Easy to order the right one, once you know the model number of your window. Quick delivery. 4 screws and you’re done. Perfect fit. A tiny bit of faff to centralise the handle, but once that’s done, it’s almost finished.

As requested I have attached photographs and a video of the blind as fitted. The blind covers the whole of the lantern area and was very easy to construct following the easy to understand instructions. The blind is powered by a rechargeable battery which is replenished by a small solar panel. The blind motor and solar panel fit at one end of the blind and are completely hidden by the blind framework. The blind can be controlled by the supplied remote control and works very easily. The batteries remain well charged in the summer months and we have only had to top up the charge from the mains adaptor once at the end of the winter period. The blind was required as the length aspect of the lantern faces East and the sun shines through it for most of the day. At times it was very hot and bright and at times it was impossible to see anything on the television screen. Since fitting the blind the glare and heat from the sun has become completely manageable and during the winter months although the lantern is fully double glazed it definitely helps to keep the heat in the room. In conclusion I would say that the blind is very well made and easy to fit by a couple of people with reasonable DIY skills. I would definitely recommend this blind from your company not only for the quality but also for the very reasonable price. Yours sincerely Graham Ross

After much deliberation in costs and solutions to resolve our issues with a large 3.5m x 2.5m glass lantern, we chose to order a diy Lantern Lite blind from Skylightblinds. We are very pleased with the product they supplied, both in quality and service. We had a couple of technical glitches which were overcome by excellent support and fast delivery replacements . A fair level of engineering competence is needed for an installation of this size and we needed 3 people to lift and final fix. I have confidence in recommending this company and product. We have only had the blind up a couple of weeks so no knowledge of its winter thermal barrier performance but it certainly works as a sun shade.

Great Blinds and very good service from Skylightblinds Direct. I ordered two blinds for the same room and a multichannel remote. The blinds are very good. They take the glare and heat out of the sun while still allowing some light to come in the room.

I had been looking for blinds to fit in a skylight at my home since before Covid. No company wanted to help, I never had replies until Skylightblinds Direct. I emailed them and withing a few hours I had a reply with direct links to what I needed. I ordered these blinds and within a few days they arrived. Now installed extremely simple to anyone with even minimal D.I.Y skills, they looks fantastic and perform beyond expectations 99.99999% blackout. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Guys.

First time I have used Skylightblinds, Naomi was very informative from start to finish, my roof lantern blind arrived on the day we had agreed and very well packaged. The quality of the product was exceptional and fitting of the blind was very easy. Would highly recommend using this company if you’re looking for a lantern blind. Once again, thanks Naomi.

From start to finish I have been extremely pleased with both the service and product quality I have received. I opted to fit this item myself and as a reasonably competent DIY’er I had some reservations about fitting my blind. The pre-sales help Naomi provided was excellent, with prompt and comprehensive responses to questions asked, backed up by easy to follow video clips. Great product - backed up by a helpful service and full support. 10/10!

We were looking for a black out blind to fit an awkward lantern/dome style skylight, wasn't even sure it was possible. We have converted a room into play room and nap room for our new baby but the skylight was not only heating the room up dramatically but was not helping our baby understand that dark times are for sleep and light times for play. All 4 sides of the port are not equal so I was very worried about spending the money based on my measurements but with the handy videos and help directly from Naomi I felt very confident. The blind has arrived and the fitting was so easy, it is not as snug as some other peoples i'm sure but that is because our dimensions aren't square. None the less thank you and a fantastic service.

We came across Skylightblinds Direct as we have some Roto skylights which the majority of companies do not stock blinds for. To add to the difficulties, Roto use a strange coding system which makes identifying your windows quite tricky. Naomi, from Skylightblinds Direct, was great at helping us to identify the blinds we needed and also caring for us with any after sales issues. And the blinds are perfect - look great, work well and easy to install.

I found the fitting of the mains powered zip blind has enhanced my enjoyment and extended the use of my Orangery as there were times when the sun was overhead the heat was unbearable. After fitting the blind it has made the room useable throughout the day and has the added benefit of eliminating the glare on the TV. I’ve also found it keeps the room warmer on colder days when the heat from the central heating would rise into the lantern. I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone experiencing the similar problems.

I ordered two blackout blinds for Velux rooflights. They were delivered quickly; well within the quoted delivery time. They proved to be easy to fit and I am delighted with them. They look as if they were an integral part of the original window. I have already recommended the firm to my daughter.

Dealing with Naomi was a pleasure. Good quality product, Not too complicated for a DIY job. Naomi was quick to reply if I had any questions. After pairing the remote our 3.4m blind extends in under 45s providing a nice shade from the English sun.

The blind was delivered on time and came very well packaged. It is obviously made from very good quality materials and the metal parts are well finished in white. Following the instructions supplied and also watching the online video made the assembly process very straightforward, ditto with the programming of the remote control. It all works very smoothly and looks the part. There is some pinging of the cables when they are retracting into their boxes (pulling the blind closed) but it is not obtrusive and I was told it gets less with time when I checked to ask if it was normal I am very pleased with the blind and wish I had bought one before, it's really cosy at night time and will be great in the winter.

Two skylight blinds just installed in our orangery. We couldn’t use the room at all last summer, and the heat from it was making the rest of the house too hot with the doors open. Now with the motorised blinds fitted we have control of the heat and light coming in, and the room is usable all year round. These blinds are easy to install if you are good at DIY and look lovely. Naomi was extremely helpful and was quick to respond to both email, phone and messages.

After a good look online we settled upon Skylight Blinds Direct who provided us with just what we were looking for at an acceptable price. Delivery was quicker than expected and we were kept informed by Naomi every step of the way. It's a two man job to fit the size of blind we ordered but once fitted is neat tidy and the solar option we went for works great. Now all we need is that voucher for a free holiday for two to Barbados!!!

Having looked for some blinds over internet for OPTILIGHT blinds; it was clear that these are not the most popular blinds and I had to take the risk of measuring the window frame and find the suitable match. With much anxiety I ordered the blinds and the delivery was made in time and a perfect condition. These blinds are amazing! I was so much impressed with the quality and ease of fitting. The blinds are total blackout, literally and help blocking out heat as well, so great in summers. Please see the pictures for the blackout quality. Thanks for the business, a great product.
