Tipiace Custom Blackout Honeycomb Skylight Window Shade — Light Grey

Reviews

1. E EJ 5/5

   Blocks all outside light

   This truly shuts out daylight. My grandchildren love the darkened room. I couldn't get a standard interior blind to work on this skylight and this saved me from replacing the entire unit.

   Great insulation but needs a way to hold position

   This blocks the sun and is easy to fit. My only problem is the shade doesn’t lock fully open or closed on its own — it folds like an accordion and needs something to hold it in place. I bought small adhesive magnets to try. The material seems well made and it’s lightweight; I’d buy again for the insulating effect.

   True blackout, good customer communication

   The company contacted me to confirm my custom size before making the shade, and they corrected a measurement I’d entered incorrectly. The finished blind fits perfectly, keeps heat out and seems built to last. A small block during installation helps keep one end steady while fastening the other.

   Very happy — good fit and price

   After comparing several options, this was much more affordable and performed well. The seller confirmed my measurements before production, which I appreciated. Installation was straightforward. Make sure your frame is square and follow the measuring instructions closely.

   Easy to install, keeps rooms cool

   We installed four of these to combat hot summer sun. After measuring and sending sizes, the company slightly reduced dimensions per their guidance and the blinds fit well. The first install took longer because it was mounted upside down, but once oriented correctly the remaining three went in quickly.

   Disappointed — fit and function issues

   Delivery took a long time and I scheduled a contractor. The width was acceptable but the length didn’t work for our opening. Once installed it would not stay closed or partially open and kept popping back. Instructions were sparse and it seemed components were missing or poorly designed. I wouldn’t recommend this for a critical job without confirming all parts and fit first.

   Good value and fit when measured carefully

   I rarely post reviews but wanted to share my experience. I measured very precisely and sent the dimensions as requested. The unit arrived sooner than expected, included basic instructions and the frame had pre-drilled holes. I assembled it on the floor and paid attention to which side faces the room — the slider opening indicates the front. The shade fits almost perfectly in the skylight with a tiny gap.

   Well made and assembled easily

   I chose the light gray model and the unit assembled quickly with the included screws. If you’re unsure about the frame pieces, align the large opening toward the blind to match the screw holes. The gray face should go on the inside to match the reflective white outward side. They ship slightly undersized per their policy, and I used longer mounting screws for my installation.
