Product Information
Full details
The Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Brown is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a blend of style and practical light control. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices, this blind offers excellent privacy while maintaining a soft, diffused ambiance in your space. While it provides effective dim-out capabilities, users should note that it is not a 100% total blackout blind, so some light will still filter through the fabric during the day.

FAQs
Can I cut this blind to size?
Yes, both the aluminium tube and the fabric can be trimmed to fit your specific window width using a hacksaw and sharp scissors.
Is this a blackout blind?
No, this is a dim-out blind, meaning it filters light and creates privacy but will not block 100% of external light.
What is the maximum drop?
The blind has a maximum drop of 160cm.
Can I mount this on a ceiling?
Yes, the provided brackets are designed to support top-fixing, making them suitable for ceiling or lintel mounting.
Is it safe for a child's bedroom?
The blind features a child-safe sidewinder mechanism; however, always ensure the chain is secured firmly to the wall using a tensioning device to keep it out of reach.
Troubleshooting
The blind does not roll up evenly.
Ensure the brackets are perfectly level during installation. If the blind is pulling to one side, check that the fabric is mounted centered on the aluminium tube.
The sidewinder mechanism is stiff.
Check for any fabric debris caught in the chain mechanism. A light spray of silicone lubricant can also assist if the internal gears are tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and can be completed with basic household tools. The brackets are designed for versatility, allowing for top, face, or side fixing.
- Measuring: Measure the width of your window space precisely. If mounting inside the recess, deduct a small clearance for the bracket hardware.
- Installation: Secure the metal brackets to your desired surface using appropriate screws for your wall type (e.g., masonry or drywall).
- Mounting: Snap the aluminium tube into the brackets until you hear a click.
- Maintenance: To keep your blind looking new, use a soft, dry brush or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. If a spot stain occurs, gently dab the area with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the fabric, as this may damage the dim-out coating.
