“Purchased two blinds for Velux windows several months ago. Although the top of the windows is 3m high, the blinds were easily fitted using a screwdriver and some tall stepladders. Using a pole the blinds are easy to operate. Excellent product and speedy delivery.”

HI Robert I am glad you found the blinds easy to fit and easy to operate with the pole. Thank you so much for sharing.

“Polite and a Lovely service, the blinds fit great!”

“Having had single storey build with a large lantern fitted I was very happy to find skylight blinds offer a diy supply only fit. This was one of my best purchases from start to finish . From having a boiling hot room in summer to now a cool room with no glare once the blind is closed ,great now for watching television . On a cold day the blind keeps the heat in , which has made a significant difference from being open 👍 Being a diy fit I was a bit nervous about installing the blind , but I needed not worry with the help of the sales team and most of all the YouTube videos was a extremely helpful. I bought a pocket laser measure for the measuring of the opening which was so much more precise and than a tape measure due to the sagging over the length of the opening , I had a difference of 5mm so it a perfect fit worth the small investment to get this right . Guests love our extension and are really impressed with the blind . I was horrified how much companies are charging to have these sort of blinds fitted so diy fit was perfect for me and I saved a lot of money too. I went for the solar powered option which works great Overall skylight blinds have been excellent I could recommend them enough .”

“On this occasion we were sent out a faulty blind”

Helpful Report

“A wireless, remotely controlled, insulating DIY blind for a skylight lantern ceiling, seems like a very good idea. This product is well-engineered with good customer service but it arrived with the blind incorrectly fitted into the cassette and a hexagonal drive shaft 2cm too short. This required two separate installation sessions using a tower platform to get it all working correctly. In the summer it shields bright sunlight well for TV viewing, and in winter stops a cold downdraft. On the downside, condensation above can lead to moisture dripping down and staining the blind and mould growing on the lantern itself. Flying insects need to be excluded from the room as when trapped above, their dead bodies are difficult to remove. In summary an ambitious DIY project with some unexpected complications.”

Helpful Report

Hi Ian I am so sorry about the complications and am relieved that you managed to get the blind fitted in the end.

“Easy to install but we have had problems with them jumping out of their tracks because the spring on the roller is so strong.”

Sorry to hear that is that that resolved now?

Thanks so much for sharing this image of your Skyfit manual blind! We are glad you like it! https://blog.skylight-blinds-direct.co.uk/products/skyfit-manual/

“Naomi was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process - I wasn't sure what would fit and what would not, so Naomi's help and understanding of my situation was fantastic. The blind was for a shape & size of window that I hadn't come across anywhere (it's a loft conversion from 1966!) so none of the standard sizes would fit. The blind was easy to put up, fits perfectly, works well (I went for the Blackout option and is really does shut out all the light when closed, just what I wanted) and it looks great. I would recommend this company 100%.”

“I bought 2 small manual SkyFit and 1 large electric LanternLITE blinds for our extension. I didn't find anyone else offering DIY fitting or serving our area, but the price seemed good. The SkyFit is a small, inexpensive but well made, blind suitable for lanterns, skylights and windows. It is as easy to fit as anything that size on the ceiling can be. I would have liked more substantial fixings, but it seems secure. The operating pole is a bit tricky to use and needs a strong pull, but works well with a bit of practice. They didn't fit at first because I wrote down the wrong dimensions, but they were helpful and fixed them for a very reasonable price. The LanternLITE is a well made blind which keeps the light out and the heat in well. It is more difficult to fit; a competent DIYer will have no problem, but I think a beginner will struggle. It needs 2 people (strong people for a large blind) and 2 stepladders to fit. It comes with a good set of instructions, but I have a few tips: 1. You have to unroll a bit of the fabric to fit it into the side rails; you should then roll it back when fitting the roller into the headbox, otherwise you will need to reset the motor limits. 2. The motor has a thermal cut-out, so it stops for 10 minutes after a few operations. This isn't a problem, but was a nuisance when testing it. 3. The blind stuck at first when closing. This is easy to fix and there is a video about this in the troubleshooting guide, but the mountings have been re-designed since the video was made. Now, you don't have to take the plastic strip out, just slip some packing pieces behind the side rail. Overall, I am very happy with the blinds, the price and the service.”

“I am not one to give reviews but this has been an excellent sales service and we are very pleased with our purchase. The expert we spoke to knew exactly the product code that matched the window specification we provided which was very reassuring. The blinds fitted on point and were easy to install with no issues. Quality is good and enhanced the look of the room. Did keep the draft out; one of the criteria for buying but overall a great buy.”
