Product Information
Full details
The Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Cream is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of privacy and gentle light diffusion. Its key benefit is providing effective light filtering while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic. A potential consideration is the 160cm drop, which may require careful measurement for some window sizes. This roller blind features a durable 25mm aluminium tube, robust metal mounting brackets, and a child-safe side winder, offering easy adjustment to your desired length. The dim-out fabric softens incoming light, creating a pleasant ambiance without complete darkness.

FAQs
What is the exact drop length of the blind?
The blind offers a generous 160cm drop that can be adjusted to your desired length.
Can this blind be used for complete blackout?

What type of material is the tube made of?
The blind is mounted onto a 25mm aluminium tube.
What are the mounting options for the brackets?
The easy-fit brackets can be top fixed, face fixed, and installed inside or outside of the window recess.
How do I clean the fabric of the blind?
For light cleaning, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner attachment. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water is recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Is the side winder mechanism safe for children?

What color is the blind?

Troubleshooting
Blind does not lower or raise smoothly.
Check that the side winder cord is not tangled or obstructed. Ensure the blind is evenly rolled on the tube. If the issue persists, inspect the bracket and tube for any misalignment.
The side winder mechanism is difficult to operate.
Ensure the blind is not catching on anything. Check for any debris in the winder mechanism. If necessary, consult the setup guide to ensure proper installation.
Fabric appears creased or uneven.
Allow the blind to hang fully extended for a period; gravity may help smooth out minor creases. For stubborn creases, a gentle steam from a distance might be considered, but test on a small, hidden area first. Ensure the blind is rolled evenly on the tube.
Child-safe mechanism feels stiff.
Ensure the cord is properly seated within the safety mechanism. Avoid forcing the mechanism; check for any obstructions.

Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this may damage the fabric. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
