Well designed blind fit specifically to certain model of Velux skylight. However, I do agree with other reviewers' comment about the installation instruction is hard to understand. I believe a video instruction will help to resolve the issue.

This blind helps cut down the glare we had before insulation as well as the heat, so we are pretty happy we can now use our kitchen midday. Installation was fairly easy, there were no directions in one section so we called Velux and they emailed them right away, that was excellent. The instructions are OK, but they take a bit of thought to wrap your mind around because there are no words. Once you get into the mind of Velux, it's all good. Everything fit as predicted, no issues. no complaints.

    This blind was fairly easy to assemble. The quality is very good but let’s a little light in on the sides between the blind and the metal. Overall I like it.

    Some assembly required should stand out in the manufacturer's description. If you are an engineer or mechanic (I am both), you may be able to install this, but you will need at least that experience level. I could NOT follow the pictogram assembly instructions, with the many 'click' words printed next to many illustration pages. NOTHING 'clicked' together for me. I defy Home Depot to send an untrained clerk to my house to prove it is possible to assemble this thing using that minimal assembly pamphlet. I had to provide my own longer drywall screws to mount the frame to the skylight opening, after taping the thing together at ground level. Working at a 10 foot high ceiling skylight. I was able to 'mount' the unit using my own hardware. So be warned; some real innovative assembly required.

    VELUX as a company strives on continual improvements and from your comments it appears that our installation instructions may need to be reviewed and revised. I am happy to that you were still able to install these shades and hope that it (along with your skylight) will provide you with many years of service. I would also like to mention that VELUX shades will perfectly fit VELUX skylights that come with our "Pick & Click" brackets and will not fit older VELUX skylights or skylights that are manufactured by other companies.

      poor instructions for installing skylight window blind, disappointed that window is no longer made with the aluminum on one side which helps deflect the sun in summer months.

      Installation was a piece of cake. Love the way it works and is a huge step above the prior Velux shades I had years ago.

      The Velux solar powered shades are great. Not only do they open and close well they do a great job of darkening the room. I highly recommend them.
