Full details
This NRF Combination Blind and Flyscreen is designed for motorhome and caravan owners seeking to manage light, ventilation, and insect entry in a single unit. It offers a dual-functionality of a blackout blind and a flyscreen, allowing users to achieve darkness or screen out pests while maintaining airflow. A key benefit is its adjustable height, which can be trimmed to fit specific window dimensions. The primary caveat is that installation may require some basic DIY skills and careful measurement.

FAQs
Can I install this blind myself?
Yes, the NRF Combination Blind & Flyscreen is designed for easy installation with standard fittings, suitable for users with basic DIY skills. Ensure accurate measurements before any trimming.
What are the exact dimensions of the blind?
The blind is designed to fit window dimensions of 1400 mm in width and 650 mm in height. The overall length of the unit is 1476 mm.
Can the height of the blind be adjusted?
Yes, the height of the blind material can be trimmed to fit specific window sizes. This is a permanent adjustment made during installation.
What materials is the blind made from?
The blind is constructed from high-quality plastic for the frame and components, and durable mesh for the flyscreen, along with the blackout blind material.
What color is the frame and the blind?
The frame is a modern grey color, and the blackout blind itself is off-white.
Is this blind suitable for all motorhome windows?
It is designed for windows with a width of 1400mm and a height of up to 650mm (or adaptable by trimming). You will need to measure your specific window to confirm compatibility.
How do I clean the blind?
The frame can be wiped with a damp cloth. The mesh can be gently vacuumed or wiped. The blackout material can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not retract or extend smoothly.
Check for any obstructions in the track. Ensure the mesh and blind material are not caught or bunched up. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may need professional inspection.
Flyscreen is not effectively keeping insects out.
Verify that the blind is fully closed and properly sealed around the edges. Check for any tears or holes in the mesh and repair or replace if necessary.
Fitting feels loose after installation.
Re-check all standard fittings and ensure they are securely tightened. If mounting holes were drilled, ensure they are appropriate for the frame material. Consider using additional adhesive or fasteners if needed, ensuring they are suitable for vehicle use.
Blind material was cut too short.
Unfortunately, if the blind material is trimmed too short, it cannot be extended. This is a permanent alteration. Careful measurement before cutting is crucial.
