Easy to fit, once you understand how it works
I bought this blind to replace a Velux one where the cord had caught and blind no longer went up. This blind is a perfect fit but uses 3 screws on the sides and not 4 like the original. I didn’t get any screws with the blind but used the old ones without issue. Two screws hold the main blind part up and then there’s only the two sides to slide in and screw to the wood - which will need new holes as not in same place as velux fitting. This is a little fiddly but easily achieved by even a novice. The blind works great once fitted. The mechanism is different to Velux but works well, it just slides in the runners and not on a string / cord. To return to the open position you have to angle the handle which you use to pull it down, which took me a few seconds to work out. Do not try and push it up like the Velux ones. Takes a little readjustment of your usual closing motion but works well when used to it. Total time to remove old and fit this blind was 10mins max. Very easy and a nice well fitting result. Impressed and a great price. Truly is blackout too. I bought the standard dark grey colour as it was the same as the old one and is very smart. Only small complaint is that the blind has slight lines from folding within the unit but that’s nit picking and the blind is a great replacement. Seller dispatch is quick and shipping tracked.

100% Outstanding - You Must Buy These
Firstly, I bought these with my own money. Secondly, I am a genuine customer - too many dodgy reviews on Amazon, to be honest.Anyway, I have to say that these are absolutely brilliant. Easy to install. Easy to use. Super fast delivery and great value for money.I am pretty rubbish at DIY and often make mistakes with flat packs and stuff like that. Well, these are idiot (like me) proof.We live in a converted barn and have a ton of Velux windows and I just cannot afford Velux prices. Two of the children's bedroom have sun streaming into them first thing in the morning and these totally black the light out.i think I'll be buying more for the other windows.

Really easy to install and great blackout
Replaced 5 old velux with these blinds. I’m a DIY novice, but they were really easy to install. Much better blackout than old blinds. Great value for money and I’m very happy I bought these.

Worst instructions in the history of the universe.
The blind and mount are good quality. There's very little light seeping through, and they fit perfectly.However, the instructions are not only unfathomable, they're actually deceptive - and the videos on the company website show a man with his back to you rather than any actual installation of the blinds.It turns out, they're actually really easy to install. If you've installed one before, it won't take two minutes. But if it's your first time installing a skylight blind, you're going to spend hours trying to follow the unfathomable, misleading instructions.We've just moved to a new house, I've put up sixteen pieces of flatpack, and four blinds (including this one) in three days, and this was the only thing I've had any problems with. It's not like I can't follow a manual, the manual is just the single most incompetent set of instructions ever created since the dawn of the universe. They're even less realistic than a British Rail time table.But again, the blind is fine, and it's really easy to fit once you realise the instructions are a work of fiction, and figure out what you're doing.
