Product Information
Full details
This DIY Roman Blind Kit is for homeowners looking to create custom Roman blinds without professional installation. Its key benefit is providing all necessary components for a professional-looking finish, with the only exclusion being the fabric itself. A caveat is that while the kit is cuttable to size, the initial width selection should be considered carefully.

FAQs
What is the maximum width and drop of this kit?
The kit is available in widths from 60cm to 210cm and has a fixed drop of 210cm. Both width and drop can be cut down to fit your specific window.
Do I need to buy anything else besides fabric?
No, this kit includes all necessary fittings and parts, including the headrail, rods, cord, and fixings. Only the fabric is not included.
Can I use any type of fabric with this kit?
Yes, the kit is compatible with most standard curtain fabrics. Consider the fabric's weight and drape when making your selection for the best visual result.
Is this kit suitable for large windows?
The kit is available in widths up to 210cm, making it suitable for many large windows. For extremely wide windows, you may need to consider multiple blinds.
How is child safety managed with this corded system?
The kit includes a child safety cord cleat designed to keep the cord taut and out of reach. Ensure the cleat is installed at an appropriate height according to safety guidelines.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will typically need a measuring tape, scissors, a drill, a screwdriver, and potentially a spirit level for accurate mounting.
Can the kit be mounted inside or outside the window frame?
The kit is designed for standard face fitting (mounting onto the wall above the window frame) or top fitting (mounting onto the lintel inside the window frame). The choice depends on your window recess and preference.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not hang straight.
Ensure the fibreglass rods are evenly spaced within the fabric pockets and that the bottom weight bar is centered.
Cord is difficult to pull or adjust.
Check that the cord is not tangled and that it runs smoothly through the cord lock and fabric pockets. Ensure no obstructions are present.
Headrail does not feel secure.
Verify that the PVC clip-in wall supports are firmly attached to the wall and that the headrail is properly clipped into them. Ensure the correct wall fixings were used.
Child safety cleat is not holding the cord securely.
Ensure the cord is wrapped correctly around the cleat and that the cleat itself is securely mounted to the wall.
