Energy Saving (Blackout), Dark Mahogany - Loft Blind
To order one of our Skylight blinds, all you need to know is the window manufacturer and the window size. To identify your window manufacturer and window code:
1. Open the window and locate your data plate on the inside edge. This will usually be located either on the top side of the window or on the inside of the frame itself.
2. Note down the manufacturer and the size code as indicated on the data plate.
For VELUX® windows, the size code is usually made up of a group of letters and numbers such as “GGL M04”. For other window manufacturers, the size will be either a number or a letter/number combination such as “01” or “C2A”.
3. If you can't find a data plate on your window, measure the visible glass from side to side and top to bottom and use the charts below to find your code.

We can provide blinds for the majority of window types and sizes but please note that we may not list some older sizes. If you need any help in identifying your window or ordering, please feel free to contact us where our team is ready to help.
VELUX® blinds are designed to only fit VELUX® branded windows and are slightly more expensive than our loft blinds. At 247 we have designed our own collection ‘loft blinds’ to work in exactly the same way and be compatible for all window types including VELUX®, Fakro, Rooflite and Dakstra. Our loft blinds are very competitive on price with faster delivery and a huge choice of fabrics.
Most windows will have a data plate on the inside edge which you will find when opening the window, we need the manufacturer and size stated on your plate to find the correct blind for your window type. For full instructions on finding your window type, please view the measuring tab for this blind.
Our loft blinds are available in a range of different fabrics to suit your window and interior. Our blackout collection will block out most of the light with a small amount of light bleed around the edges, if your window is in a kitchen or bathroom we have a waterproof range with fabrics designed to be moisture resistant and easy to clean which both work great considering your window will be angled when opened and could be exposed to wet conditions.
