Product Information

Full details

The VELUX DKL Blackout Blind in White (MK08) is designed for VELUX roof windows, offering complete light control and a perfect fit for specific window sizes. Its key benefit is achieving total darkness with heat-reflective fabric, ideal for bedrooms or media rooms. A caveat to be aware of is the need for specific window codes (MK08) for compatibility and the potential requirement for separate mounting brackets if not pre-fitted. This blind features a high-quality, OEKO-TEX certified fabric and stepless manual operation for easy adjustment.

FAQs

How do I find my VELUX window code?

Open your VELUX roof window fully. Look for a label on the top edge of the window frame. This label usually contains a code like 'GGL' followed by size dimensions, such as 'MK08'.

Is this blind compatible with non-VELUX windows?

No, this blind is specifically designed and engineered to fit VELUX roof windows with the corresponding MK08 code for optimal performance and a perfect fit.

What is the difference between this and a standard roller blind?

This is a blackout blind with a heat-reflective aluminium coating, designed for total light blockage and thermal insulation, unlike standard roller blinds which primarily offer shade.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Typically, no special tools are required if the mounting brackets are pre-fitted on your window. You might need a screwdriver if you need to install the Z0Z 230 bracket set separately.

Can the fabric be machine washed?

No, the fabric should not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done with a slightly damp cloth to preserve the blackout and heat-reflective properties.

What does OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified mean?

It means the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health, ensuring the fabric meets high ecological standards.

Can I stop the blind partway?

Yes, the stepless manual operation allows you to position and hold the blind at any point within the window frame.

Troubleshooting

Blind does not stay in position

Ensure the guide rails are clean and free of debris. Check that the blind is fully seated within the guide rails. If the issue persists, the internal tension mechanism may need attention; contact customer support.

Light gaps around the edges

Verify that the blind is the correct size for your window (MK08). Ensure the guide rails are properly installed and aligned flush with the window frame. Adjust the blind's position within the rails if possible.

Difficulty operating the blind

Check the guide rails for obstructions or dirt. Gently clean the rails with a damp cloth. Try operating the blind slowly and evenly.

Fabric appears damaged or faded

Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents. If damage is significant, the fabric may need replacement. Contact VELUX customer support for options.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves complete darkness for improved sleep or viewing.
  • Tailored fit for specific VELUX window sizes, ensuring no light gaps.
  • Helps regulate room temperature by reflecting heat.
  • Simple, stepless manual adjustment.
  • Certified safe materials (OEKO-TEX Standard 100).
  • Straightforward installation process.

Cons

  • Only compatible with specific VELUX window sizes (MK08).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This blind is designed for VELUX roof windows with the following reference codes: GGL MK08, GGU MK08, GPL MK08, GPU MK08, GTL MK08, GTU MK08. Always confirm your window code, typically found on the top edge of the opened window.

Setup:

Installation is designed to be straightforward. The blind often comes with a pre-fitted mounting system. Align the guide rails with the window frame and secure them. If your window does not have pre-fitted brackets, you will need to purchase the VELUX bracket set Z0Z 230 separately and install them first.

Care:

To clean the blind, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the fabric. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the heat-reflective coating. Ensure the blind is dry before operating it fully. Keep the guide rails clean and free of dust for smooth operation.
