FAQs

What Velux window sizes does this blind fit?

This blind is designed to fit specific Velux window sizes. Please check the product specifications and your Velux window model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing. The MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) and size information are crucial for verification.

Can I use this blind on a non-Velux window?

No, this blind is specifically designed and engineered to fit Velux roof windows only. Using it on other window types will likely result in improper fit and function.

How do I clean the blackout fabric?

Gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.

Does the 'Night Sky' fabric mean it's black?

The 'Night Sky' fabric itself is designed for blackout. The 'Silver' in the product title refers to the colour of the frame or operating mechanism, not the fabric. The fabric colour will match the specific variant you choose (e.g., Black, Blue, Grey, Cream, White).

What is the benefit of the white thermal backing?

The white thermal backing enhances the blind's insulating properties. It helps reflect solar heat in the summer to keep the room cooler and retains internal heat in the winter to improve warmth and energy efficiency.

Is this blind completely 'drill-free'?

Yes, the Bloc Blinds Skylight Blind is designed for a no-drill installation, requiring no tools or permanent fixtures to be attached to your window frame.

How does the brushed seal system work?

The brushed seal system creates a snug barrier between the blind and the window frame. This effectively minimizes light leakage around the edges and reduces heat transfer, enhancing both blackout and thermal performance.

Troubleshooting

Blind is difficult to install.

Ensure you are aligning the blind correctly with the Velux window frame's designated fitting points. Check that you have the correct blind size for your window. Apply firm, even pressure.

Light is leaking around the edges.

Verify that the brushed seal system is properly seated against the window frame. Ensure the blind is the correct size for the window and fully engaged in its tracks. Slight adjustments may be needed.

Blind does not retract smoothly.

Check for any obstructions in the track or around the mechanism. Ensure the fabric is not creased or caught. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Fabric appears damaged.

Inspect the fabric carefully for tears or snags. Avoid using sharp objects near the blind. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Bloc Blinds Skylight Blind is designed for a no-drill, tool-free installation. Align the blind with the pre-designed slots or runners within your Velux window frame and simply push it into place until it clicks securely. Specific instructions may vary slightly depending on the exact Velux window model, so always refer to the included manual.

Compatibility: This blind is specifically engineered to fit Velux roof windows. It is not designed for use with other brands or types of windows. Ensure your window is a genuine Velux model and confirm the size matches the blind's specifications.

Care: To clean the blind, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the fabric. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and its thermal coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the blind is completely dry before allowing it to retract fully.
