“The blind arrived on time and is the right size for the window (apart from a couple of millimetres). The blind is of good quality and is easy to use.”

Thank you so much for your lovely review

“Good price and easy to fit after reading the instructions.”

Helpful Report

Thank you so much, Helen. We are glad to know our low price and easy-to-fit instructions were appreciated.

“Blinds are of good quality and relatively easy to fit. Slight dent on inner face but customer service excellent to deal with it. Only quibble is the amount of emails they send. How many roof lights would anyone have to need repeated blin purchases!”

Helpful Report

Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate your honest feedback and for taking the time to review our product. Thanks again!

“Our windows are old Roto models however the correct blinds were relatively easy to identify and order. They were delivered in good time and fitting was straightforward. My only niggle is that the blind does not come down all the way leaving a small slither of light at the base.”

We are delighted to hear that selecting and ordering the correct blind was easy for your old Roto windows and that the blinds arrived in good time and were easy to fit.

“Hi both blinds fitter perfectly and one locked down ok but one blind would not lock down. After pulling down. Found it difficult to lock in position. After several attempts to would lock down only to shoot up minutes later. We have persevered for days sometimes it will stay down for a few hours but not very often. About one out of ten times. A bit consecrating in the middle of the night. Brian stewart”

“On the whole my purchase from Skylightblinds Direct was good. However, after good early communication over a slight problem with the product it’s been disappointing not to hear back from them for over two months.”

“The blinds are very good quality. I ordered 2 blinds, one fitted perfectly but I had to modify the second one to fit. This could have been a result of my bad measurement.”

Helpful Report

thanks so much Lars glad it got sorted

“Great ordering service Great lady who dealt with order Quick delivery Always informed Couple of fitting issues on my part dealt with over phone. Would prefer paper instructions rather than you tube hence 4 stars not 5. Just a personal.preference”

Thanks for the feedback Wayne i am glad you like your blind.

“Quite a large lantern blind needed for our kitchen. Everything arrived carefully packed and assembly began. The youtube videos were a great help to complete the installation. Small adjustment was necessary to get the blind to close completely but this was easily overcome and now works well.”

Hi Jonathan thank you so much for sharing your stunning Honeycomb Openview roof lantern blind review and video. The blind looks fantastic and I look forward to hearing how it makes your room more useable in the winter and the summer. Thank you so much for sharing. Kind regards Naomi

“It’s a bit stiff to move up and down.”

sorry about that louise please send an email to team@skylight-blinds-direct.co.uk and we will open a customer services ticket to see if we can help

“All parcels were received on time and as expected. I was surprised to note that the only parts apparently made in the UK were some cut and (poorly) painted aluminium angle pieces. The actual blinds appeared to be manufactured in Dubai. I have no real problem with this, the one we have fitted works ok, although the remote control programming is a bit of a challenge and entirely unnecessary in our case. we just want a simple open and close control. They are not only self install, but also self assemble. not a problem really except that I feel for what you get, the pricing is pushing it somewhat. They should also make it clear that they are not the manufacturers, as they seem to suggest, but just a distributor.”

Helpful Report

Hi Michael thanks so much for your feedback. I am so sorry that you thought the quality of the angles was not up to standard I am so sorry about this. This is the first we have heard of this and we could have sent you new angles if we would have known. We do assemble and test the blinds in the factory but it is impossible to send the blinds fully assembled in transit. The blinds are made to measure but flat pack because of transit. We do not manufacture the blinds in house but work with factories all over the UK and abroad exclusively to offer you our specified product for your roof windows at a value for money price cutting out the expense of a blind fitter. With regards to the remote control the blinds are programmed and limits are set in the factory but sometimes things can change during transit and that is why we are here to help you over the phone.

“We received our LanternLITE Honeycomb Open-view Blind ordered from Skylight blinds in good order, really well packaged & transported from Dubai. Assembly was fine, following the videos supplied by Skylight. It was tough to get the joints together, but this is a good thing as you don't want it loose! We had a long blind (over 2.2m) so the side runners have a join, therefore it can be a little snaggy over the join (hence 4 stars). WARNING: you must follow the company instructions and measure the RECESS opening, I didn't (I measured where we wanted to place it in the void) and therefore it was a very tight fit (my mistake). After some recess trimming, the blind has fitted well, looks & operates very well (we also have the Somfy Tahoma Switch which links to Amazon Alexa through the app). Note: It did require 3 persons to finally fit, 2 to hold & 1 to screw fix into position. The assistance from Naomi (Skylight POC UK based) was exceptional, helping us through all our queries & my mis-measurement frustrations. I would definitely recommend Skylight blinds. Note: we had other Somfy controlled devices in the house which we have now all connected to Tahoma Switch & Alexa RESULT!”

Thanks so much for your feedback and fantastic videos glad you like the product

“Sky Fit -Easy to Fit? Installation instructions were unsuitable for my use. Had to figure it out myself. Correct fittings were supplied but not mentioned in the installation video. Pre-drilled side channels would have helped. It was difficult to ensure the holes were central to internal moulding which pulled the channel out of line if not correct. Blind tape take-up drums were not correctly aligned- a long way out in fact - I had to dismantle and correct it myself. Somfy electric motors are great. I already have had 6 in use elsewhere for a number of years. Can't fault the SkyLight Blinds sales team.”

Sorry about this John please email photos and video to team@skylight-blinds-direct.co.uk and we will look into this.

“I have a small, wood frame Roto Frank skylight in my loft and this heatwave finally convinced me to try to find a blind to reduce the greenhouse effect. I was not optimistic, due to the age of the skylight, but discovered SkylightBlinds Direct and was able to source a perfect made-to-measure blind. It took 16 calendar days to arrive, which was slightly outside the estimate, but was well-packaged and of a high quality. Once I’d tried a dry-run, desktop fitting, I went for the real thing. The installation was fairly straightforward and was achieved with only 4 screws (supplied). The only reason I awarded 4 stars, and not 5, was because, although I was told I would be notified when the item dispatched, the only notification I received was from the courier on the day of delivery. Good, value for money blind.”

Thanks so much and so sorry for not better keeping you informed about the delivery. Glad you have finally got a blind for your window and I hope it is keeping you cool this summer. It will also keep you warm in the winter!
