FAQs

Is this blind suitable for non-Velux roof windows?

This blind is specifically designed and optimized for Velux roof windows. While it might appear to fit other windows, the sealing and fitting mechanism may not function as intended.

How do I clean the blackout fabric?

You can clean the fabric with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow it to dry completely.

What is the thermal backing for?

The white thermal backing helps to insulate the room. It reflects solar heat in the summer to keep the room cooler and retains heat in the winter to help keep the room warmer.

Do I need any tools to install this blind?

No, the blind is designed for a no-drill installation, making it easy to fit without requiring any tools.

How effective is the blackout feature?

The blackout fabric is designed to block out unwanted light effectively, creating a significantly darker room. The brushed seal system further minimizes light leakage around the edges.

What sizes are available?

This specific product listing is for Size: PK10. Please refer to product details for specific dimensions or other available sizes.

Can I retract the blind?

This model is a fitted blackout blind, designed to be installed and remain in place. It is not a retractable roller blind.

Troubleshooting

Blind does not fully block light at edges.

Ensure the brushed seal system is making full contact with the window frame. Check for any obstructions and ensure the blind is correctly positioned according to installation instructions.

Difficulty installing the blind.

Confirm the blind is the correct size for your Velux window. Ensure the window frame is clean and free of debris. Refer to the installation guide for specific steps, ensuring an even pressure is applied during placement.

Fabric appears creased or damaged.

Allow the blind to hang fully for a period, as creases often fall out naturally. If damage has occurred, contact customer support. Avoid using steam or high heat to remove wrinkles.

Blind does not stay in place.

Re-check the mounting points and the window frame for cleanliness and any damage. Ensure you are applying sufficient pressure during installation to engage the sealing mechanism properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation is designed to be straightforward and requires no drilling. Ensure the window frame is clean and dry. Carefully align the blind with the Velux window frame and press firmly to engage the seal and secure the blind in place. Follow any specific instructions provided with the product for optimal placement.

Compatibility:

This blind is specifically designed to fit Velux roof windows. While it may visually fit other similar-sized windows, its sealing mechanism and fit are optimized for Velux frames. Always confirm your window model and size against the product specifications before purchasing.

Care:

To clean the blind, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and thermal coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the blind is completely dry before retracting it. Regular dusting with a soft brush or microfiber cloth will help maintain its appearance.
