FAQs

Does the 4.5cm reduction include the brackets?

Yes, the fabric itself is 4.5cm narrower than the total width to accommodate the mechanism and brackets on either side.

Can I install these outside the window recess?

While intended for inside-recess mounting, they can be face-fitted if the brackets are securely screwed into the wall or window frame casing.

How do I trim the blind?

Measure the desired width, mark the tube and fabric, then use a hacksaw for the metal roller and a sharp utility knife for the fabric.

Is the fabric machine washable?

No, you should only spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth to preserve the blackout lining.

What is the primary benefit of the metal fittings?

Metal fittings provide superior durability and structural integrity, preventing the common snapping or sagging associated with plastic hardware.

Troubleshooting

Blind is not rolling down evenly

Check that the mounting brackets are perfectly level and that the fabric is centered on the roller tube.

Blind is too wide for the window

Measure the required width and use a hacksaw for the metal tube and a sharp blade for the fabric, ensuring a straight cut.

Light leaks from the sides

Ensure the blind is mounted as close to the glass as possible within the recess to minimize gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent light-blocking performance for improved privacy
  • Sturdy metal fittings provide better reliability than plastic alternatives
  • Modern square eyelet styling fits contemporary decor
  • Trimmable design allows for a custom-fit appearance
  • Available in a variety of widths and colors

Cons

  • Fabric width is 4.5cm less than total installed width
  • Requires manual trimming for exact fitment
  • Not suitable for window frames smaller than the mounting bracket span

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic tools including a drill, screwdriver, and a measuring tape. First, measure your window recess width carefully, remembering to account for the 4.5cm gap required for the bracket fittings. If your window is narrower than the standard size, use a sharp craft knife to trim the fabric and metal tube to size. For care, gently dust the blinds periodically with a soft cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Avoid soaking the fabric in water, as this may damage the blackout coating; instead, spot clean with a damp, lint-free cloth if necessary.
