FAQs

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes a headrail with hook tape, end caps, PVC wall supports, cord lock, umbrella pull cord, child safety cord cleat, fibreglass rods, oval bottom weight bar, hook on cord toggles, loop tape, pocket tape, wall screws, wall plugs, and warning labels.

Do I need to buy fabric separately?

Yes, the fabric is not included with this kit. You will need to purchase your own fabric to create the Roman blind.

What are the maximum dimensions of the blind I can create?

The kit has a standard drop of 210cm. The width can be customized from 60cm up to 210cm, and can be cut down further if needed.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

Yes, the kit is designed for DIY assembly and includes all necessary fittings. Some basic crafting or sewing skills may be helpful for attaching the fabric.

How do I ensure the blind is child safe?

The kit includes a child safety cord cleat. You should install this at an appropriate height and wrap the excess cord around it to keep it out of reach of children.

Can I cut the headrail or rods to size?

The fibreglass rods and the fabric can be cut to size. The headrail is typically used as provided, but ensure your fabric width matches or is less than the headrail width.

What colour is the kit?

The kit features white corded elements with silver accent details on some fittings.

Troubleshooting

Blind does not hang straight

Ensure the pocket tape and fibreglass rods are installed evenly and at consistent intervals on the fabric. Check that the headrail is mounted level.

Cord is difficult to operate

Verify that the cords are not tangled or obstructed. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the headrail and eyelets. Check the cord lock for proper function.

Fabric is not attaching securely to the headrail

Make sure the hook tape on the fabric is correctly aligned and firmly pressed onto the hook tape on the headrail.

Child safety cleat is not holding the cord effectively

Ensure the cord is wrapped around the cleat correctly and that the cleat is securely mounted to the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare your chosen fabric by cutting it to the required size, accounting for seams and hems.
  2. Attach the pocket tape to the back of your fabric at regular intervals, ensuring they are level.
  3. Affix the hook tape to the top edge of your fabric.
  4. Thread the fibreglass rods through the pockets on your fabric.
  5. Attach the fabric to the headrail using the pre-fixed hook tape.
  6. Install the bottom weight bar into the designated pocket at the base of the fabric.
  7. Thread the cords through the eyelets on the pocket tape and the headrail.
  8. Secure the cords using the hook-on cord toggles.
  9. Mount the PVC clip-in wall supports to your wall, ensuring they are level and suitable for the weight.
  10. Attach the headrail to the wall supports.
  11. Install the child safety cord cleat and wind the excess cord around it.

Compatibility: This kit is designed to work with most standard upholstery or drapery fabrics. The fibreglass rods and bottom weight bar provide structure, but very heavy or extremely thin fabrics may require consideration during assembly. Ensure your chosen fabric is suitable for Roman blinds.

Care: The metal and plastic components of the kit can be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The fabric portion of the blind will require cleaning according to the fabric manufacturer's instructions.
