Bespoke Electric Blinds for Flat & Pitched Roof Skylights
To ensure the perfect fit for your skylight opening, please measure from plasterboard to plasterboard.
Important: We manufacture blinds to the exact measurements you provide. To ensure a proper fit, we recommend subtracting 10mm from both the width and length. Please refer to our measuring guide below, and feel free to call us if you have any questions.

Whether you want to enhance privacy, control natural light, or add a touch of modern convenience, our Bespoke Electric Blinds are the perfect solution, tailor-made to meet your needs.
We've simplified the installation process: simply insert the screws into the dedicated holes.
All of our blinds include a 20mm quarter circle PVC trim, precisely designed to fill any gaps after installation, delivering a snug fit and polished look.
Important: All blinds are made to order and are non-refundable if measurements are incorrect. Please check our measuring guide below.
Measuring Guide
To ensure your blinds fit perfectly, follow these steps:
- Measure the Opening: Begin by taking the width and height measurements of your skylight opening from plasterboard to plasterboard. It's important to measure both dimensions accurately for a proper fit.
- Verify Consistency: Measure both sides of the opening to check for any differences. If there are variations—such as one side being 550mm and the other 540mm—use the smaller measurement. This guarantees the blinds will fit the narrowest part of the opening.
- Calculate the Opening Size: After measuring, you will have the precise dimensions of your opening.
- Account for Clearance: Subtract 8-10mm from both the width and height to ensure sufficient clearance. For instance, if your opening is 3000mm x 2000mm, order a blind that is 2990mm x 1990mm.
To ensure there are no visible gaps, we provide a plastic cover that adheres to the plasterboard and frames the edge of the blind.
By following these steps, you can ensure your blind will fit perfectly and operate smoothly within the opening.

Installation Guide
Each blind frame is pre-equipped with screw holes for ease of installation.
1. Positioning Your Blind: Carefully position the blind within the designated recess.
For aesthetic purposes, we recommend setting the blind about 200mm below the glazing, though adjustments can be made according to your preferences.
Note: For flat roof installations, it is beneficial but not mandatory to achieve a level position to enhance the appearance.
2. Marking Drill Points: Securely hold the blind and use a pencil to transfer the positions of the pre-drilled holes onto the wall. These marks will guide your drilling.
3. Drilling: Take down the blind and drill holes at the marked positions on your wall. Follow by inserting the suitable rawl plugs into these holes.
4. Securing the Blind: Align the blind with the newly drilled holes and secure it in place.
For Hardwired Models: Make sure the wire faces the glazing for improved aesthetics and functionality. These models should be professionally installed.
5. Finishing Touches: Fit the provided trims around the blind to conceal any gaps. Ensure that the surfaces are cleaned with the included wipe before applying the trims for better adhesion.
This installation guide aims to simplify your setup process, ensuring that your blind is both securely installed and visually appealing.

Wonderfull service, great quality product which was received in the time what was given
Bought this Skylight for my dining area to improve the natural light into the open space of the kitchen/dining/living room, the change it has made to the room is amazing, we are very happy with the result, friends and family absolutely love this feature of the house.
Great product! Fast shipping and great customer service. High quality and easy to install with installation videos supplied. Will buy again.
We needed a skylight fast, and this company delivered within two days at the best price compared to others online. My only regret is not discovering them sooner. If I had known, I would have re-designed the roof to accommodate a larger skylight, as the cost difference for bigger glass is minimal.
