I love the solar blinds. So much better than struggling with the manual method. I did not realise they were an option until the lovely lady from customer services told me about them. I found it easy to get the two controls aligned so one button works both blinds.
Installation instructions were clear. However, it would be good if either instructions for uninstalling a previous blind were included or at least a URL saying where to view them.
Instructions provided with awning blind are useless - do not clearly show what should be done. Found YouTube video ( Velux official) which was better but still not as clear as possible - it did not relate to exactly how my model of window was constructed relevant to the details shown . Once I figured out what it actually meant, installation was easy. You do not need to drill any holes only need a torx bit screwdriver ( not stated in instructions)
Fitted new blind into old Velux window. Good that Velux still supply items for old installations. Quick to fit - good quality product.
Even though my order was for an older type window, it was not until I contacted customer service / technical and sent photos, was I told to remove the old side runners from the main frame before installing the fixing brackets. There is no mention of needing to do so in any Velux instructions. I can\'t be the only cutomer who has had a similar experience.
