Troubleshooting
Blind does not fit window properly
Double-check the Velux window size and model against the blind's compatibility. Ensure you are using the correct mounting points designed for Velux windows.
Light gaps around the edges
Ensure the brushed seal system is properly seated against the window frame. Re-adjust the blind's position to maximize the seal. Check for any obstructions around the frame.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled
Hang the blind fully extended for a few days to allow creases to fall out. Gently iron on a very low heat setting on the reverse side if necessary, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
