A great product which is excellent quality and easy to install. I went for the carpeted finish which meant I could install without any additional work using the self tapping screws provided. Although a little more cost than other options they are very simple to fit with a neat and tidy finish. The shades also do a fab job of blocking out the light with the smallest amount of light only at the edges of the blind. Better at excluding light than my bedroom curtains.

I recently bought a screen cover from Vanshades. It was the second cover I have bought from them. The first was for my previous van.I can't rate them and their products highly enough. On both occasions, I ordered bespoke designs and on both occasions they delivered beyond expectations. From putting my order in to receiving the cover only took a couple of weeks.All throughout, Louise kept me well informed.To all at Vanshades, thank you so much.

I had three VW T6 Window Pods fitted at Vanshades last week... When i arrived there was a great vibe about the place with all staff having a game of footy in the carpark during their dinner break. The fitting service was first class, all fitters were super friendly, polite and addressed you by your first name which made me feel welcomed. The Office support staff made me a cup of tea when i arrived, they could not do enough for me. As for the product... superb quality and looks the business. I can 100% Highly recommend Vanshades. Thanks Guys.

I recently upgraded my van's window coverings with Vanshades, and I couldn't be happier with the result. From the initial interaction to the final installation, the entire experience was exceptional.I first encountered Vanshades at the NEC Camper show, where I had the pleasure of meeting Jack Staniforth and his team. Their passion for their product was immediately evident. Jack's knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious, and he patiently addressed all my concerns about the installation process. After a fun and informative discussion about colour combinations, I confidently placed an order for three pods for my van.Upon receiving my order, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of installation. The process was far simpler than I had anticipated, thanks to the clear instructions and the thoughtful inclusion of an extended and magnetic bit holder – a professional touch that speaks volumes about Vanshades' commitment to customer satisfaction.The Vanshades themselves are a significant improvement over my original curtains. The quality is outstanding, and they provide a sleek, modern look while offering excellent privacy and light control. They're a truly superior upgrade, and I'm incredibly impressed with the overall product and service.If you're looking for high-quality window coverings for your van, I wholeheartedly recommend Vanshades. Their dedication to customer service, coupled with their top-notch product, makes them an excellent choice.
