FAQs

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes all the components needed to make a Roman blind, except for the fabric. It contains the safety connect wheel mechanism, mounting brackets, and other necessary hardware.

What tools do I need?

You will need scissors, a measuring tape, a needle and thread or fabric glue, and a screwdriver or drill for installation. You may also need a pencil or marker to mark measurements on the fabric.

Can I use any fabric?

You can use most fabrics, but consider the weight and thickness of the fabric. Thicker fabrics may be more difficult to work with. Lighter fabrics might need a lining to provide better light control and prevent sagging.

How do I measure for the fabric?

Measure the width and height of your window opening. Add extra fabric for hems and overlap. Refer to the kit instructions for specific fabric measurement guidelines.

How do I clean the blinds?

Dust the blinds regularly with a soft cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment. For stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the SAFETY CONNECT mechanism?

The SAFETY CONNECT mechanism is a safety feature designed to enhance the safety of the blind, particularly in homes with children or pets. It helps prevent entanglement.

Can I return the kit if I change my mind?

Please refer to the retailer's return policy for information on returns.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts may be available from the retailer where you purchased the kit or directly from Curtains At Homes. Contact customer service for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Blind is not raising or lowering smoothly.

Check for any obstructions in the cord mechanism. Ensure the cords are running freely and are not tangled. Lubricate the mechanism if necessary.

Fabric is sagging or not hanging properly.

Ensure the rods are correctly inserted and evenly spaced. Check that the fabric is securely attached to the mechanism.

The blind is too long or too short.

Adjust the cord length to achieve the desired drop. Re-measure the fabric if necessary and make adjustments.

The brackets do not fit correctly.

Double-check the bracket placement and ensure they are aligned correctly. If the brackets still do not fit, contact Curtains At Homes for assistance.
