Product Information
Full details
The Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking a practical and stylish window shading solution that offers a balance of privacy and diffused light. Its key benefit is the adjustable 160cm drop on a robust aluminium tube, coupled with easy-fit brackets. A minor caveat is that while it filters light, it is a dim-out blind, not a blackout blind, meaning some light will still penetrate.

FAQs
What is the maximum drop of the blind?
The blind has a total drop of 160cm, which can be adjusted to your desired length.
Is this a blackout blind?
No, this is a dim-out blind. It filters light gently, reducing glare and providing privacy, but does not block out all light.
Can I install this blind myself?
Yes, the blind comes with easy-fit brackets designed for straightforward DIY installation. You may need basic tools and appropriate fixings for your wall type.
What are the dimensions of the aluminium tube?
The blind is mounted on a 25mm diameter aluminium tube.
How do I clean the fabric?
Regular dusting with a dry cloth is recommended. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent and allow to air dry.
Is the side winder mechanism safe for children?
Yes, the blind features a childsafe side winder mechanism designed to minimize the risk of entanglement.
Can the blind be fitted inside a window recess?
Yes, the easy-fit brackets allow for installation both inside and outside of the window recess.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not lower or raise smoothly
Check that the side winder cord is not tangled or obstructed. Ensure the aluminium tube is seated correctly in the brackets.
Brackets feel loose
Verify that the screws are tightened securely into the wall or ceiling. Use appropriate wall anchors if mounting into drywall.
Fabric is creased
Lower the blind fully and leave it for a few hours. Gently steam the fabric (at a distance) if creases persist, ensuring the fabric is dry before raising.
Side winder mechanism is stiff
Ensure there are no obstructions around the winder mechanism. Lightly lubricate the winder components if necessary, using a silicone-based lubricant suitable for plastics.
