Cutting blackout roller blinds can be challenging and may damage the blackout coating or mechanism. It is recommended to purchase the correct size.
How do I clean the silver-coated back of the blind?

What type of mounting hardware is included?

Does the thermal insulation work both ways?

How durable is the blackout coating?
The thermoplastic silver-coloured layer is designed for durability. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will help maintain its condition.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not roll up or down smoothly
Check if the blind is properly seated in its brackets. Ensure there are no obstructions in the roller mechanism. Gently guide the blind while operating.
Light still seeps around the edges
Ensure the blind is wide and long enough for the window opening. Consider side channels or heavier side weights if edge light is a persistent issue.
Mounting brackets feel loose
Re-tighten the screws. If mounting into drywall, ensure appropriate wall anchors are used for a secure fit. Consider using a stud finder for more robust mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is straightforward. Clean the mounting surface. Use the included screws and wall plugs to attach the brackets to the wall or ceiling. Ensure the brackets are level and securely fastened. Once brackets are in place, slide the roller blind mechanism into them. Test the operation by gently pulling the blind down and allowing it to retract.
Compatibility: This blind is designed for standard window and door openings. Ensure the blind's width and drop measurements are suitable for your specific window frame. It can be mounted internally or externally to the window recess.
Care: To clean the blind, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the blackout coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Regularly check that the mounting hardware remains secure.
