Look no further great product
Really pleased with the whole experience.
Customer service was really good and responsive. Guides on how to measure with the correct tolerances were really helpful. Online assembly and installation videos were really helpful.
The motor is powerful and quiet, it’s a really nice quality product for the money.
I would thoroughly recommend the company and product

Naomi was amazing. She took us through the whole process, answered all of our (many) questions with patience and kindness and couldn't have been more helpful. The blind is perfect and we couldn't be happier with it. I highly recommend both the company and the product.

Great place for quality roof light blinds
Really pleased that I spotted this company on the internet. They’ve been first class from start to finish and the 2m x 3m roof lantern blind works a treat. Even the fitting was straightforward for two of us in around an hour or so. I used some nails which I fitted around two sides of the opening to rest the blind on whilst fitting and it worked a treat. Well done Skylight Blinds Direct and particularly Naomi who works hard and is lightening quick to answer any questions

So pleased you discovered us online and that everything has gone brilliantly. A 2m x 3m blind is no small job, so getting it fitted in about an hour between two of you is impressive.
That's a brilliant tip about the nails for support during installation - really practical thinking! I might have to add that to our guidance notes.
Thanks for being such great customers and for sharing both your experience and that helpful fitting tip!
Honeycomb roof lantern/ alexa success
hi, my honeycomb roof-lantern blind controlled by Alexa was easy to assemble from the documentation and videos. The staff assisted me in the ordering process as the site for the blind was non-standard and did not have a recess. A great success and the blackout function was perfect

Hi Roger! This is absolutely brilliant to read - thanks! I love that you've got the full smart home setup working with Alexa. Being able to just say "Alexa, close the blinds" must feel pretty cool.
It's great that our team could help navigate that non-standard fitting situation. Those projects without a proper recess can be tricky, but it sounds like we found the perfect solution for you.
And perfect blackout function too - that's exactly what we want to hear! Really appreciate you sharing your experience and letting us know it was such a success.

Big blind
This blind was 5mtrs long so it was a challenge to start with I put the side guides on first then took them off and assembled the blind .it took three of us to hold it up not because it was heavy more to do with the length. It is a great blind and I have no problem recommending the company and itself product

Blind has never worked properly and now completely broken
Blind has never worked properly. Ordered a large lantern roof blind with electrical operation. Worked twice then stopped working. Paid for blind fitter to check it. Motor burnt out. Replacement sent. Paid engineer to fit and check it. Fitted wouldn’t work. Engineer said motor not powerful enough. He disconnected the motor so I could operate manually.. emailed blinds direct waste of time. Came home a couple of weeks ago blind has collapsed out of track and hanging loose. Engineer came to check it and he said blind is too wide for the pleating so it has sagged and fallen out of the track. Emailed blinds direct to reject the blind and refund…still waiting for a response.

Hi Paul
We’re really sorry to hear about the problems you had with your blind – it’s certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we completely understand how disappointing it must have been.

Your feedback has been shared with our technical and product teams to help prevent similar issues in the future – especially for larger, more complex installations like yours.
Thanks again for your patience while we worked through everything. If you ever need support in future, our team is always here to help.
Kind regards,

Excellent communication and quality blinds
I ordered 3 velux window blinds for my property. I was really impressed with the quality and they were so easy to install.
The blinds arrived within 4 days of placing my order. I did notice that 1 blind had been damaged prior to being packaged up. I contacted the company to report this. Naomi responded the same day and arranged for a replacement to be sent out hassle free.
I would definitely recommend this company.

Effective but flies get trapped inside
We purchased a large white anti glare thermal honeycomb remotely controlled blind for our garden room roof window. The fitting was relatively easy. Bit fiddly when you have such a large blind to handle, the instructions are simple. Once up we liked how it looked and love how efficient the honeycomb design is for keeping the heat out during the summer months. We haven’t tested for keeping the heat in during the winter months yet.
What we have found is due to the design of the honeycomb the flies have no problem crawling in under it and then annoyingly crawling inside the actual blind. They then get stuck and we have been recommended that the only way to remove them is we to take the blind completely down and try to ‘tweezer them out’! This will be extremely difficult due to the size and flimsiness of the material. As we chose white we can now see lots of flies lying inside which I really dislike. I would suggest choosing a darker colour to avoid this. This is a huge disappointment for us

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback.
We’re really pleased to hear that you were happy with the look, ease of fitting, and performance of the blind in keeping the heat out – especially with such a large installation! 😊 The honeycomb design is definitely great for temperature control, and we hope it proves just as effective come winter.
We’re really sorry to hear about the issue with flies getting trapped inside the fabric. Unfortunately, with light colours and pleated materials like honeycomb, insects can occasionally find their way in – and we completely understand how frustrating that must be. We appreciate you sharing your experience, as it helps us guide future customers and also feed this back to our product team.
If there’s anything else we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch – we’re always happy to support however we can.

Lantern Roof Motorised Blind
I have been searching for a blind for my skylight for sometime. It is a large opening and I couldn’t find what I needed until I found skylight blinds direct.
The product was custom made came within the timescales quoted. It was well packaged and came undamaged.
The video fitting instructions were really helpful during the fitting process, as was the troubleshooting help!
The blind fits in the space perfectly and is well engineered, the honeycomb blind material is excellent at keeping the heat we have been experiencing out and we are completely chuffed with it.
In summary this is a well made blind that is as described and I feel the process is extremely competitive.

We’re so glad you found us after your search – it’s great to hear that the custom-made lantern roof blind ticked all the boxes for your large skylight.
It’s brilliant that the video fitting guide and troubleshooting support helped during installation, and even better to know you’re chuffed with the final result! The honeycomb fabric really does make a difference in hot weather, and we’re delighted it’s doing the job for you.
Thanks again for choosing us – and for the lovely feedback!
Super effective and easy to fit.
I bought and fitted a manual honeycomb blind for our roof lantern. It has proved to be super effective in reducing the solar radiation and hence the temperature in the room. It was very easy to install, it fitted perfectly and I didn't even have to tension the blind as this had already been done in the factory. I had a few queries prior to purchase and the agents I spoke to were both helpful and knowledgeable. The blind was promptly delivered in about 3 weeks. I would definitely buy from Skylight Blinds-direct again should I have the need, and would thoroughly recommend them to others.

From start to finish the customer service was excellent. The blind arrived well packaged and perfect. Videos were very helpful and when I needed support during installation the team were there at the weekend to offer advice and support. The product is quality and it is a joy to watch it in operation. I would recommend Skylight Blinds without reservation.
