VELUX Original Roof Window Blackout Blind for M04 / 304 / 1, Sand, with Grey Guide Rail

Bought for GGL-6 windows (had to look at another web site to understand the evolution of velux frame sizes over the year to work out what I needed - shame that information isn't on this page).Warning: Do not pull apart the mounting brackets from their plastic framework until you've looked at all the instructions.There's air-fix style plastic moulds, some bits you throw away, others you use to get the perfect positioning of the brackets and THEN pull the excess plastic off once in place.You get 4 small grey mounts which you attach to your inner window frame first, which come with little spacers attached and a L or R marking on the reverse. So really, if you take 5 minutes to work out the instructions, your life is going to be really easy! As it says, don't detach the red things till the end. I found that on one of my windows, the cable that you stretch down to the bottom bracket was easily done, but not on the other, I had to use quite a bit of force and thought the thing was going to break, but it didn't.These blinds don't go beyond the bottom of the window, so there'll still be some tiny streaks of sunlight, but I could now sleep in my attic in the brightest day without a mask, so does the job very well.You get nearly all the kit you need to do the job, but you will need either an old-school high school compass or hole-making thingy to make a small hole to help the mounting screws go in easily. You will also need a phillips headed screwdriver.Recommended.

We've just finished the loft conversion and needed two blinds for the velux windows. Ordered these and they are perfect. They also came a week early!Husband fitted them and DIY is not his strong point! But he managed to put both up within 30 minutes. They block out the light totally. Very pleased with this product.

Bought 2 of these blackout blinds for the veluxes in my new lift conversion. Having considered cheaper alternatives I'm glad I went for these ones. They are very well designed and high quality. Totally simple to install, no chance of messing it up.

So easy to install, very clear instructions, but if you're worried there are some good u tube videos to watch first.First one 15 minutes, second one less than ten. My husband fitted them, but it was easy enough for me!Perfect fit and brilliant blackout qualities.

It's a superb blind, was easy to install. Im really happy with this product.

Never installed a VELUX blind before so was worried that it would end up as a DIY disaster. Went fairly well though. Took 40 mins to remove the old blind and install this one. Top Tip is to make sure all the fittings are snug to the window frame. This is important to get the blackout as good as possible. I watched a video on Youtube beforehand which helped me to interpret the instructions. Have given 4 stars for value for money as this was one of the more expensive replacement options. Blackout is probably 99%. Very happy with the outcome.

LOVE these blinds. We were quoted £300 by Velux to supply and install the same ones.I watched a YouTube tutorial whilst fitting and, with a little help from my dad, both blinds were up in about 20 minutes. They're fantastic at keeping the light out. Particularly good in the summer when the attic would normally become very hot.

Following the code from the window it’s easy to order the right size. As this was a replacement for an old velux blind it was great to see that it looked identical to the ones we bought 8-10 years ago.
