Ordering Information & Installation
Simply measure wall to wall (plasterboard to plasterboard) inside rooflight aperture and we will make a 10mm deduction from the width and height to give a 5mm clearance all the way around the outer
blind frame. We recommend ordering your blind fully assembled so you receive it as a frame ready to screw in place.

Do you make the blinds yourself in your UK factory?
Yes we manufacture the blinds in our Stamford factory cut to size and built to your exact spec.
Can I buy direct from you as a homeowner?
Yes we are happy to supply homeowners direct, cutting out the middle man saves £££’s
Do your blinds have any visible supporting wires in the middle of the rooflight?
No our blinds are designed to be clutter free with self-supporting
inserts within the cellular blind material.
How easy are the blinds to install?
If you choose the pre-assembled option (our recommendation) the blinds come ready assembled in a frame and simply fix into place with four screws in minutes.
Kit-form blinds require assembly on site which takes about an hour per blind.
I’ve just had a brand new rooflight fitted in my house and the plasterboard hasn’t been fitted yet, what do I measure?
If you want the blind frame to be partially hidden by the plasterboard for a more minimal look you need to give us the tight rooflight sizes internally aluminium to aluminium and we will make the deductions to suit.
For this option you need to fit the blind first and then plasterboard afterwards, so timing is important
Is the battery power pack simple plug and play?
Yes now wiring is required and the battery pack is Velcro fixed in place above the blind for easy removal to charge up.
How big is the battery pack and where should I place it?
The battery pack comes with a flush mounted recessed box with white cover plate to fix inside the rooflight plasterboard aperture for a flush concealed finish allowing easy access.
The size is approx. 190mm x 130mm the battery fits inside with simple plug-in connectors and is easily removed for recharging.
Does the cellular blind material block 100% of the light coming in from my skylightor roof window?
Pretty much, we say 99% thanks to the built in aluminium fixing frame that comes with each SKY-BLIND
Do the blinds come with a plug for my electrician to create a hidden socket in the ceiling to power them?
Yes we supply around 3.5mtrs of cable including the small step down transformer that takes the voltage down to 24V DC.
What should I deduct for the blinds to fit my skylight recess opening?
We will make the deductions, you simply measure plasterboard to
plasterboard, tight sizes.
How fast can I get delivery of my blind?
We deliver all blinds within 5-7 days from ordering.
Do you deliver on your own transport?
Yes when you order the blind pre-assembled we use our vans to deliver to ensure no damage.
Do you have a remote control that can operate multiple rooflight blinds as I have 4 separate blinds in my kitchen?
Yes simply choose multi-channel remote control option when ordering on our website.
What if I order the blinds the wrong size?
We understand that this happens occasionally and so we offer a refund with 25% handling fee to remake the blind swapping it over to the correct sizes rather than it being a total loss.
Can I get a small sample of the blind material options to view please?
Yes simply email us your name and address to sales@sky-blind.co.uk and we will send out material samples to you.
