FAQs

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the headrail with hook tape, end caps, PVC clip-in 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. Fabric is not included.

Can the blind be cut to a smaller size?

Yes, the blind kit is designed to be cut down to fit your specific window dimensions. The headrail and fabric can be trimmed to achieve the desired width, and the drop can also be adjusted.

What type of fabric should I use?

The kit is compatible with most standard curtain fabrics. Heavier fabrics may provide a more luxurious drape, while lighter fabrics will create a softer look. Consider the fabric's weight and stiffness for the best performance.

Is this kit suitable for large windows?

The kit is available in widths up to 210cm, making it suitable for many larger windows. For very wide windows, consider if the fabric you choose can support the weight and span effectively.

How do I ensure child safety?

The kit includes a child safety cord cleat. After assembling the blind, wrap the operating cord around the cleat and secure it firmly against the wall to keep the cord out of reach of children.

What is the drop length of the blind?

The blind comes with a standard drop of 210cm, which can be cut down as needed to fit your window height.

Troubleshooting

Blind does not hang straight.

Ensure the headrail is mounted perfectly level and the bottom weight bar is correctly centered within the fabric.

Cord mechanism is difficult to operate.

Check that the cords are not tangled or twisted and that the fabric is not snagging on the mechanism. Ensure the cord lock is functioning smoothly.

Fabric is not adhering properly to the headrail.

Verify that the hook tape on the headrail is clean and that the corresponding loop tape on the fabric is securely attached and correctly aligned.

Blind does not stay in the raised position.

The cord lock may not be engaging properly. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly and that there are no obstructions preventing the lock from gripping the cord.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by cutting your chosen fabric to size, ensuring it is slightly larger than your window dimensions to allow for hem and attachment. Attach the fabric to the pre-fixed hook tape on the headrail and then stitch the pocket tape along the back of the fabric to hold the fibreglass rods. Thread the rods through the pockets. Attach the toggles and the cord lock mechanism. Mount the PVC clip-in wall supports securely to the wall using the provided screws and plugs, ensuring they are level and spaced correctly for the blind's width. Finally, hang the headrail on the supports and thread the operating cord through the system, securing it with the child safety cleat.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use with most standard curtain fabrics. The specific width and drop can be adjusted to fit most windows. Ensure your wall type is suitable for securely mounting the provided wall fixings.

Care: The kit components themselves require minimal care; wipe the headrail and plastic parts with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. The care of the finished blind will depend entirely on the fabric chosen. Always follow the fabric manufacturer's cleaning instructions.
