FAQs

What size VELUX window is this blind for?

This VELUX DKL Blackout Blind is specifically designed for the MK08 size of VELUX roof windows.

How do I operate the blind?

The blind features stepless manual operation. You can slide it to your desired position along the window frame.

Can I install this blind myself?

Yes, the blind is designed for user installation with basic tools. Detailed instructions are provided with the product.

What is the fabric made of?

The fabric is a heat-reflective, aluminium-coated polyester.

Does the grey colour affect light blocking?

No, the grey colour is for aesthetics. The blackout and heat-reflective properties come from the aluminium coating on the polyester fabric, regardless of the visible color.

Can this blind be used with electric VELUX windows?

This specific DKL model is for manual operation. VELUX offers electrically operated blind options for their KML system windows.

How do I clean the blind?

Wipe the blind with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Troubleshooting

Blind does not move smoothly.

Check for any obstructions in the side channels. Ensure the fabric is not snagged. If the issue persists, contact VELUX support.

Blind does not block light completely.

Verify that the blind is correctly installed and fully extended. Ensure it is the correct size for the MK08 window. Check for gaps around the edges and ensure the side channels are properly seated.

Fabric appears creased.

Extend the blind fully and leave it in direct sunlight for a few hours. This can help relax minor creases. Avoid ironing the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This DKL blind is specifically designed for VELUX roof window MK08 sizes. Ensure your window frame matches the MK08 dimensions before purchasing. Refer to your VELUX window's identification plate for the correct size code.

Setup:

Installation typically involves attaching the blind's top profile to the window frame and then securing the side channels. Specific instructions will be included with the product, but generally, it requires basic tools like a screwdriver.

Care:

To clean the blind, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the fabric and coating. For minor dust, a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment can be used.

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
