    I have 2 x Velux windows in a bedroom upstairs, one already has a retractable blackout blind (of sorts) fitted, and I would like to get another fitted to the one without.

    Anyone know where I would get one, and how much it would cost?

    Edit: Size 28.5in (72cm) long x 24in (60cm) wide.

    Edit again: just checked frame, its a GGL M04 size

    You will get them far cheaper from Chadwicks Builders Providers in Coolock.

    I got 4 off them.All were GGL SO6 sized (large Velux Windows).

    2 were manual slatted blinds and 2 were solar powered blackout blinds in grey

    Saved a fortune as Chadwicks did me a brilliant deal on all 4 blinds.

    Oh and they are the genuine Velux blinds.

    I posted a thread about them here allready.:)#

    Prefer not to order from Velux themselves, prices are scary.

    Paddy147, thanks for your photos. I sent you a PM earlier, did you get it?

    About the solar hot water system??

    Yep,very very happy with it so far.

    Cannot fault it in any way.Piping hot water 24/7.:D



    Oh and the reason why I bought the Velux blinds from Chadwicks,was the fact that they undercut everyone else by alot of euros.Even Velux Direct

    So more money in my wallet is good for me.:D

    No problem.:)


    Sorry for not getting back to you sooner with regards the solar system.

    Saw your PM and then I got a phone call and got side tracked with something else.
