomb openview blind for our roof lantern. Ordering was simple, with good communication. The blind was easy to assemble, install and looks great. The only thing I'm not so keen on is the pole, although functional, it's not particularly modern. Would definitely use Skylight Blinds again. Thank you!”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this great review, Kim! We're really pleased the ordering, assembly and installation all went smoothly and that the blind looks great in your roof lantern. We appreciate your feedback about the pole - it's something we'll take on board - and we'd be delighted to help you again in the future!

“We're delighted with the replacement blinds from Skylight for our Velux windows. Ordering was easy to navigate, using the code on our Velux windows, to be sure they'd fit. Very pleased with the delivery and my 22 year old son was able to do the fitting with the help of the video link on the website. Best of all, they look great too.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this lovely review! We're really pleased the ordering was straightforward using your Velux code and that your son found the fitting easy with our video guide - it's brilliant when the whole process goes smoothly from start to finish. Delighted they're looking great too!

“Having never put in skylight blinds I wasn’t sure what to expect but it is SOOO easy. 4 screws and you’re done. Just check the code on your skylight windows, find the match on the website and order. It’s very easy and I love my blinds.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this brilliant review, Steve! We love hearing that "SOOO easy" reaction - people are often surprised how straightforward it is when they've never fitted skylight blinds before, but you're absolutely right, match the code and you're sorted. Really pleased you're loving your blinds!

“Delivery - great, arranged a day I knew I could receive it. Price - OK, took advantage of small discount. Other companies charge a lot more for measuring and fitting, but here's the rub: Customer service closed over Christmas period (fine) but then not open until 12th January. Every time I spoke to the phone 'bot' I got an email back asking for more information, very frustrating when I just needed to speak to a real person. For a big 4m x 2m blind the fitting instruction video was not adequate. Nothing comes with paper instructions for a) fitting and installing the blind b) setting the remote. Issues: * easy to contact and speak to someone to buy the blind, no verbal contact since * for a big blind: inadequate fitting and NO installation instructions * no mention of how many people needed to fit such a big blind (as it needs to be fitted as one unit, and is heavy) * I was told that someone with average DIY would be fine with fitting and installing this, when in fact AI said there are clearly things that Joe Average would not be aware of, and is often best fitted by professional installers. The video on the webpage showing a small blind being connected (not installed) - even that doesn't show the two white side blocks being connected - needed to function the blind. Would definitely recommend watching the troubleshooting videos before attempting to install. Oh - and for a split piece side-rail - expect it to be pre-programmed to only go half way! Obviously!”
