Blackout Roof/Skylight Blinds for Velux GGL/GPL/GHL (WHITE 0008 (SYS F), U08/808/8)

The seller was very helpful in ensuring I ordered the right blind for my Velux window - that was essential. When it arrived and I unpacked it, I thought it was the wrong one, reason being the instructions are very basic and are pictures so you really have to take note of the drawings to ensure you get things installed the right way round. I was just about to give up and consult You tube (there's a video for installing these things) when I noticed I had not inserted the rail all the way into the slot, once done, it was installed in 5 min. Very easy to install too, just a shame the instructions are not more thorough. Works really well too, in blocking the light out completely, makes such a difference.

was easy to put onto the skylight with just 4 screws. it was a bit fiddly to hold it up against the window frame and simultaneously put the screws in, whilst on top of a ladder but it could have been worse...the runners down the sides didnt quite fit at first and required some "encouragement" to push into where they need to sit with the top bar / roller assemblywhat's best though is how well it blacks out light! completely blacks out the window, very happy. was worried that getting a light coloured one wont be as good, but have been happily proven wrongcant voucher for durability at present, but very happy with how well it performs so far

After long research trying to avoid the Velux prices, finally decided to give it ago (not without hesitation) and it paid off!!! They cover an extensive range of Velux models, super easy to assemble and YES IT DOES BLACKS OUT! just the tiiiiny tiiiiniest gap at the bottom when fully closed.Super handy and press and slide mechanism that allows you to stop the blind at any point and stays fixed so you can regulate the light.Very, very pleased with this product!

We needed a new blackout blind for my daughters bedroom, velux charge a fortune and the previous one didn't really black out the room that well and was a right carry on to put up. We saw this on amazon with good reviews so I emailed the code on the window to the company who replied quickly with the correct one to order. It was dispatched and sent in a timely manner. We have now finally got the window sanded and re varnished and easily put up the new blind, which is so much better than the old one. We will be ordering more for other windows we are delighted

If you compare it to the original Velux blind, it is slightly different but once on the window, it looks the same. The only thing I would say is that if you pull the blind down completely, you can't lift it up in one go unless you push the bottom bar towards the window slightly. It seems to be on a spring so don't force it up. Push it in gently and it will go up a bit at a time. Otherwise, it looks lovely. Easy to fit. Did it myself (Lady DIYer!) in 15 minutes.

Nice blind, does the job fine, only 4 screws to fit (though it took a little bit of head scratching to install it, as the instructions are really quite basic). It loses a couple of stars because the order page provides a choice of colours, so we chose brown. However a cream blind arrived. I know it says cream in the title, but why provide a choice of colours ....? Can't be bothered to send back for this price though, so if you're after a cream blind I would go for it.

Arrived safely and on time. I was at work when I had the blind fitted so when I got back I immediately closed the blind to see if it was totally blackout...which it was. Hooray! The only problem I had was I couldn't then open it. It was stuck firm. It was only after playing around with it for several minutes that I realised it was locked and I had to tilt the bottom of the blind to released the lock....phew!

Surprisingly easy to fit. Instructions could have been clearer on how the blind slots into the guides but other than that, easy enough to follow. Worked perfectly. First blind took about 15 mins to fit but once it has been figured out subsequent blinds would take 5 minutes.
