FAQs

What is the actual fabric width of the (W)55cm blind?

The fabric width will be approximately 50.5cm (55cm - 4.5cm) to accommodate the fittings.

Can I trim the length of the blind?

These blinds are specifically designed to be trimmable in width. The length is fixed at 165cm and cannot typically be trimmed without compromising the mechanism.

How do I clean the blackout fabric?

Dust regularly with a dry cloth. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the fabric.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, you will need a drill, screwdriver, measuring tape, pencil, and possibly a spirit level. The mounting hardware is usually included.

Is the grey color a dark or light shade?

The product description specifies 'Grey', which is a neutral shade. For precise color matching, referring to the product's visual representation or ordering a sample is recommended.

Can these blinds be fitted inside a window recess?

Yes, they can be fitted inside or outside a window recess. If fitting inside, ensure you account for the bracket depth and the 4.5cm reduction in fabric width.

What is the purpose of the triple square eyelets?

The triple square eyelets are a design feature that adds a modern aesthetic to the blind and provides reinforced points for the hanging mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Blind does not hang straight after trimming.

Ensure the fabric was trimmed with a very sharp blade and a precise straight edge. Check that the mounting brackets are perfectly level.

The roller mechanism is stiff or noisy.

Check for any obstructions in the roller tube. Ensure the blind is correctly seated in its brackets. A small amount of silicone spray on moving parts might help if they are dry.

Fabric is creased after trimming.

Allow the blind to hang for a few days; gravity often helps minor creases fall out. For stubborn creases, a very low-heat iron with a protective cloth might be used with extreme caution, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Chain mechanism not working smoothly.

Ensure the chain is not tangled and is properly seated within its guides. Clean any dust or debris from the chain and mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure your window carefully to determine if trimming is necessary. Remember the fabric width will be 4.5cm less than the installed width.
  2. If trimming, carefully mark and cut the fabric to the desired width using a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.
  3. Install the mounting brackets at the top of the window frame or wall, ensuring they are level and secure.
  4. Attach the roller blind mechanism to the brackets.
  5. Ensure the chain mechanism is on your preferred side for operation.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for interior windows.
  • Designed for standard window frames and wall mounting.
  • Consider window sill depth if the blind is to be mounted inside the frame.

Care:

  • Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
  • Do not machine wash the fabric.
