Full details
The VELUX Duo Blackout Roller Blind (CK04) is designed for homeowners who require total light control in bedrooms and living areas. By combining a blackout fabric for complete darkness and a pleated blind for soft light diffusion, this two-in-one system offers exceptional versatility. While it provides excellent insulation and a sleek aesthetic, it is essential to verify your specific VELUX roof window code before purchase to ensure a perfect fit.

FAQs
How do I identify if the CK04 size is correct for my window?
Open your VELUX roof window and locate the identification plate on the top of the window frame. This plate will list the model code, which must match CK04.
Can I operate both parts of the blind at the same time?
The duo blind system allows you to adjust both the blackout section and the pleated section independently to suit your lighting preference.
Is the installation difficult for a DIY beginner?
The blinds are designed for quick and easy installation with included hardware; most users find it a manageable project with basic tools.
Is the fabric machine washable?
No, the fabric should only be spot-cleaned or vacuumed. Do not immerse in water.
Does this blind come in other colors?
Yes, while this is the White model, other variants are available in different color families depending on the specific model requirements.
Troubleshooting
The blind does not slide smoothly in the side channels.
Check the channels for any debris or obstructions and ensure the brackets are securely aligned.
Light is leaking around the edges.
Verify that the side channels are fully seated and that the blind is pulled completely square.
The blind mechanism feels stuck.
Gently retract the blind fully and re-extend it to reset the tension in the manual spring system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation

Compatibility
This model is specifically designed for the CK04 size. You must verify your window code, which is located on the data plate found on the top of the roof window frame when the window is in the open position. Do not attempt to install on non-VELUX or incorrectly sized windows.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your blind:
- Dust the fabric regularly with a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
- Use a damp cloth to wipe down the aluminum channels.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could damage the fabric finish or the coating on the side channels.
